Besides this being old news, yes let's all hate on Microsoft for them writing actual code and adding ClickOnce deployment support to Firefox.
I agree the lack of an uninstall option is silly, but calling this a "rougue Firefox extension" just makes you look like an asshat.
- huhtenberg 17y agoWell, sure. Next time when they silently install, say, an MP3 blocker in your Firefox, let's also applaud all the troubles they went through coding it. Just in case if it's not clear - what makes it a rogue extension is the fact that it was installed silently.
- trezor 17y agoNext time when they silently install, say, an MP3 blocker in your Firefox Protip: If you want to be taken seriously, omit bullshit like this the next time you make a comment. Just in case if it's not clear - what makes it a rogue extension is the fact that it was installed silently. So basically just like any Adobe product ever. Gotcha.
- DougBTX 17y agoExactly. It even installs using a documented (by Mozilla) API, hardly rouge. Nor it is hidden or activley malicios. It also happens to be far more secure than IE's ancient ActiveX support.
