[OPLINTECH] Secure Opera and Firefox

[Matt Hoffman]

Steve,
 
There is information on Active Directory deployable Firefox and ADM
files for Group Policy control here:  
http://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox/fmfirefox.htm.
 
Note that I have not used nor tested this.  I've been planning to do so,
but have not had the time.
 
If you do try it, I would be very interested in the results!

	We leave them open and use Altiris protect on our systems. (sort
of like goback) A logoff and back in resets the browser settings to the
profile that we initially set up.

	Gurus...
	 
	How secure are your "alternate" browsers and open-source
applications?
	 
	We're running Opera and Firefox (in addition to IE) on our
public computers and would like to make them more secure.  Has anyone
used a lock down tool?  How do you manage the security for these
applications at your library?
	 
	Thanks!
