Can't install extensions on a work machine but you can add a network wide blocker?

Wouldn't a company VPN bypass all that even though you are using your own internet connection to connect to the outside world?

sadly, agreed. mindshare leads to adoption, tho - so putting Firefox in front of more faces is always a positive. after all, its how google dominates.

Depends on how lax the IT department is when it comes to random executables. I was able to move the firefox installer to the appdata root, and run a non-admin install to my user profile.
