Why Is Microsoft Secretly Installing Addons For Third Party Browsers?
Microsoft rolled out an update to their .NET framework, and in it is an extension for Firefox. The update installs this extension and doesn’t allow you to uninstall it. As if that isn’t bad enough (Microsoft FORCING people to use their stuff – wasn’t there suits about this already?), Microsoft gives no documentation regarding what this is or does, or any notification that it is installing.
Maybe it’s time for our new Justice Department to take a look at Microsoft.

If this was an add-on that the Firefox user could opt to accept or reject, that would be one thing. But M$ is forcing this on Firefox users. And why does this need to be an add-on anyway? I can use Google without downloading software from Google...
