There's no evidence for Mozilla having fired him. All we know is that the media was doing a witch hunt on him and he decided to step back.

  “It’s clear that Brendan cannot lead Mozilla in this setting, [...] The ability to lead — particularly for the CEO — is fundamental to the role and that is not possible here.” Mitchell Baker, Mozilla Executive Chairwoman EDIT: The parent said there was no evidence, here is evidence that the board already made its mind up, whether you like it or not is of no consequence. It's still evidence of that bias.

    He resigned. That Baker parrots Eichs own explanation for resigning does not make it so that she fired him. Neither Eich nor the rest of Mozilla could figure out how to handle the huge media backlash, so they simply decided to give up. Mozilla has a history of being very weak against media onslaughts.

      >He resigned. So did Nixon when it was clear he was going to be removed from office anyway. >That Baker parrots Eichs own explanation for resigning does not make it so that she fired him. Are you honestly going to tell me that he would not have been removed by a board that makes statements like the above? Here's a better thing to say: 'no comment'
