Don't use FireFox on this intranet....
I have instructed my developers to code using proprietary IE extensions in order to maximimze the Windows eXPerience for my users. Launching Mozilla or Firefox results in several warnings about viruses and security holes and all but threatens the user with immediate termination. My rep and I discussed the details of this warning over a breakfast and then finalized it over dinner. It was signed off by myself and immediatley placed into production using Active Directory. Firefox is malware and is not even robust enough to have a version of 1.0. IE on the other hand is up to 6.1.4.56789234.23456777
