The co-founder of the Mozilla Corporation, the company behind the Firefox Internet browser, resigned on Wednesday amid both internal and external calls for his departure because of his support for Californias anti-LGBT Proposition 8.
Re/code reported on Thursday that Brendan Eich has also stepped down from his post on Mozillas non-profit foundation.
The move came 24 hours after The Guardian reported that Eich refused to acquiesce to the pressure.
