Downloading any application from the internet is against Orange policy. There is NO support for Firefox in the operational environment. Orange Web applications are all designed to run on IE6 and therefore there is a likelihood that functionality will be impaired on Firefox. " Now that makes me wonder WHY staff are being given rights to install anything anyway, surely they would lock down the desktop to stop things like this. Thinking about it a bit further though, surely that could be discriminative, for instance if a member of staff has some sort of diability which requires additional software which requires say, IE 7 for instance then surely they would have to cater for this. Sounds to me like bloody lazy developers. It kind of reminds me of a client who does a lot of stuff through a bespoke web interface, they are tied to IE (currently 7) due to the fact that the web developers (who write commercial web sites) couldn't make their site entirely compliant with Firefox. I won't name any names as I don't want to breach my client's trust but again, I do think they should be writing standards complaint web apps.
