Using Firefox in public libraries - why you should

It never fails to amaze me that people generally are just not using Firefox, when it's so superior to the lumbering beast that is IE. There's an excellent article from the 'Swiss Army Librarian' Using Firefox On Our Public Computers. It gives them more control over the browser, it's easier to use, it's more helpful for searchers, it's more secure and.. it's just better! If you're considering your browsing options in your library I'd strongly recommend reading this short article.

I was told by our IT department (who are in most other ways very fab) that they would NOT be happy if they found I was using Firefox. I know not why.

So I'm naughty, and keep using Firefox. Oopsie.

I completely agree with you that Firefox is so superior to IE, that it is utterly puzzling why more folks don't use it. It's really incomprehensible to me.
