IE is what many (most?) of us have when we turn on our work computer. At my state agency you have to make a special request to get any program beyond the basic Office Suite installed. Which they will do, and did for me, but it is another damn thing to do.

@newcurator — I think you are probably right, but the question remains why they haven’t changed. Don’t educational institutions and businesses care about computer security (and getting fewer viruses)?
My current university has Firefox on the library computers, but it is not on the stone-age computer in my office (it probably wouldn’t even run!).

I think it’s down to most education establishments using IE as part of their whole Microsoft setup.
Simply put, public computers don’t tend to have Firefox.
