Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich has stepped down, less than two weeks after he was named top executive of the company that makes the popular web browser, Firefox.

Last week, Mozilla employees took to Twitter to protest Eich’s promotion, angered by donations he had made to California’s 2008 campaign to ban same-sex marriage. Three Mozilla board members quit over the controversy that prompted dating Web site OKCupid to pen a political missive discouraging its members from accessing the site through Mozilla’s Firefox browser.

But Eich’s resignation drew just as much criticism as his stance on gay marriage, including criticism from those who disagree with his politics.
