Mozilla CEO vows to fire employee for writing 2 non-PC sentences on Reddit

Does it even matter? Mozilla as a company is dead in the water now that google weaned most of its user base to chrome. (which was partly done by Mozilla recieving a substantial amount of its funding by making google the default search engine.)

This could be the reason why I've been using Chrome for the last five years.

I was gonna say Firefox is still pretty good because you can get some neat extensions for it, like AnonymoX, which lets you browse anonymously by altering your IP address.
And then I found out you can get the same extension in Chrome. Oh well.
It's getting more and more bizarre the way companies are firing people for new sins. I just gave la bodhisattva a rep point for making the observation "The pendulum has swung to such a degree that SJWs have replaced the Religious Right's place as the West's morality police."
To build on that, it's almost as if SJW have replaced The Church with The Corporation as the arbiter of morality. Which is ironic, since a lot of them profess to be anti-corporate.

The only thing that matters is making a good product. The CEO thinks he can get a better workforce by making a public stand like this than he can by allowing it. He might be right.

Can anyone recommend an alternative to Chrome or IE that has a mod-ability the Firefox has? I'll be happy to increase the diversity of Firefox's audience by not using it anymore.

You don't know if the REAL reason they were fired is because of some comments on Reddit. It may be, but it's not necessarily.
For example, there are a lot of times that a boss WANTS to fire an employee for any number of possible reasons (butting heads, etc) but it's not safe to fire him outright without a real good reason. Then a situation like this presents itself and it finally gives an opportunity to fire an employee for cause.
That may not have happened, but I don't like to pass judgement myself on these situations just by reading an article on it.
The other side is that when you're the boss and an unimportant nothing employee starts openly insulting upper management, well that threatens the stability of the organization and the leadership. It is also a sign of weakness if the leadership does not enact punishment (same thing with the mods and them putting down time-outs and bans on this forum). See: Robert Green the 48 Laws of Power.
The point I'm trying to make is that there's a lot more to the situation than an inflammatory post on Reddit.

Feminists love to blur the lines between things. Hate speech is the new "he raped me."

These creatures are hideous. How did millions of years of evolution select for this.

That foul creature up there looks exactly like every "community organiser" in every tech company or conference I have been to. I'm not entirely sure why their kind is always hired for that particular role. You'd think they'd hire someone charming, likeable and at least human-looking.

Some fucking bitch hijacks a software organization meant to design, develop and distribute browsers free to use by the entire world population and makes it about herself and her advocacy for open culture, diverse community, politics of queerness and the inherent evilness of heterosexual men. She barges in and wants limited hours and dollars spent not on the project but on her own political agenda.
And no one stands up and says: "This is a business and not a political party."
At universities, students are required to attend sensitivity workshops and encouraged to engaged in student activism. Entire majors that are not about describing how the world works, but how it should work. Speech is curtailed based on feelings and conservative and male views are not allowed.
And no one stands up and says: "This is a university and not a political party."
Culturally, these people are a vicious strain of HIV, infiltrating healthy and productive groups and sabotaging their mission by disabling their defense. Their ideology can't be refuted by design as agreement is accepted and disagreement is a hateful admission of guilt.
Biologically, these people are worthless but effective parasites. They can build nothing of value themselves. They are free to start companies or other organizations, but they don't. Instead they find groups of men that are working together to build and create and forcefully inject themselves into the hierarchy as self-proclaimed arbiters of justice, superficially representing marginalized groups while redirecting funds and influence to themselves.
And everyone has been cowed into submission and lets them.
We need to stand up and call them out. Refuse their frame and freight train them. Use their own tricks and rules against them. Mock and ridicule them. And most importantly, lead by example because it's a lot harder to shame you when you cannot be shamed. They are full with hate and bitterness and they project that outwards. Be strong, be healthy and be kind.
You can't be called a basement-dweller to your face if you look great. Your body is built and your grooming is excellent. Unlike on the internet, this is seen by people and decides most discussions in their unconscious mind. You can't be said to hate women because you actually enjoy their company and they enjoy yours. You just disagree with the rabid politics of modern feminism. You can criticize female behavior, because you view them as responsible adults with agency instead of mindless, powerless victims.
Live a principled and disciplined life and most enemies will crumble at first sight.
