They obviously had to fire him. He dared to engage in free expression. Hipsters, like those that make up Mozilla and so much of the web development community these days, tend to consider freedom to be completely unacceptable. Somebody's feelings might get hurt!

Well, I honestly didn't give a flying fuck what he thought, but it was the idea that advertising was going to be moved into the UI for Firefox that made me jump ship. I'm now using Midori under Linux (for its warts) and Palemoon for Windows. Stating an opinion I don't like? Meh, ok. I've grown a bit since I was in elementary school. Using money to lobby against legislation that would make things better for folks like me? Ahhh, ummm, ok, whatever. Being in a position to receive additional funding because there's advertising in a program I use? Eh, no, sorry, jump ship.
(Granted, I don't think this has actually materialized, but I wouldn't know since I haven't used Firefox in many moons.)
