Randal, Thanks for voicing your concern and your support for Freedom of Speech. We agree that Freedom of Speech is a critical freedom and that nobody should be fired for using it.
However, I would like to stress out something: Brendan Eich was not fired. He was the object of a very targeted political campaign coming from the outside of Mozilla. While there were a few within the Mozilla community who agreed with this campaign (I know of exactly 4 people, none of them employees of Mozilla Corporation), most of Mozilla, including the board, stood behind Brendan. If you want to know the details, may I suggest you read the following blog entry? http://blog.gerv.net/2014/04/your-ire-is-misdirected/ The owner of this blog is Gervase, another member of the Mozilla community, and he explains many things better than I could.
