Brendan Eich Destroys Firefox's Reputation

Brendan Eich, CEO of Mozilla Firefox

[UPDATE: Result - he's quit.]

Brendan Eich, CEO of Mozilla Firefox, has single-handedly started a firestorm that sees him at loggerheads with the company he heads.

You'd sack an employee for racism or sexism, but you promote a homophobe to head of your company? 

Go figure.

Here's five facts you need to know about this limp willy. Including the news that dating site OKCupid have blocked Firefox browsers in protest.

Credo have launched a petition currently over 73,000 people, and Change.org have done the same with almost 100,000 signatures, calling for his dismissal.
