Hi,

I'm in charge of deploying Firefox on the client computers in my company, and I discover the existence if the “FrontMotion Firefox Community Edition” which can be managed using GPO.

The problem is that we have very severe security standards, and we usually don’t use a software from an unknown company. So I would like to know if Mozilla know them well enough to be confident that they wouldn’t change or add some backdoor into the code, data collection processes or any other kind of unwanted and dangerous behavior. I wouldn’t even consider it if they didn’t make a very easy to manage version of Firefox (or if Firefox had a similar solution in their official version :-p)

I know that they are around for quite some time already, but we can never be too careful ;-).

Solução escolhida

FrontMotion has been building their Firefox "Community Edition" MSI version for as long as Firefox has been around. The simple fact that as a "Community Edition" they are allowed to use the Firefox trademarks (AFAIK, the only other "Community Edition" which is allowed to do that is Portable Apps - around as long as FrontMotion) - be assured that they wouldn't be modifying Firefox by adding malicious code and risk endangering their long standing relationship with Mozilla.

For enhanced security, you should not use software customized by other. Even, you should be careful about the source of your software.

Exactly, that's why i'm asking ;-)

In this case it's hard to do without it.
