I sent an e-mail to the IT gurus at MDH earlier today, and it turns out that the Head of Development already uses Firefox as his default browser. However, he mentioned the lack of roaming support as the main reason that neither Mozilla nor Firefox is installed on the computers. He referred to the bugs 31732 and 97180. I made some research and it seems that Mozilla now supports Netscape 4.x-like roaming according to bug 124026. Does this also work for Firefox?
Anyway, he said that when Firefox reaches version 1.0, he will attempt to install it at the university, provided there's an easy way to manage the profiles. That would rock! :) I will be sure to contact him again when 1.0 is out.
Posted by djst at September 3, 2004 11:29 PMWhat about turning the table. They like Firefox (Head of Development uses it), Firefox = open source, open source = community collaboration.
So maybe if the "Head of Development" could allocate some of his precious working force to collaborate with mozilla in implementing the missing links (As a little side project to kill time or whatever) we would get there sooner and they have a good fealing, you have a good fealing and we all have a good fealing.
Sign, well it doesn't hurt to dream ;)...

I remembered seing this on Gemal.dk a few days ago:
Using Roaming

Roaming is only on trunk. Would be nice to have it in FF1.0, but I doubt it will be there.
