We all know that Microsoft hates their competition and will do anything to eliminate it (but not before stealing it’s technology). While you may think it’s just another bug in Microsoft’s programming, some seem to think they are trying to sabotage Firefox and their growing market-share.

A while back, Microsoft silently installed an addon to the Firefox browser for .NET framework. It wasn’t something you could opt out of, it wasn’t something you were told about, and it is something that’s hard to remove. Now they’ve gone farther and caused enormous security flaws in FireFox with their latest spread of addons and have even admitted it, recommends uninstalling it.

Well, my first thought is yay Microsoft. Take a browser far more secure, far faster, and more feature rich than IE, and then try killing it. You guys rock! Sounds like a great plan for taking a browser that’s sure to overcome IE in market-share and expose it to the same flaws as IE, so IT Professionals will want to remove it from their networks. Here’s an idea – stay away from shit that isn’t yours. Let FireFox be and if they are better than you, deal with it. Here’s a thought — focus on putting out a good product that can beat FireFox fairly instead of focusing on bringing other browsers down to IE’s crappy level. What’s next? Sabotage Android so it sucks like Windows Mobile? Please… I beg of you… STAY AWAY FROM FIREFOX AND ANDROID!!!
