Dell is hoping to make web browsing a safer experience for corporate and home users with the release of a modified Firefox build that can reportedly keep malware locked into the browser itself, rather than infecting the whole operating system.

I wonder how this compares to just using Sandboxie (what I use).

A platform made standard like this will hopefully better protect the average user. I hope adoption rate is good and that other OEMs make the same move.

If only x64 versions would be released...

I'm am stunned a firefox version was released before IE.

We are making progress people finally!

Would be a good idea, but, knowing Dell, it will greenlight all of Dell's annoying ad's LOL.
Also, why no x64 bit?
I also use a sandboxed version of firefox when I feel the need to visit a "questionable" website.

Great idea.

No 64-Bit? I'm sure most of DELL's computers are being sold with Win 7 64-Bit by default so I wonder why no 32-Bit support.
