Ok, so due to some weird security setting I wasn't able to use an online conferencing tool from work on my home box, so I went ahead and reset "Internet Explorer" settings to their default. Did you know that the "default Internet Explorer Settings" include removing Start Menu links to the Firefox executable, replacing them with Internet Explorer in the pinned section, and just removing them in general in Firefox's own folder so it looks like a bad install?
Luckily, since they only "pretended" to uninstall Firefox, aka make it completely unavailable to a normal end user, I was able to get all my bookmarks back. The arrogance of those bastards is utterly astounding.

What settings changes had you made prior to resetting to default? I'm curious if I can replicate this and then get it on CNET since, if correct, this is blatant violation of the DoJ settlement.
I don't recall exactly and don't have the environment to recreate the active-x situation without the other people from inside Oracle. But it steameth me.
