Vulnerabilities, IE's lack of features, IE is bloated and is slow.

On my personal systems I use both.

I'm just curious why your organizations choose to deploy one of those
browsers instead of IE. My guess would be to avoid the vulnerabilities
in IE. Can anyone tell me?

Thanks,

I have firefox 0.9.3 running as a published app to my published
desktop.  I loaded 1.0PR on my test server last night and tested it
today.  I am putting it lve tonight on my main servers.

You can set things for users in a couple of ways.  there are a coupld
of js files that hold everyhting.  One is in with the install
directory and one is created per user in their application data
folder.  The one in the install directory is the base for what creates
for the user so if you edit that, the user gets those settings.

Beyond that, you would need to do some clever scripting to either move
or edit the users preference file directly.  Not impossible but
somehting i have been too lazy to do myself.

Hello,
I was curious to see if anyone has deployed Firefox or Mozilla as a
browser either published or with a published desktop.  If so is it
possible and or easy to customize settings for groups of users?  Any
info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Leon
