and I love the way you can use it in BOTH linux and windows.

I would however like to be able to install it silently in Windows via sms or such, has anyone done this and if so how ?

cheers

Don't know about SMS but you can use Group Policies in Active Directory to push it out to any machines on the domain. You just need to get hold of an MSI versino of Firefox. I use the onws from https://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox which are usually fiarly up to date, Thunderbird MSIs are a different matter, I haven't seen a Thunderbird 2 MSI yet.

>Firefox is great !
Compared to what?
Some FF problems (on Windows):
-There are websites where closing a tabulation takes about 10s with Firefox, but is instantaneous with Opera.
-Opening a new tabulation with FF sometimes makes the whole window non-responsive.
-FF tend to become slower and slower over the time so I restart it from time to time (without any extension loaded).
-FF memorise now your opened tabulations, but if you have several window, it's quite likely that you'll loose the tabulations from one window.

FF is a good browser yes, but great?
Definitely no!
