    I only noticed it because I had to uninstall another extension.

    It's amazing(ly stupid) how people get upset about this, but don't seem to care when Google chooses to install an auto-updater for Chrome without permission, or Sun puts in an auto-updater for Java, again without asking, or Adobe does the same thing for Acrobat... the list goes on and on.
    I'm more annoyed by Mozilla's presumption to inform me of my "rights", while setting Firefox to automatically check and install updates for their browser than I am about MS sticking a .NET plugin in Firefox.

    I'm not really sure why this is coming up again all of a sudden. We got an earful about it at Mozilla about 6 months ago for allowing it to even be possible. People at MSFT got poked, there was a My Bad, and it seemed to go away.

    Slow news! And the Washington Post is techno-stupid.

    This is what happens when you leave journalists in charge of IT.
