Research project funded by DARPA.

Microsoft has ALREADY released a fix, so mozilla's blocking it doesn't force them to do anything. Also, mozilla asked microsoft if blocking it would be a good idea, microsoft said _yes_, and mozilla blocked it. All this I learned from looking at the links in the summary. Hmm, actually RTFA has some advantages.
