By Gerry Shih SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – OkCupid.com, the popular online dating site, called for a boycott of Mozilla Firefox to protest the worlds No. 2 Web browser naming a gay marriage opponent as chief executive. OkCupid visitors who accessed the website through Firefox on Monday were told in a message to use other browsers such as Microsoft Corps Internet Explorer or Google Incs Chrome. Mozillas new CEO, Brendan Eich, is an opponent of equal rights for gay couples, the message said. We would therefore prefer that our users not use Mozilla software to access OkCupid. Especially in the kind of modern hero culture, the CEO is equivalent to the company, said Christian Rudder, an OkCupid co-founder.
