Recently firefox has been asking me to donate to them at their home page, hence I am checking out their background.
Doing a quick search I find I miss out the news regarding all the rage about Firefox new CEO who invented Javascript only lasted for 11 days because he make a donation on antigay activities 6 years ago.

While that had been an interesting read, I am not disscussing about gay rights as there are enough such disscussion going around the internet.
What I want to highlight is we had been fooled and used for some people personal gain.
OkCupid, a dating site which is the spearhead for the movement against the New CEO has used and make a fool out of the people.
The co-funder of OKCupid, Sam Yagan had make a donation to a anti gay politiction in the past.

So it is ok that OKCupid called for blood on Eich because he make a donation on anti gay movement in the pass, while its own Co-Funder and CEO of Match.com, OkCupid’s parent company, is guilty of the same thing?
I particularlly like this

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
McAvoy added that he feels fortunate to work at a company like Mozilla, "where I can say that without fear of retribution."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That make my faith in huminity an all time low.
Edit:
In case someone had an idea that Sam is just incompetend and donated without knowing the politiction stance here is something you should know
