I know this is kind of old news, but I missed it somehow. I haven’t played
with it yet. I just downloaded the new Firefox 2.0.0.1 release, so I will
download the add-on and see how it works.

Windows CardSpace gets
Firefox support<cite>Posted by Mary Jo Foley @ 10:56 am</cite>
<cite>Categories: Vista,

Windows client, Windows server, Windows XP, Security, Internet Explorer</cite>A new plug-in providing Firefox support for Microsoft’s CardSpace
digital-identity framework is now available for public download.Solution architect Kevin Miller, who played an instrumental role in
developing the technology, announced the
availability of his Firefox add-on for Windows via his blog.Why is Firefox support important? Until there is more third-party support for
Microsoft’s CardSpace, it will be slow to gain traction. But until CardSpace
gains more traction, developers will be reluctant to build applications that
make use of it. CardSpace, the technology formerly known as InfoCard, is a key
piece of Microsoft’s proposed Internet-wide identity
metasystem.

Well….I installed the add-on, no problem, I tried to login at xmldap and boom, Firefox quit working. So I started over and now Firefox doesn’t even let me click on the Cardspace graphic. So I jumped over to Kim’s identity blog, same problem. I will keep trying to make things work but I am disappointed to say the least.
