And this argument really does not hold water. Unless I'm missing something, the extension deployment system in IE7 is nearly identical to Firefox, so I think the realistic reason firefox does not fair well in the enterprise is because it lacks support for activex sites (among other things microsoftish), and many businesses contract out internal web application development to.. cheap activex sites.


Really? Last I checked activex was used pretty much exclusively for virus transfer (oh, and the windows flash plugin).
