Thank you for your comments and your stand on freedom of speech. It seems, however, that you were misinformed. Brendan Eich was not fired, nor forced out by Mozilla. Brendan Eich chose to step down, as he felt that the controversy was damaging for the mission of Mozilla.
We will keep fighting the good fight for freedom of speech, for privacy and for the open web. It is my hope that Brendan will keep contributing to this fight, whether as part of Mozilla or as part of some other venture.
