Will Mozilla enforce ideological uniformity on users?

The About dialog for Firefox states that the objective of Mozilla is to keep the Web accessible to all. Yet Brendan Eich was bullied into resigning over a private held opinion, which everybody admits did not impact his work. Since actions speak louder than words, I understand that Mozilla in fact has an agenda policing thoughtcrime. My question is, does this apply to employees/contributors only, or does it extend to users?
Are people who eg. oppose gay marriage allowed to use Firefox to browse the Web? Will Mozilla begin to restrict what kind of sites can be accesses with Firefox? What about using Thunderbird to transmit prohibited opinions?
(I asked this in the MozillaZine forums, but a moderator rejected it - true to new form, I suppose. Question #993467 here is similar to this one.)

The forums.mozillaZine.org forums is a independent forum that is not a part of nor run by Mozilla http://www.mozillazine.org/about/ so your thread was not really appropriate when Mozilla would not have seen it anyways. Also if the thread had any attacks or insults or such then even more so in not being appropriate.
''Our organizational culture reflects diversity and inclusiveness. We welcome contributions from everyone regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, gender, gender-identity, language, race, sexual orientation, geographical location and religious views. Mozilla supports equality for all. We have employees with a wide diversity of views. Our culture of openness extends to encouraging staff and community to share their beliefs and opinions in public. This is meant to distinguish Mozilla from most organizations and hold us to a higher standard. We absolutely believe both in equality and freedom of speech. Sometimes standing for both at the same time can be hard. A CEO needs to be able to lead, and under the circumstances in the last week with the scrutiny over this issue, '''Brendan made a personal choice to step down from the role'''''.

    For multiple users on a computer, will Firefox Sync synchronize all the users on a computer or only the one logged on? For instance my spouse and I will share a laptop and I want to sync my Firefox when I log on there also but do not want to sync her data.

    My daughter and I have separate iCloud accounts set up on out desktop PCs and our iPhones and iPads. We want to share the usage of a Win 8 laptop and will log in using using separate user accounts. Is it possible to set up our own iCloud accounts in each of those separate user accounts?

    No it is not possible.  Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

  • Send a Unix command through ARD that will change a OS X admin user to a standard user.

    I would love to send a Unix command through ARD that will change a OS X admin user to a standard user. The only thing I found close is
    sudo dscl . -delete /Groups/admin GroupMembership USERNAME
    which does remove the user from the list of admins, but they are still listed as an admin in the user preference panel, and can still use their account to authenticate for admin privileges.

    I'm not having any problems adding or removing users from the 'admin' group by using the syntax's
    dscl . -delete /Groups/admin GroupMembership ARDusername
    or
    dscl . -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership ARDusername
    What I'm saying is if a user is ticked as an Adminstrator in System Preferences and I run the
    dscl . -delete /Groups/admin GroupMembership ARDusername syntax and remove them from the 'admin' GroupMembership they still have the Administrator box ticked in System Prefs and can administer the machine.
    By the way the '/' doesn't work in the syntax in ARD.
    Thanks

    Settings>Store: Tap the AppleID and choose "Sign Out", it will then prompt you to sign in and you can use the new AppleID.
    NOTE: Apps must be updated with the AppleID they were purchased under.

  • A website "http: // supportfirefox .perl .sh/" designed just like Mozilla Firefox site, is driving users to download fake browser. Please check.

    I was browsing for image of "Miss Universe" in Google images in Firefox and somehow got a prompt to download firefox_update.exe. As I know that this is not the way Firefox prompts the user for upgradation, I checked the website. It has been designed to fake Mozilla Firefox website and driving users to download their own executable resembling with Mozilla Firefox setup.
    http: // supportfirefox .perl .sh
    ''Edited to de-activate the links - TonyE''

    What I'd really like to do is block them with "Adblock Plus" extension. I made up filters for them as follows but while it seems to work for .co.cc they do not work for .perl.sh as in the one in this thread. Reporting them is fine but they spring up so fast that I'd like to just tell people how they can block them even at the expense of some legitimate sites since they are so out of control.
    <br>&nbsp; ||dnsever.com
    <br>&nbsp; |*.perl.sh^
    <br>&nbsp; |*.co.cc^
    I also block these in the hosts file

  • Will Mozilla firefox conflict at all with my Macbook Pro operating system?

    Will Mozilla Firefox conflict with my Mountain Lion operating system and Safari?

    No, why should it?
    Any program you install can contact the Internet, if you don't like the Safari web browser (and many don't) then your certainly free to install a alternative.
    Just don't install a web browser from AppStore, because Apple has a 4-8 week delay while they review all apps there, leaving a window of opportunity for your machine to be hacked.
    Security Issues Warning List
    Harden your Mac against malware attacks
    Apple is notoriously slow in issuing security updates for OS X, Safari, iTunes etc, doing so many months (or in one case 3 years) after being notified of the issue.
    https://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/11/apple-took-3-years-to-fix-finfisher-trojan-h ole/
    To install Firefox you'll likely have to head to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Security > General and where it says Downloads select "Anywhere" (you can always turn it back later)
    Then visit this page, check the status of your plugins and there also is a download for Firefox on the same page.
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    It will be in your Downloads folder and you open that, double click the installer or package to open it to show the program and drag it to your Applications folder, then from there drag a icon (alias) to the Dock so you can access it quickly.
    Firefox has tons of Add-ons, more than anyone else.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
    Plus tons of persona's that dress up the browser
    https://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/All/Movers/100
    It's a customizable browser, there are already many themes others made
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/complete-themes/
    It also auto updates by itself and the add-ons, security issues are fixed very rapidly and can come out within hours of a exploit being known.
    So it gets updated very fast, unlike Safari which is glacial.

  • When will Mozilla force users to download the FF 4.x?

    with certain apps not working with FF v4 how long do we have before Mozilla forces users to upgrade to 4.x?

    You are never forced to download Firefox 4.0, it is an optional upgrade.
    Mozilla are currently also releasing updates for Firefox 3.5.* and 3.6.*
