Mozilla To Launch "Build Your Own Browser"

Posted by kdawson on from the have-it-your-way dept.

angry tapir sends in a piece from Down Under which begins "Mozilla is readying a program that will allow companies to build their own customized browsers based on the next version of Firefox, which will be out in a few weeks. ... Through the Build Your Own Browser program, which will start sometime soon after Firefox 3.5 is released at the end of June, companies can use a Web application provided by Mozilla to specify certain customizations for the browser, such as bookmarks to certain sites or corporate intranets or portals. ... The bulk of enterprises still use Internet Explorer if they mandate a browser for company use, because Microsoft provides provisioning and installation software for IE that makes it easy for enterprises to control browser settings and install across all corporate desktops, said Forrester analyst Sheri McLeish. Mozilla has not historically done this, but something like the Build Your Own Browser program is a good start to encourage enterprises to use Firefox over IE."

    Call me when I can watch the Red Sox games in Firefox using Flash on WinXP, or Firefox using Flash on OSX. Until then I need IE.

      Flamebait. Flash works fine in Firefox on XP. I know it's en vogue to run noscript on Firefox, that's why you have to click that button in the lower right-hand corner to get Flash to work.

      Are you expecting +5 because your username implies that you have a vagina between your legs? Lay off the H.I.M. and My Chemical Romance and listen to some real music, tart!

      Oh shit, I've been troll'd again :(

      Silly troll.

      Black women can't be goths.

      They only listen to gangsta rap.

      The best thing about this thread is that, if GayDawson didn't become personally involved, some idiot bitch just wasted 4, probably 5, points on this thread!

      Now everybody bow down,
      pucker up their lips,
      just like a fish,
      and SUCK THIS DICK!

      p.s. I got some pussy yesterday. Enjoy your Nintendo DS'es, motherfuckers!

    Sigh. Clearly, you are a moron and talking to you anymore would be a waste of my time. Tip for ya: leave security to the people with a clue.

    Too bad it's not good to see faggots like you and the parent, hijack every firefox thread to advertise opera. PROTIP: No one gives a shit about opera and what they did first.
