Re: Wow! Mozilla distributing infected code!

I guess nobody reads links these days. Vietnamese language pack is an addon and doesn't ship with the browser.

Micro$oft ships far worse, hActiveX comes to mind.

That it doesn't ship with the product doesn't mean that the vendor doesn't provide it

ActiveX isn't a thing that ships, it's an interface that everybody uses to create browser extensions. Blaming ActiveX is like holding an operating system liable because they provide a way to delete a file.

I thought with IE and Temporary Internet Files, everyone blamed the operating system for not providing a way to delete a file?
