(Phys.org)—Mozilla this week took an important step to strengthening and in some cases restoring confidence in Firefox as a class-act browser.

"Mozilla has decided that it's time to take things to the next level by disabling as many automatic plug-in activations as possible," he said, in a January 29 post.
