How can I be assured of honest, forthright, and excellent Mozilla products in light of the recent firing? As I understand the situation, a coding genius and leading light in internet affairs was booted from Mozilla because he exercised his California citizen's right to vote (for either side) and to support a party to an open, official election in California a decade ago.

From my understanding of high school civics your actions are not in line with the Great American Experiment, and, in fact, appear to show a closed mindedness bordering on bigotry. Obviously there are undoubtedly more factors than are bandied about in the blogosphere. Please enlighten us.

That said, how will you approach Mozillians' various ideas and variety going forward? Don't you value differences in opinion and direction as a strength? How will you make up for the loss of a genius at this craft? Under this inner-directed leadership is Mozilla circling the drain?

hello, there are quite few misconceptions and wrong media reports flying around about what happened around brendan's resignation as ceo and from mozilla totally. please refer to https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/05/faq-on-ceo-resignation/ and https://medium.com/p/7645a4bf8a2 for more information on the subject.

since this forum is staffed primarily by volunteers and a place to provide technical support for mozilla products and not a general place for discussing policies, i'm also going to close this thread. should you still have any concerns on the subject that you want to discuss, please take them to the mozilla governance mailing list located at https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance instead.

thank you!
