IBM Backs Firefox In-House

Posted by Zonk on from the adopt-a-fox dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in with the link to a CNet story describing IBM's adoption of the Firefox browser for internal use. From the article: "Firefox is already used by about 10 percent of IBM's staff, or about 30,000 people. Starting this past Friday, IBM workers could download the browser from internal servers and get support from the company's help desk staff. IBM's commitment to Firefox is among its most prominent votes of confidence from a large corporation."

    I work at a major investment bank and just yesterday they decided to send a memo around saying that Firefox is not to be used. I wonder why that was? No, really does anyone have any suggestions.

    As an IBM employee, I was shocked how virtually every internal app worked with Firefox right from the get go.

    That's when I knew this browser was for real in terms of being an IE replacement.
