It seems like I don't have that add-on installed on my Firefox, I might've removed it earlier because I didn't know what it was.

This plug-in is nothing major or new. Whenever it updates Firefox on start will bring up the Add-ons manager and show you that it was installed or updated. The uninstall button on it does work (and if it doesn't you're missing a patch) so it's no big deal.

Its just another way of microsofts to try and take over anything that competes with thier products. Its not that bad though and i dont care because i already use IE.

P.S. this is my 100th post

if enough people report it to the right authorities (which they probably wont), then Microsoft could get fined like a trillion dollars again! YEY

I did have it, but once it was updated I removed it. No big deal.

This is business tricks. Microsoft wants to make more money but other people want to make money too. I am using both IE8 and Firefox 3.6 and I prefer FF over IE.

What about the incompatibility between Windows 7 and Open Office, or anyrhing portable.

For some reason this does not surprise me.

This is not news though, it's very annoying. It's also one of the reasons I use Linux on my home computer.

Microsoft? :thefinger
