Mozilla Foundation Seeking Switch Success Stories

maggeth writes "mozillaZine has a story about how the Mozilla Foundation is looking to know if any organizations have switched to Mozilla products. Is your organization among them?" Can anyone point out an example of a library system switching? Lots of public libraries use PCs set up as kiosks running a web interface to their catalogs, and they all seem to use IE -- so, no tabbed browsing.

Re:Tabbed Browsing for Libraries?

[timothy]

I like / want tabbed browsing for libraries because when searching for books, usually an initial phase of the search will get me to a list of books that might match, sometimes a long list.

With tabs, I can clickaclickaclicka load them up and then look at each entry separately. (So, when searching from home on my own computer, it's great :))

At the machines at the library itself, though, they use a different interface (wish they wouldn't), and kiosk / IE machines -- never mind tabs, you can't even start new browser instances, so you have to pursue each possibility on the list one at a time, click, then read, then click Back to try the next one.

That's why :)

standards compliance and reasonable security are great, but I might even prefer IE to Mozilla if the which-has-tabs situation were reversed. Well, and if IE ran on Linux without bothersome add-on software.
