Microsoft Update Quietly Installs Firefox Extension
Posted on | June 3, 2009 | View Comments
The whole reason I don’t use Internet Explorer except on rare occasions is that I don’t want website add-ons to automatically install without a little bit of fuss.

I disabled it until I absolutely see a reason that I need it–which is my normal policy with Firefox add-ons.
