Not long ago Brendan Eich took over the reins of Mozilla. But last night he officially announced his resignation. The resignation of Mozilla's new CEO came after a scandal broke out caused by a donation he made a few years ago to support of an anti-gay community that condemned same-sex marriage.
"Mozilla prides itself on adhering to a different standard, and last week it did not. We know why people are angry, and they are right: it's because we did not stay true to ourselves, "said a statement posted on the company's blog.
"We did not act as you would expect Mozilla to act. We did not move fast enough to work with people when the conflict started. We're sorry. We have to do something better than that, "the post continues.
Ο Mitchell Baker, the president of the Mozilla Foundation, as well as the former CEO of Mozilla Corporation, announced that Brendan Eich has chosen to step down from his role as CEO, for the sake of Mozilla and the community.
He also decided to leave the company entirely, citing that the Mission of Mozilla is bigger than anything and anyone else.
"Mozilla stands out for equality and freedom of speech and that it accepts everyone's suggestions, regardless of age, culture, nationality, gender, gender identity, language, race, sexual orientation, geographical location and religious opinions. ” Mozilla supports equality for all.
