Mozilla CEO Eich resigns after controversy

Brendan Eich, Mozilla's chief technology officer and the founder of JavaScript, said the B2G browser-based mobile OS has less software overhead than iOS and Android and therefore can use lower-cost hardware. He spoke at Mobile World Congress.

Mozilla's new chief executive Brendan Eich has resigned, after being dogged by calls for his resignation after word over his support for an anti-gay marriage bill in California.
Mozilla's board chairman Mitchell Baker announced Eich's resignation in a blog post on Thursday.
"Brendan Eich has chosen to step down from his role as CEO. He's made this decision for Mozilla and our community," Baker wrote.
Mozilla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
