"While other browsers have come and gone, Firefox is now the gold standard for what an open, secure, and standards-compliant browser should be."

Bah. HP have supported Firefox for ages. Using it on HP internal machines is just as easy as using IE.

So will they be using de old gecko 1.x or the new 2.0 found in the unreleased 4.0? They won't use "beta" software in production (unles they're the ones producing it :P), but then again Mozilla isn't know for supporting old browsers for very long.

When I worked there I ran the latest version and updated regularly.
