Firefox on public pcs

Brian Herzog over at the Swiss Army Librarian blog posted a list of the software that his library is loading onto the public access pcs now that they are going to be using firefox instead of IE.

Where I work we are currently 'stuck' using an organization wide SOE (Windows/IE/MS Office etc.) however looking at Brian's detailed list I'm trying some of the firefox add-ons I didn't know about. (at home of course!)

Being able to customise a lot of the browser features sounds like a good idea and one that we could use on our public machines (especially disabling the mailto: function)

Note to self: Is there a firefox add-on that would re-install the genealogy icons/cds when somebody deletes them?

Brian also has a good post about selling usb drives instead of floppy discs which is something we may need to think about soonish as I suspect the next gen work pcs will not have disc drives.
