My understanding is that Mozilla employees protesting his politics were not actually planning to walk and were disappointed and a little embarrassed that he left. They just wanted some sort of apology.

How did you arrive at that understanding? The Mozilla employees I've heard from said the opposite.

Mostly based on comments from Rarebit, as well as a few others.

Rarebit was 2 people who didn't work for Mozilla.

They worked with Mozilla and were prominent critics during that time. At any rate, now you know why I know how developers felt.

It looks like the closest they came to working with Mozilla was porting a simple game to Firefox OS. Getting attention at the time doesn't mean they spoke for anyone else. It sounds like you don't know how Mozilla employees felt.
