The Facebook Quicktime Virus

]]> I’ve written about my dislike of Apple software a variety of times before. You see my experience with dealing with and trying to remove Apple software has been more akin to the feelings I have when trying to get rid of malware or other unwanted software on computers. The challenge now is that I’ve gotten Apple off of my computer but now they’ve teamed with Facebook to get it back on my computer with Quicktime.

I’m not sure what bothers me more in this situation. I understand that Quicktime is a popular plug-in and many people have no problem with the application.

My bigger frustration is that I have to continually tell Facebook and my Firefox browser that I’m not interested in the plugin and I’m NOT GOING TO “Install Missing Plugins”.

Does anyone know if there’s some way to force the browser or Facebook to remember my preference here? I’d love to know if you do. It gets old continually trying to take care of this issue.
