I don't think that many of the staff or the public choose to use it, but it is there if they wish. I encourage our more tech savvy computer users to try it, since it is my choice of browser. We also use Star Office on our laptops, which cut our costs for the computers and let us offer both Internet access and word processing on all of them. People firmly resent trying Star Office at first, but most of them like it once they try it and once they see that it doesn't damage their documents.

I blame the databases, not Firefox of course :) But issues like that are one reason not to switch over the public PCs.

Those "bad choices" are typically web applications that only work with IE. (Such as those containing ActiveX controls.) Otherwise, there are few reasons not to switch.
