Mozilla blocks, then unblocks Microsoft add-ons

Susan Bradley

By Susan Bradley

Two Microsoft add-ons for the Mozilla Firefox browser — .NET Framework Assistant and Windows Presentation Foundation — were temporarily blocked this week by Firefox staff because of vulnerabilities announced by the Redmond company on Oct. 13.

Firefox experts may allow the use of both add-ons by the time you read this, but for safety's sake, users of all browsers should apply the Microsoft patch immediately.
