Apple Takes a Page From Microsoft

Posted on May 4, 2005

Well, this sucks… turns out that when Apple users who have Firefox set as their default browser update to Tiger (the recently released new version of OS X), the update process changes the default to Apple’s browser, Safari.

If a Windows service pack removed Firefox as the default and replaced it with IE, you’d hear the howls from sea to shining sea. It’ll be interesting to see if Apple gets a pass for the same behavior.
