AOL is attempting to force users to use their toolbar and not Firefox's and sports a Firefox logo along with an "update" button on the main page. Screen shots.

I use Firefox and access my AOL from there. When I get to the AOL homepage, before logging in to email, as of yesterday there was a banner across the top with the Firefox Logo saying to click here to download the new AOL/Firefox upgrade.

When I clicked, it went to "exe.aol/toolbar" and supposedly an AOL webpage to download their toolbar.

Sounds like AOL is fraudulently using Firefox's name in order to get people to download an AOL toolbar.
