ScrappleFace: New Microsoft Patch Blocks Firefox Downloads: "New Microsoft Patch Blocks Firefox Downloads
by Scott Ott

(2004-12-19) -- Microsoft Corp. today released a new security patch for its Internet Explorer (IE) web browser which prevents users from accidentally or intentionally downloading the new free, open-source Firefox browser from The Mozilla Foundation.
'Firefox is a dangerous and contagious browser that could seriously jeopardize marketshare,' said an unnamed Microsoft spokesman. 'Unless consumers take action to block Firefox, it could speed up web surfing and return control of user computers to the users themselves.'
The source added that Internet Explorer is a superior product because it allows computer experts, called 'hackers', to control your computer."
