Firefox is good for home users and IE is for Enterprise

by Pisapatis7 Oct 26, 2006 11:13PM PDT

Many applications in enterprise computing are not comfortable with firefox as the applications are based on integrated windows authentication. For me Firefox looks like a light-weight browser and is ideal for Home users.

Ditto. Firefox is also a more manageable app.

You don't need to reboot when you update.

And, if registering extensions at start is fixed, then even that may be better. Learned the hard way that IE7 add-ons are not to be trusted without a restart of IE.

Can you provide some examples of those applications
by EZRIDER714 Oct 28, 2006 10:47AM PDT

Have been using Firefox at work for 2yrs with applications such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, AutoCad 2000i, 2004LT, 2005LT, Inventor9 &10, Web2Cad, Adobe Acrobat, and several more that I can't recall off the top of my head. Have not had any issues what so ever. In fact our computer troubles have diminished dramaticaly since dropping IE and OE, for Firefox and Thunderbird
