Asa Dotzler.

Is that a name from Monty Pythons?

It looks like there's more fun to come from Mozilla.

Mozilla: Not in the business of business



Er, aren't all those end users going to want to access online banks and other sites provided be enterprises?

I think the comment is in relation to not supporting old versions of the browser. It's typically enterprise users that are still on very old versions, causing endless headaches for web developers. IE6. Nuff said.

Blaming Internet Explorer 9 I see. I have noticed a few oddities in appearance on websites, boxes appearing around elements.

Which reminds me, I must check all our progs still work, when they did 8 I found all the pop up help boxes did not work properly.

Earlier, Mozilla's Asa Dotzler asserted that Firefox has never – and should never – care about enterprise customers on Firefox.

...

But Mozilla's man would not be moved. In a comment to Walicki's post, Dotzler said:

Mike, you do realize that we get about 2 million Firefox downloads per day from regular user types, right? Your 'big numbers' here are really just a drop in the bucket, fractions of fractions of a percent of our user base.

Enterprise has never been (and I'll argue, shouldn't be) a focus of ours. Until we run out of people who don't have sysadmins and enterprise deployment teams looking out for them, I can't imagine why we'd focus at all on the kinds of environments you care so much about.

I used to work for a financial who thought they were very clever who managed to out the servers for 3 days over an upgrade, the online model of internet banking was buggered after that for them as everyone just phoned up, nobody trusted the site and quite frankly I could not blame them.

PS Why so amused Kojak, do you do IT for Sainsburies?

I went down to Sainsbury's to buy a punnet of Sainsburies but they never had any.

The head of IT infrastructure is a friend of mine.

Maybe time for some gentle teasing texts

Oh yes, and tell him that you hope his warranty period is long enough and his Service Points are being taken away from the provider...

Tesco are heavily into Bob?

They have an office in Edinburgh, PM work basically and the dev all gets thrown offshore.

PPS Probably a DOS attack by ASDA.

No, just an ITSM bod who can imagine the incompetence that led to this and the subsequent headless chicken mode that those incompetents are now in.

I can confirm they are.
