Unfortunately, I need to find a new browser now. Can you suggest a browser that comes without the Prop 8 hate of Brandon Eich?

Your recent statement regarding your new CEO Brendan Eich's anti-LGBTQ views, does nothing to take responsibility for his actions.

Until Mozilla takes real action, such as removing him from the CEO position, or from Mozilla completely, I will continue to search for a new browser.

This is a perfectly reasonable request. In over 30 US States it is legal to fire LGBTQ people, just for being LGBTQ people.

Since Brendan Eich refuses to even discuss his anti-LGBTQ views, your statement as well as Mr. Mark Surman's, Mozilla Foundation Executive Director, statement are viewed by many as complete Public Relations propaganda.

I am very disappointed in your organization. To promote someone to CEO, who views LGBTQ people, or ANY group of people as second-class citizens and funds attempts to keep us/them so, is an action that you need to reverse quickly or lose your entire justice conscious community base.

By the way, I have been loyal to your products since the end of "NetScape" (before AOL's purchase of it). I only hope that Mozilla will remove Brendan Eich from any leadership post quickly, before the millions of LGBTQ people and our justice-minded supporters, world-wide, bring about the collapse of Mozilla.

Please act quickly.

This does not have a place in the support forum. The proper use of the support forum is asking about and resolving issues for the betterment of the community, not for cause advocacy.

This a Support forum for Firefox, Thunderbird, webmaker. I will close this thread as offtopic. Since this primarily community-run forum is intended for providing technical support, it's not the right place to discuss policy issues - please also refer to the Mozilla Support rules and guidelines. thank you!
