Trusting Firefox

Nice blog entry today over at msdn.

It describes his experience installing Firefox. Unsigned software. Download redirects to unknown sites. Installation that does not finish.

Whereas XPsp2 does a good job of trying to stop users from running every damn thing a website asks them to, Firefox is back in the old mode of do you want to run install program x. Sure why not.
