Mozilla Blocks two Microsoft Plugins
Mozilla blocked 2 Microsoft-made plugins that had put Firefox users at risk from attack as Firefox people says.
The two-part Microsoft components are, an add-on named “.NET Framework Assistant” and a plug-in named “Windows Presentation Foundation” — have been blocked by Mozilla as a precautionary measure, said Mike Shaver, the company’s head of engineering.
“Because of the difficulties some users have had entirely removing the add-on, and because of the severity of the risk it represents if not disabled, we contacted Microsoft today to indicate that we were looking to disable the extension and plug-in for all users via our blocklisting mechanism,”
Shaver said in an announcement posted Friday night to the company’s security blog.
The Firefox will show a prompt for the confirmation about this blocking when users start the firefox.
Mozilla maintains an add-on/plug-in blocking list that automatically bars risky software from being used by Firefox. The open-source company first used the blocker in 2007. Mozilla has used the tool only nine times, including Friday’s blocking of the Microsoft add-on and plug-in.
And by the Way we dont have to worry about anything. At least we are safe. thanks to FireFox. 
So do you think there was a real problem or are Firefox starting to play games with Microsoft? I’m guessing it was real.
i dont know whether its real pblm or not, in both cases i think, it will be us who will be getting the best part.at least these products will be better in the quality!!!
