Steen, I am sorry to read this. However, it is not clear to me where you get your information, and some of it appears to be false.
No client was involved anywhere - truly, Mozilla doesn't have clients. Brendan was not pushed out by Mozilla, but by a targeted media campaign organized as a marketing ploy by OKCupid. Brendan personally, and Mozilla as a whole, was hit by a storm of complaints, boycotts, and by a petition that gathered tens of thousands of signatures. Against the wishes of the Board and much to the disappointment of most of the community, Brendan Eich decided to step down, as he felt his presence was damaging Mozilla. However, Brendan is still very much part of the Mozilla project and he keeps fighting the good fight alongside us. I hope this message helped clarify a confusing situation. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
