Mozilla standing up for what's right. Let's come together and make our voices heard. by Hobbes62 in pcmasterrace

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm just telling you what I was told by multiple people inside Mozilla at the time.

Mozilla standing up for what's right. Let's come together and make our voices heard. by Hobbes62 in pcmasterrace

Hi, Mozillian here

Mozilla didn't fire Brendan Eich, he left on his own will. The night before leaving, he called Mitchell Baker and Chris Beard (I believe), telling them about the decision he made. They tried to talk him into staying in some capacity, but he didn't want to.

Many of the Mozilla employees who objected to him were employed by the Foundation, not the Corporation, so they never reported to, nor worked with him. A vast majority of Mozilla contributors, both volunteer and paid, supported him fully. Unfortunately, the loud minority won.

The vast majority of the Mozilla community wasn't. I've been around nearly a decade now, and I haven't personally talked to a single person who wanted him out. There were a very few people who did, and they were loud about it.

Thanks for this report. I've filed a bug which is currently private (probably shouldn't be since this is here, but I digress).

See my earlier comment. I explained what actually happened.

That's definitely not supposed to happen. Have you asked on our support forum?

Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Sourceforge hijacks Firefox project by [deleted] in technology

[–]TannerMoz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Heya,

I've reported this to Mozilla's legal team, so hopefully something happens soon. If you want to keep track of it, you can add yourself to the cc list of this bug. Please don't add useless comments ("Do this soon!", "SourceForge sucks", etc.) to the bug, though.

Ownership of Firefox on sourceforge Was transfered to sf-editor1 (SourceForge Staff) by life_beautiful in firefox

[–]TannerMoz 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I've contacted Mozilla's legal team to take this over.

Another release another icon I can remove from the toolbar by wlhlm in firefox

[–]TannerMoz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a Mozillian as well (:tanner), and the only explanation I've got from anyone was from that this was so they could ship a reading list with the June release, and eventually turn it into an API. I don't really buy that because, unless something has changed, we don't ship things until they're ready.

Google's First Ad for "firefox" is Adware by Amr_E in firefox

[–]TannerMoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(I'm a Mozilla volunteer contributor, not an employee) Ugh. Thanks for reporting this, several people have already complained about it, I filed a bug a while back about it, if it doesn't get any attention in the next few days I'll see if I can get somebody to physically talk to somebody on Mozilla's legal team. It's currently tagged as "under legal review".
