I hope you're not referring to Brendan Eich, because he was not fired: he left Mozilla of his own free will, in spite of the board's request that he stay.

It was his non-apology apology and his stubborn refusal to transparently and honestly explain and justify his actions, which did the most damage to Mozilla and his own reputation.

He decided on his own to leave Mozilla, because he didn't believe he owed anyone an explanation of why he paid to destroy other people's marriages, and that wasn't compatible with leading an organization dedicated to openness and inclusiveness. That's not getting fired.

I think you should be more worried about the politically incorrect right wing religious zealot hate machine firing people for watching porn, not the "politically correct machine" that you wouldn't put it past.

Oh here we go again, please! While Eich resigned there was no way he could have continued at Mozilla and the way you frame your frustrated demand for his explanation, there was no way anything he said short of a complete reversal, abject apology (as if he didn't actually apologize for hurt he caused), and compensation to a pro Marriage Equality cause that would begin to please your grievances. I actually respect him more for quietly departing after the crap that was flung at him, rather than pull a weaselly Obama and "evolve". You means justify the ends types will be very sorry when you're on the losing side of your approach.
