Paranoia

How did this happen?

Today I downloaded and installed Mozilla Firefox 3.0. Mozilla had been nagging me for some time to do this, so I finally figured that today I had time, and I went ahead with it. I have been a Firefox user for a few years and have had zero trouble with it.

As I was messing around with it late this evening I found that the homepage icon on the toolbar was connected to "My Barack Obama.com". Imagine my disgust. I have NEVER visited this site in my life, and I certainly did not choose this as my homepage. I can only conclude that it came pre-loaded as the default homepage. Has anyone else had this somewhat shocking experience? Is this SOP for the Mozilla products?

A practical joker deserves applause for his wit according to its quality. Bastinado is about right. For exceptional wit one might grant keelhauling. But staking out on an anthill should be reserved for the very wittiest. - Robert Heinlein

I will inform the witty one.

So you and Robert Heinlein don’t think that having his weiner fall off from an African curse is punishment enough?
