I thought it was damn funny. There was definitely an unintended outburst at my desk.

But then...... I also thought it was spectacularly hypocritical of Mozilla to fire him for having what amounted to... ideals. Which is what Mozilla supposedly works to protect.

They didn't fire him for having ideals. One, because they didn't fire him, and, more significantly, because the problem was not him having ideal, but him being unable to determine or unwilling to take the steps necessary to effectively manage a major PR incident affecting Mozilla's relationship with users, employees, and other important stakeholders. (Or, given that he actually resigned, maybe he was quite able to determine and willing to take the necessary steps, but those steps were inconsistent with him remaining as CEO.)
