Mozilla certainly wasn’t willing to embrace diverse views when it came to former CEO Brendan Eich’s support of traditional marriage, but the company is nevertheless claiming that it is built on tolerance:
@fluffyAoSHQ On the contrary, diverse views and openness is the core of who Mozilla is.

Well of course, which is why they begged Eich not to resign! Wait, never mind.
On Twitter, Mozilla’s all-inclusive claim was a tough sell with many:

@RBPundit @mozilla @fluffyAoSHQ So why did your co-founder and CEO not believe your mission statement? If you're so tolerant, why resign?

Mozilla is open to diverse opinions? There’s only one way to respond to that:
