Does your school computers use Firefox?

At my uni all of the CS lab computers are Fedora Core so it's only FF/Mozilla. The EE labs have some Sun machines with Mozilla, but mostly are Windows with Netscape & IE. Don't seem to have spyware problems with IE since our accounts are properly restricted.
 
In the CS lab we use Firefox/Opera/Konqueror, but then again we use Debian.

All the Windows boxes have IE and Netscape.
 
No, and I wish they at least have Firefox or even Opera

but I expect them to have after they do the annual software deployment cycle
 
Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools, in central Ohio, used to officially support IE, FireFox, and Netscape... I deployed it across all computers receiving updates from their servers, and the logs reflected that many, many students and staff started using it... especially web design classes. That is, until I resigned... now I hear they only support IE, and removed a lot of other useful things from the network. 😀
 
Yes, both IE 6.x and Firefox 1.0.3 at Ryerson University, at least in the computer science facilities.
 
In the ECC (Engineering Computing Center) all the machines on the Linux side of the lab run Firefox. On the Windows side they run both, (I think) but all the Windows machines are so locked down that you can't even right-click anything. (Seriously, they've disabled right-click context menus because of the possible security holes they open up)

And yes, it's literally "sides" of the lab. The two western rooms are full of Windows machines, the two eastern rooms are full of Fedora Core machines. East side hardly ever fills up either, which is good for me when I want to get online. I am losing faith in the next generation of engineers though.
