The trouble with firefox 3...

F

fb

"At any rate, my biggest concern with a Firefox 3 deployment is
enterprise-grade patching. IE is ages ahead of everyone in this regard.

"That is the main reason my company hasn't migrated."

"even the smallest of companies want to be able to control users'
browsers via policy objects which IE provides for nicely. So in addition
to being integrated to patch management, policy based control is why IE
remains the only real choice for businesses of any size. Until FF/Saf
address these issues, end user oriented features will matter very little."

"there is an ability to "package" FF for installation, unfortunately
this is not the same situation as group policies controlling IE. If
Mozilla/Google want businesses to truly accept FF, they will have to
support GPOs and AD."

"I downloaded FF3... installed it and the importing wizard crashed the
PC I was trying it on. After 30 minutes of use, I've reverted to IE7.
For me, FF3 was using MORE RAM than IE7."

I have no trouble using FF3 and Opera is even better,I like them both for
their speed and the looks. The defunct browser in my machine is...yes you
guessed it right,IE7. The damn thing is like a lame duck even after
installing IE7Pro addon.

You must realize that "fb", aka Frank the Wank, is against Open Source
except when he uses a very old Mozilla newsreader. Hypocrisy is Frank's
middle name.
