CNET: IBM backs Firefox in-house

A lot of Firefox related stuff this week! in this post, Ed Brillrefers to a CNET Article

Firefox is already used by about 10 percent of IBM's staff, or about 30,000 people. Starting Friday, IBM workers can download the browser from internal servers and get support from the company's help desk staff.

IBM's commitment to Firefox is among its most prominent votes of confidence from a large corporation. Based on development work by the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation, Firefox has been downloaded by more than 50 million people since it debuted in November. Internet Explorer still dominates the overall market by far, though, with Firefox's share in the single digits.

This can only be a good thing. Although Domino Web Access support was improved greatly in 6.5.3 (Ie, it actually runs now), there is still a way to go. I've read a few recent patch notes about improving the Firefox support for various web templates which is all good to see. The more people using it internally in IBM then the faster they'll get the rest of the templates bought into line.
