A couple of weeks ago on a web forum I frequent, one of the members
reported that a website the forum membership finds very useful suddenly
stopped working with Firefox (he uses Windows).  So, he sent feedback
to the webiste and actually received a phone call from the contracted
web developer.  The developer stated that only IE would be supported
and that the Mozilla browsers would specifically not be supported due
to "security issues", an argument I found absurd.

The thread ebbed and flowed until a few days ago.  Last night another
member made in interesting comment about the security issues of FF. 
This morning it hit me that he was refering to the development security
of FF which he alleged makes it inferior to IE with its OEM control.

So, is MS waging a whisper campaign against FF to web developers?  I
don't know.  But keep an ear out for that kind of catch phrase.  It
seems to have suddenly appeared in recent weeks.  It might be
interesting to learn more about where the allegations of FF "security
issues" are coming from.
