Mozilla hasn't fired anyone for their views.

And caring about users' security is to be commended.

The article characterizing his resignation as forced or him being fired does not make it true.

There was a large outcry, then he resigned. His resignation can be directly traced to his views. Whether he was technically fired or "decided" to resign seems largely irrelevant.

Fired for his views, or fired because of the bad press as a result of his views? I think there's enough of a difference to warrant the distinction.
