Mozilla Flips Kill-Switch On Skype Toolbar
An anonymous reader writes "Whenever Skype is installed or updated, it automatically installs the Skype Toolbar add-on for Firefox. Unfortunately, the add-on causes serious performance problems, slowing down some operations by a factor of 300 and is one of the top causes for Firefox crashes. As a result, Mozilla has decided to 'soft-block' the add-on, effectively killing it on all Firefox installs unless the user intentionally re-enables it. Given the extreme popularity of Skype, this has ramifications for millions of users."
And here comes the endless 500 post thread on how shouldn't allow to install without . This then ends up becoming a debate on operating system security and rights management and 100 other completely unrelated topics. Oh, and vi is better.
Note to self: Stop putting jokes in my insightful comments so I can get something other than +1 Funny!
It's code like yours which makes for buggy toolbars. You're missing the /rant tag for your /endrant.
You're wrong -- toolbars are awesome...
