Sneaky Microsoft plug-in puts Firefox users at risk

Reminds me of the time that Micro**** said that WGA-N was a "critical"
update except this time they put computer users at risk. Not very nice,
Micro****.

Windows 7 comes with a video of wildlife.
It shows a Koala yawning?
Subtle comment?

Well, back to the original subject, did you think it was going to hold?
FF can't get away with it as there are too many .NET users using FF.

Mozilla has also pushed out a change that will let users running Firefox
3.5 override the block, added Shaver. That change came out of
discussions with enterprise Firefox users who said that they needed the
two components to run their .NET-based software within the browser.

The block of Windows Presentation Foundation will likely be lifted in
the next two days. "Microsoft is watching the patch deployment numbers,
and sharing them with us," said Shaver. "At some point, we'll take the
[Windows Presentation Foundation] plug-in off the blocker. I expect that
to happen in the next 48 hours."

Good to know all of this, because just yesterday the FF blocked that plug-in
for me and 'I didn't have the slightest'.
Thanks, <H>.
