Repeated it below, but whomever is freaking out on "were told that
Firefox is not suitable for business use." better sit down and realize
that they were likely told / ordered what they would say. MS "owns" most
of corporate America...period. And no, that's not a blanket
statement...the likes of Firefox scares MS corporate.
Firefox updates FAST, PROPERLY, SAFELY and can be set to automatically
update so fast -- on a decent speed machine, be it laptop or desktop,
that who the #*#* cares if Firefox updates once every two weeks, two
months, or two years?
Somebody is passing FUD around, likely a "competitor" or a frightened IT
admin. It doesn't matter if Firefox is used in a corporate, small
business, professional at home or "common every-day end-user" atmosphere.
Get a life, people !
BTW, Firefox RARELY -- almost almost-never -- updates every two weeks,
and that's a fact.

Interviewed by CNN on 05/08/2011 11:17, Bill Davidsen told the world:
Some commercial users have complained that they can't do a QA cycle that
often, and according to the reports were told that Firefox is not
suitable for business use. I can dig out the link for anyone who hasn't
learned to use a search engine, I saw it in either networkworld.com or
slashdot.
This guy at Ars Technica had a different spin on the issue:
http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2011/06/firefox-update-policy-the-enterprise-is-wrong-not-mozilla.ars/
Where we can read: "six week cycle is the goal."
Therefore the end-user MUST install a new version each six weeks.
He have other things to do ....
This is why he will decide: I will stay on my version for at least one
year ... i am not part of an SM testing group.
