Good point. We have both Firefox and IE on our workstations. Many of our staff have turned to Firefox because Skyward seems to run significantly better on Firefox than on IE8. However as pointed out we still must use IE for a lot of other things such as our trouble ticket system, OWA (2007 version), and a handful of other apps that were written on the .NET and other MS-specific platforms.

That being said, most sites do a good job of rendering content with Firefox, and it’s only a select few who build sites with Microsoft tools and never check to see if it will work in another browser that are an issue.

I have a solution to a problem that may involve deploying FireFox because it seems to have fewer glitches in running the sites they need to run. Are there security concerns in installing Firefox for all users? Scott *** This Email was sent by an educator at Mendota IL.
