A war has been raging between different web browsers for a long time now.

The two main combatants in the battle are Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Firefox from Mozilla. Microsoft is still in the lead in marketshare with IE, but Firefox is grabbing up a large portion of the market for itself.

Firefox hit the one billion download mark in August and has 32% of the browser market while IE holds about 60% of the market.

Mozilla and Microsoft are working together on a security flaw in some Microsoft add-ons that affects Firefox users. Mozilla reports that it has blocked two Microsoft add-ons installed silently for computers running the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. The add-ons that Mozilla is blocking are the .NET Framework Assistant and Windows Presentation Foundation component because of a vulnerability that the add-ons allow for Firefox.
