Mozilla have been doing odd things in recent years, almost like they are transitioning into an authoritarian movement. Want to use unsanctioned extensions? No, go away. Want to use non-secure HTTP? Sure, but we will take away your features. Want to work for them but have unapproved views? Fired. All this is from viewing them as an outsider, so you never know, but something is different.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoMozilla hasn't fired anyone for their views. And caring about users' security is to be commended.

- toxican 11y agoFired for his views, or fired because of the bad press as a result of his views? I think there's enough of a difference to warrant the distinction.
- Karunamon 11y agoThe article characterizing his resignation as forced or him being fired does not make it true.
- ikeboy 11y agoThere was a large outcry, then he resigned. His resignation can be directly traced to his views. Whether he was technically fired or "decided" to resign seems largely irrelevant.
