    Those web startups I keep hearing about that somehow manage to target a large swath of browsers/versions must have tons of people working on the problem! Snark aside, I think the problem is most large corporations view internal development and network/systems administration as cost centers, and treat it accordingly. Then grouse and complain when things dont work, are fragile, or require additional expenditures to keep apace with more current technologies. Go figure.

  My issues supporting Firefox in a "corporate" environment (okay, it's Windows SBS with 12 clients -- small electrical contracting office) have nothing to do with internal Web apps. It has to do with the whacked out way Firefox works. In particular, their use of profiles is a nightmare for anyone that has multiple machines. For backup purposes and to make things easier for the employees, I have their application settings sync'd back to the server -- this way when they log on they have everything they need. This results in a file lock and Firefox creates a new profile. They lose their Firefox settings constantly. I really wish they'd bundle up an MSI installer as well, since that'd make upgrades & deployments much easier. Yes, this could be done outside the project, but it seems short-sighted to me.
