Is Microsoft trying to make Mozilla users frustrated?
When I say Mozilla, I meant all their products. Here's my story (and problem)

Our company has made an interactive CD/DVD for our clients. This is made in Macromedia Flash. One of the areas of the disc needs to use a browser to view it's flash animation. In IE 7 (Vista machine) it keeps asking to allow activex controls. I have tried to change the security features but to no avail. It also asks about javascript, and I did not see anything in the Internet tab of Options about Javascript (did MS take it out of there?). So I tried Firefox. That seemed to work OK. But the problem I have is that the CD is meant use the default browser (firefox) but IE7 is being a big baby and won't share. (IE is coming up instead of default browser).

As to the other Mozilla program, that's Thunderbird on Vista. Without fail TB will always ask to be the default email client, and no matter what I choose, it always come up. I did some digging and it looks like Defender is blocking the change, even though I have put Permitted for the change.

Is MS being a big baby here? or is Vista made to be a complete annoying OS?

No problems on my Vista with TB and FF persisting as the defaults without nagging.
