Mozilla Offers Alternative To OpenID 105
Orome1 writes "Mozilla has been working for a while now on a new browser-based system for identifying and authenticating users it calls BrowserID, but it's only this month that all of its sites have finally been outfitted with the technology. Mozilla aims for BrowserID to become a more secure alternative to OpenID, the decentralized authentication system offered to users of popular sites such as Google, Yahoo!, PayPal, MySpace and others."

You should be using Microsoft certified Passport/Windows Live ID for all your cloud authentication needs.

Oh I don't know, how about when Asa Hitler...sorry, Dotzler, declared that business users didn't matter and they changed the release schedules for Firefox even despite the public outcry against it?
How dare they not let users make marketing decisions for them!
In fact it was so publically derided that Mozilla have back-pedalled and announced an "LTS" version of Firefox specifically for that purpose.
How dare they.. uh.. listen to their users.. Wait what are we angry about again?
