Looks like we won’t be using Firefox at work, despite how it now does
seamless authentication and everything. You see, one of our business
critical applications has a web client, which all the staff will be
using. And (go on! go on! guess!)…that client only works in Internet
Explorer. It totally, totally does not work in Firefox. It uses
IE-specific HTML. IE-specific JavaScript.
There’s not a chance it’ll work in Firefox. Great.
What’s the fucking point in writing a web client if it only works in
one browser?
This is what vendor lock-in means. All hail the mighty Microsoft.
The stupid thermal coffee mug the company has sent me does not make up
for this.
No Firefox at work
