Can't see that happening.  Mozilla is too big to be brushed aside now.  If M$ do try it, there will bound to be ways round it popping up.

Indeed. They did that once and they will do it again.

This is a repeat of 1998 when M$ banned Netscape.  I wish I could remember what the outcome of that was?   :dunno:

Netscape sunk, and was taken over by Mozilla.
