Still no official MSI package from Mozilla.Supposedly that feature has been dropped.=> Corps will NEVER want FF without an MSI.=> And Frontmotion (<a class="user" href="http://www.frontmotion.com/)">http://www.frontmotion.com/)</a> != Mozilla (It's a trust issue)Why MSI?-it's a corp standard.(STD switches, behavior, customizable without repackaging the original MSI)-It is designed from the ground up to run UNATTENDED regardless if it's an upgrade or a new install.BTW: GPOs are nice to have but not critical.
Another thing I've noticed is that Firefox 3 appears to be aware of anti-virus software... rather than just hanging up at the end of downloads while the AV software was checking them, it displays something like "Checking for viruses" before completing the download.

@Darkhacker:That's typical Opera user behavior. They just can't help themselves. They need to get help.
