Firefox

[Guest TR]

Hi all,

 

I am running a W2K3 terminal server with IE7. It turns out that one web

based application from one of our clients does not support IE7 and will only

work with Firefox. Does anyone have any experience installing the Firefox

browser and locking it down on a W2K3 Terminal server and can I run both

browsers for the terminal clients on the server?

 

Thanks

I have successfully installed Firefox on a Windows 2003 Terminal

Services box (alongside IE6 & then IE7). We only needed it for a couple

of specific purposes and did not go to any effort to lockdown so I have

no experience of that aspect. No problems at all running either or both

anyhow.

Hello All,

 

We are running FireFox 2 on our Term Servers successfully. But I will warn

you that it greatly increases the foot print of each users Profile and grows

significantly over time. I regret putting it on to begin with due to the how

it handles asp and have seen it multiply our help desk calls for web apps

written to IE only.
