I had a question in the last blog
Why remove Firefox?

A logon script could set IE as the default and you can remove Firefox's checking as default browser.

Even add Opera to the mix.

You apps get the default IE that they need and students still have access to alternatives if they want.

If, Firefox is causing crashes or leaving running processes then I can understand the uninstall. I haven't experienced that myself but I could just be lucky. However, ironically enough I have experienced that with Outlook 2002. Outlook 2003 and higher seem to work better.
