Just like with the Mozilla CEO. If the public doesn't like it, the business suffers and people get fired. That's free enterprise. Nothing wrong with it.

The Mozilla CEO dismissal had nothing to do with the public, or corporate performance, or executive competence.
It had to do with bigoted, agenda-driven, self-serving, self-aggrandizing board members acting on their intolerances.

From a business stance, their only saving grace is the relative subtle branding in place tying Mozilla to its products. That will limit public backlash directed against the board's BS actions. Otherwise they would have cut their own throats. In a just world, mozilla's profits would evaporate.

My suspicion is this had nothing to do with "gay rights" either. It was rather likely another manipulative use of "gay agenda" as means to an end, in this case a corporate board powerplay.
