What Corporate Buyers Need To Know About Firefox 1.0

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Firefox 1.0, the heir to the Mozilla and Netscape thrones, has dazzled the media and captured the hearts of users pining for a real, usable alternative to Internet Explorer. Behind the hype, the new browser actually does provide some tangible benefits over Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE). But Firefox's much-lauded advantages in security and stability are largely just temporary effects — widespread usage will bring the same scrutiny and attacks that uncover problems with IE. The best advice for now: Experiment with the new browser as a complement to IE within the enterprise and re-code all external-facing Web content to work with Firefox.
