Does Your School Use Firefox?


Recommended Posts

It is only installed on one of the five computer rooms at my school.

I'm the Assistant Web Page Coordinator ... so I installed it somewhere in the Intranet folder. The teachers found out and deleted my 'stash'. Dang!

I go to the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario, Canada

there are a ton of computers on campus here, most of the general-access ones just use Win2000 with IE. there are some underpowered old ones running like IE 4 and/or Netscape Navigator

the spiffy new computers (which are all fancy HP ones with 18" LCDs on em, and there are hundreds of these babies), have dual boot Win2000 and Red Hat 9. the redhats use Mozilla. customizations to your linux/mozilla profile are stored on your login account

SP2 IE 6... With, for some reason, Google image search and anything with the word "videogame" blocked. Oddly enough, they do not block any other search engine or a site with an illegal download of Age of Mythology. Hmmm....

Yay for porta-firefox!

Our Network Admin is debating on installing it. She probably will if she finds the time. Until then she said I could use Portable Firefox as long as nobody knew what I was doing, since they are having problems with kids bringing .exes from thumbdrives and installing stuff. Yes, I know you dont have to install Portable Firefox on the computer to use it, but other kids may not know.

I too go to the University of Guelph!! :woot: Haven't you see the library? Every computer in there has been upgraded to WinXP SP2 with Firefox installed as well. I assume that they did this over the summer. IE is still there, but you have the option of running Firefox. As well, the computers in Thornborough (with the dual boot machines) allow you to install Firefox if you log into a linux account. The Win2000 accounts are too restricted and only supply you with IE or Mozilla (as you said)!
