Thankfully HMG are not the only people writing websites. Maybe the track is to get a definitive statement out of them as to why they will support nobody other than MS. Once you have this in writing, you then enclose it along with the latest figures on the use of Firefox in Europe (about 15-20% depending) and a complaint to your MP. You may also choose to copy in the author of the letter.

The good thing about paper is that it is legally harder for them to ignore.
