i dont know, all i know is that i installed it and no pages would load.

 

[akubi]

you need to copy over the proxy settings from IE

 

[mzkhadir]

pretty simple, they have spent money researching and using IE for a long time and they need to make sure that the business apps that work in IE will work in Firefox, if they don't then the company will lose money because of less productivity.

Probably not going to happen. FF is nice and all, but it lacks centralized updates (like SUS/WUS) so many companies block it.

Less exploits (over time an unpatched FF install will have lots of exploits vs a frequently patch IE install) > popups.

Is there proxy setup involved, also are you doing any operations that involves using secure certificates?

That's probably it...

Once you have it installed, I don't see how they can block access from FireFox but not IE...

In IE, go to:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings

and see if there is a proxy script or server info on that page. If so, put that same information in FireFox:

Tools -> Options -> General -> Connection Settings

Enjoy teh intarweb!

Because it's a relative unknown from a small vendor and, though the geeks would argue otherwise, it's a noob application. IE owns it.

Darn, they had you change proxy :evil:

I'm crossing fingers and praying non-stop in the hopes that that was sh!tty sarcasm.
