Testing, deploying, and supporting new software costs money. There's no way around it and it's not directly related to the expense of the software licenses required.
- JBiserkov 17y ago+ IE can be managed via Group policy => tweak once, deploy to all. This could be possible with Firefox too(I don't know), but I would require a specific tool to be developed, tested (by Mozilla for example) and LEARNED by the admins. The tool itself needs to be deployed...

- wyday 17y agoRight, and that's the entire point of the "expense questions" the reps are talking about. They now not only have to vet Firefox, they also have to find a 3rd party tool to vet & buy. Plus the cost of training IT people to install Firefox across thousands of computers (you didn't think they'd install it one-by-one did you?). Etc, etc.
- karanbhangui 17y agoThe university I attend uses frontmotion. It's great.
- bradgessler 17y agoAwesome project; but the presentation of this as a solution to big organizations/companies is lacking, or to put it more bluntly, their website sucks. It would be great if the Mozilla Foundation would host this project and make it more presentable.
- vdm 17y agoAgreed; Firefox needs to have this out of the box, for free, to compete with IE in corporate IT.
