It may be several years late, but Microsoft has finally decided to acknowledge two things.

First, that Firefox does, in fact, exist.

Second, that not having an official Live Search plugin for it was just plain stupid.

Just days ago, the addon appeared on the Mozilla repository. With all the talk recently about the strained relationship between between Mozilla and Google since Chrome's release, the move by Microsoft certainly isn't an unexpected one.

With about 260 installs since its release, Firefox users don't appear in a hurry to install Live Search.

Surprising? No, not really.

I think It's safe to say that most Firefox users either prefer Google, strongly dislike Microsoft, or a combination of the two.
