[Publib] Firefox web browser

[Joshua Neff]

I only use Firefox on my home computers. At work, I use Firefox exclusively,
except when it comes to accessing anything on our intranet, because our
intranet doesn't work in Firefox. On our patron computers, we only have IE
installed. I've promoted Firefox at work, because I really think it's a
superior, more secure browser, but when it comes to software on our
computers at work, MPOW favors Microsoft products.

Why do I prefer Firefox? Besides the fact that I think it just looks better
and functions better than IE, and is generally more secure, I like that it's
free, that every update for it is free, that Mozilla is transparent about
how it works (Is there a security bug in FF? Mozilla will let it be known
ASAP and will release a free bug fix ASAP.), that it is incredibly and
easily customizable and hackable, and that anyone can develop and release
extensions and themes for it.

I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences using the Firefox
web browser. Is anyone using it as the principle browser for their patrons
to access the Internet? If yes, have your patrons expressed any opinions
about it? Do they prefer it to MS Internet Explorer? 

Thanks,
