Microsoft screws Firefox

on Saturday, October, 17, 2009 7:31 PM
Back in February, Microsoft secretly installed a "Windows Presentation Foundation" plug-in into Firefox and now Microsoft is saying to uninstall or disable that sucker because there's a "critical" security error that can get you into some serious ****.

I am currently updating my Windows Vista and Firefox told me about the plugin and automatically disabled it. However, I'm not completely satisfied until that spyware is uninstalled completely.

I'm outraged (but not surprised) that Microsoft did such a ridiculous and retarded act.

Well, I just checked my plugins menu, nothing about a Windows Presentation Foundation thing anywhere.

When was that installed?

EDIT: It was on my Dad's laptop, and I'm on a new computer. I probably installed firefox after the MS update that screwed it over.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I read this on ZDnet the other day.. but how they explained it was a little bit of over hype as usual. Firefox is fine as long as WPF is removed. I use Firefox all the time and haven't had issues with it yet... but I also haven't noticed the plug-in ever being installed... yet..where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Firefox disabled that the other day and I was all "WTF, I didn't even install that o.O"

MICROSOFTTTT!!!!

I want to kick them in the kneecaps so badly for this and the fact that they bought out the Danger servers (Sidekick) and ran the servers into the grounds so both of my parents lost their email contacts. >.

Kia: Cool. I'm a infamous mythological perfect User.

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

I should go to that or go to evolution that I use in linux over here. One not with OUtlook express and up until I think it was 2003 there is a 2 gigabyte limit to the pst files. Outlook 2007 it is something like 20 gigabyte in size and even then. I was not even close to a gig and something and took my computer until the morning to compact it and clean it up. ANd that is after clearing the outbox, sent items, and deleted items. It works faster now that it has been done. Just takes time in order to do it. It is an undocumented feature that they don't usually tell people about only until it is absolutely essential to do so. Where is that gates guy I wanna smack him silly with a thick New York times Saturday edition there. See if he breaks in half from it. LOL
