Firefox on Public Computers
Brian Herzog writes an interesting piece about how his library switched the browser on their public computers to Firefox.
My library is in the process of re-doing all of our public computers. One major change we’re making is to switch to Firefox for our web browser, instead of the Internet Explorer/Public Web Browser combo we’ve always used.
The reason we’re switching is a simple one - Firefox is just cooler. It lets us have more control over how the browser functions, and lets us offer more tools integrated right into the browser. Better for us, better for patrons.
This is a great guide if you’re considering switching over your public computers to an open source alternative. He lists the add ons they used, settings and customizations. If you’re thinking about making the switch, give his post a look.
