I seriously doubt any successful software company is firing engineers for introducing bugs. They'd have no employees.

Right. The developer made the bug, perhaps QA should have found the bug, perhaps the project manager has the responsibility. There is no single person to point out.

That said, it is not normal, in my country at least, to fire people.
