Beware the uninstall. I had to reset the file extension associations through an 
entire cad department. They all decided that FireFox was the thing then decided 
that they didn't like, all in mass. It left a big mess behind.

Subject: [isalist] Firefox is a slow pig

http://www.ISAserver.org

Hey guys,

OK, I finally gave in an downloaded Firefox to see what the hubbub was
about. I configured it to use the autoconfig script and it appears to
actually understand it, as it is working as a Web proxy client based on
observing the real time logging on the ISA firewall.

However, compared to IE, the thing is a slow pig! I noticed that there
wasn't an option to configure it to use HTTP 1.1 through proxy
connections. Anyone know if this is a default setting, not a default
setting, or something I have to spend hours on open sources sites trying
to find the answer to after being pummeled with RTFM responses?

Thanks!
