	Quote: Many Firefox users have also protested add-ons Microsoft silently installed in the open-source browser on at least two separate occasions.

Well I can support it simply for teh fact that secret plugins are actually installed. It would help if you could then at a later date block or uninstall them altogether if you discover problems.
