  Warning: Microsoft silently installing firefox extension

I found this article after searching on the subject of an extension that had
appeared in my Vista firefox install - one that I had not installed, nor been
asked permission to install. I checked my work PC (XP) and it, also, had the
extension. I'm surprised there's not more fireworks going off about this, as
it's precisely the sort of thing that makes IE so much of a trundling disaster
waiting for a place to happen.

Bonus: the extension installed by Microsoft has the 'uninstall' option disabled.
