Solve : Add-ons Blocklist | Mozilla? |
|
Answer» An interesting development. I just got a pop up in Firefox saying it’s blocked some Microsoft add-ons because of high security risks. There must be some serious legal issues with MS making changes to a competitors product without anyones permission. That's a pitfall of open source. I just wonder if MS will respond with a lawsuit. Calling their software a security threat is actually a pretty big deal. Hopefully they try to work with Mozilla. That would be a much better gesture and might actually make them look like they do care about Firefox USERS.Quote from: evilfantasy on October 17, 2009, 11:54:54 AM I just wonder if MS will respond with a lawsuit. Calling their software a security threat is actually a pretty big deal. According to the Mozilla blog post that you linked to, Microsoft agreed to the block. Quote from: Mozilla Security Blog ... we contacted Microsoft today to indicate that we were looking to disable the extension and plugin for all users via our blocklisting mechanism. Microsoft agreed with the plan ...Ahh. ALTHOUGH MS could just stub their nose at Mozilla and do something DIFFERENT. Hopefully they handle it respectfully and not use our browsers/computers as the battle ground!Mozilla OS? |
