Mozilla offers build your own browser plan to IT departments

Mozilla will allow companies to build their own customised browsers based on the next version of Firefox, which will be out this month.

Through the programme, which will start sometime soon after Firefox 3.5 is released at the end of June, companies can use a Web application provided by Mozilla to specify certain customisations for the browser -- such as bookmarks to certain sites or corporate intranets or portals, he said.

Companies also can brand the browser through technology called Personas that allows them to code a skin across the top of the browser with a company's logo on it, Beltzner said. Once the custom browser is developed, the application then will send it to the company and give it an installation programme that makes it possible to install the browser across all desktops in the company, Beltzner added.L33tdawg: Kick ass!!!
