As I expected - it looks like no-one remembers the "Drop Dropbox" boycott campaign that came right on the heels of Brendan Eich's ouster at Mozilla. I strongly believe had Mozilla's board showed him the same robust support Dropbox showed Condoleezza Rice, Mozilla would be in a much better place today.

Eich was far more closely tied to Mozilla than Rice to Dropbox, though. No one in their right mind thought Rice had much to do with Dropbox beyond being a name they could drop and a bit of lobbying help.
