FireFox Installation on School Comps

[user-7256]

Hey,

I downloaded the FF 1.5 install file onto the student file server in my folder at school.

Now my question, how can I use this - and only me, preferably - amazing browser at school without the facutly knowing? :p

And let me say this, the school computers here are VERY insecure... getting into the DOS prompt and registry is easy, so a little install not too bad?

Also, I would prefer to use Firefox instead of the Netscape 4.1 they have (about 6 years old)

Thanks,
-Matt

If you do it without the faculty knowing you are risking suspension.
Why would you even consider doing something so foolish just to view the internet with a different browser?

If you think this browser is so great then do something productive and convince the faculty to use it system wide.

Just because a system is insecure it doesn't give you the right to manipulate it.

Don't waste your time installing it - just get Firefox Portable and use that.

Yeah it seems most school computers have an ancient version of Netscape...

I'd like to install Firefox on some of them but I've never tried

Firefox portable, on a usb drive, very easy

So you're asking how to install unapproved and potentially insecure software on a school computer, right?

If the school network gets comprimised because of a security hole in Firefox, who do you think will be getting suspended? :hehe:

 

[smub]

i'd use portable usb if i hav to use it you can get suspended for that .. so you might want to be careful

Your asking for advice on how to do something that is illegal I suggest you edit your post and act like you never created this thread.

Heh, okay.

Somebody care to enlighten me on how to... A) Contact system network admins, and B) Use Firefox portable?

I would LOVE to use this most very effective and secure and fast and easy to use web browser at school

 

[HHDomains]

I doubt very much anyone here will know how to contact the system admins at your school.
Go throught the proper channels. Ask a teacher.

K fine, so why do you always look at the negative things?

Sorry but recently I've noticed you do a lot of bashing, if you did NOT notice I asked another, more DOMINANT question, what is Firefox portable and where do I get it? You need to look at the more positive things, don't point out the negative so much It doesn't do much good and just makes people feel bad

 

[HHDomains]

You can take it however you like.
You post here asking advice on a possibly illegal activity and you want positive feedback?

Last year firefox had more bug reports announced than internet explorer did.

Firefox portable is great, i use it in college and it works like a charm...you can also use portable thunderbird and openoffice (you will need a 512mb usb stick though).

Last year firefox had more bug reports announced than internet explorer did.

At least they fix the bugs more frequently

I use portable FF, its all good.

He's a fanboy, his brain won't even read that :lol:

At least they fix the bugs more frequently

At the expense of proper testing

What's your problem? Is all you can say about me negative and against me? :td:
