Apparently having an opinion and supporting values different from what liberals term as “normal” is akin to heresy, as if his beliefs showing some minor financial support for legislation supporting family values in anyway inhibits his abilities or implies any hatred towards the mentally ill.

I am showing my support, got Firefox running now, and will be uninstalling all my other browsers for as long as he is CEO.

People, especially “liberals” seems to forget that free expression of ideas and beliefs is what this country was founded on.

I used Mozilla for so long until I read an article on how Google Chrome is way better. I changed it, and boy were they right.

:thumbsup:

I'll stream Netflix through Mozilla to contribute to the anti-gay cause though.

I still use Firefox. I like it, plus the whole open source thing :)

@OP: Don't care.

I've been using Mozilla products since Netscape Navigator and Communicator. I really don't care what an employee at a firm says tbh, although it would be fun to just yell at a random employee somewhere over what their CEO did for the pure irrationality of it. I read the story a few days ago and decided that I'm using their product for surfing the internet and not for moral reasoning so it doesn't really apply much to me. I would like if shockwave would stop freezing up my browser, especially when I'm doing the Spanish and mouse over specific ad on the translation website that I use for the staggering amount of conjugations on every verb.

I've used Firefox since 2005. Chrome has way too many problems with its plugins.

If you knew anything about development you wouldn't say something like that, but I'll let it slide, I bet you use a Windows Mobile phone.

:rofl:

Of course OKcupid has to appeal to a lowest common denominator, the users of their site.

Firefox was good, but I use Waterfox now.

unless Firefox starts discriminating against the LBGT community with their software this is just people, being offended by something from 5-6 years ago, who don't realize being offended is part of life.

Half the team quit because someone donated a tiny sum of money to a proposition 6 years ago?

Talk about an overreaction.
