I am an avid Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, and Galeon user but I am plagued by one particular issue within the organization that I do security work for: browser policy management. This is precisely one of the things that has kept us tied down to IE for so long.

It's shameful that even our management knows how riddled with holes Internet Explorer is (and subsequently products that use IE components), yet we're stuck with it only because of the ability to control browser policies, configuration, etc. en masse.

I would absolutely love to see some sort of policy/configuration management utility for Mozilla (I'm not aware of one). And mucking with configuration files and registry entries through a hacked-up script is not really an option.

Cheers.
