Are they talking about government devices? I've never seen firefox installed on a government device.

Do school or library computers count as government devices?
1 0 ReplyTechnically, yes, but in this context government devices means systems used by federal employees which have access to PII or classified information.
2 0 ReplyGenerally I was talking about Federal devices. Those move a lot of needles because one federal change can switch a lot of stuff over.
