The beginning of dominance of Mozilla Firefox in the corporate market seems inevitable!!!
The developers of the Firefox web browsing software application are coming up with solutions from their end to help the corporate organizations avoid the complications that they fear in the switch to the Firefox web browser. It is the fear of complications that is preventing the corporate end users from switching to the Firefox web browsing software application. The Firefox web browsing software application has effectively ended the domination of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer in the personal end user market. That is to say, no longer does the individual end user of the web browsing software applications consider Microsoft’s Internet Explorer as the sole web browsing software application. The success of the Firefox web browsing software application has resulted in the end users realizing that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is not the only web browsing software application around. Hence, web browsing software application end users have realized that a web browser is a web browser and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are two types of web browsers. The fact that the supporters of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer crowed about the success of version 7.0 clearly indicates that Internet Explorer is resigned to the fact that its dominance is over. Now, the scenario is such that it shall succeed in capturing the market only if the end users are satisfied with the features it offers. As far as the personal market is concerned, the end user has become the king and web browsing software applications are the slaves serving the king.
However in case of the corporate environment, web browsing software applications continue to remain the king. The revolution that took place in the personal end user market after the release of Firefox version 1.0 has not taken place in the corporate environment. Even today, the corporate environment works and functions with the mindset that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is the only web browsing software application worth considering. Needless to say, such an approach is not advisable at all. It is due to this approach that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is being targeted by hackers and persons with malicious intent again and again. Hence, if you want to avoid the security flaws in the Internet Explorer web browsing software application and if you do not want to become a target for hackers and persons with malicious intent, the smartest thing to do would be to get used to the idea of switching to the Firefox web browsing software application.
The Firefox web browsing software application too has not made it very easy for the corporate end users to switch over to the Firefox web browser. There is no MSI installer for the Firefox web browsing software application available. That is to say, if any organization has a hundred computers and wants to install the Firefox web browsing software application on its computers, it will have to perform the individual installation in the computers. In case of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, all the IT department expert has to do is install Internet Explorer in one mother computer and all the remaining computers shall be configured accordingly.
This feature is to be introduced in the version 3.0 of Mozilla Firefox. Once this feature is incorporated, the last argument that the corporate organizations have against the Firefox web browsing software application too would seized to exist. Hence, the release of Firefox version 3.0 is awaited by the supporters of the Firefox web browsing software application. If the Firefox web browser succeeds in ending the dominance of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer in the corporate market just as it did in the personal end user market, there will be no stopping the Firefox web browsing software application.
