Mozilla for individuals, not corporations

Mozilla's rapid released Firefox 5 received quite a good number of feedback from individual users. But the opposite happened for the corporate guys. Firefox 5, according to people working on huge companies, is impossible for them for quite a number of reasons.

The first obvious reason is the fact that some corporations build their products and services on stable browsers, and they just can't follow rapid changes. Moving from one browser to another will require a lot of testing, and that simply cannot all be done in under 6 weeks.

And if they happen to test it within 6 weeks, there's no guarantee that when they're ready to use this version, a newer version will be release again. This is the very problem corporations are facing with Mozilla's new every-6-weeks version release philosophy, the same philosophy Google have in their mind for Chrome.

And while a corporate backslash greeted Firefox 5, corporations who just upgraded to Firefox 4, some of which are still using Firefox 3.6, Mozilla responded to them with strong words: we are aiming at individuals, not corporations.

"We recognize that this shift may not be compatible with a large organization's IT policy and understand that it is challenging to organizations that have effort-intensive certification polices. However, our development process is geared toward delivering products that support the Web as it is today, while innovating and building future Web capabilities," said Kev Needham, the channel manager at Mozilla, in a statement. "Tying Firefox product development to an organizational process we do not control would make it difficult for us to continue to innovate for our users and the betterment of the Web," he added.

Ultimately, corporations have no other choice but to use a browser that will support them. Mozilla's rival, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, is the best candidate, whose philosophy is more geared on the enterprise rather than individual users.
