An interesting development. I just got a pop up in Firefox saying it’s blocked some Microsoft add-ons because of high security risks.

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.

Haha. Yea.

This is a pitfall of open source.

Hopefully they handle it respectfully and not use our browsers/computers as the battle ground!
