Well, it is a good day indeed! Spreadfirefox.com has reported that HP have recognised Firefox and are intent on incorporating it into their systems. The post quoted the following extract:

In Autumn of 2004 we have seen a dramatic increase in customer usage of the Mozilla/Firefox browser on our Web site. Mozilla has positioned their Firefox browser as a more secure, faster tool for browsing the Internet. Firefox has received a lot of visibility in the press, and this is contributing to the rapid conversion rates in our user population.

In order to support our customer’s efforts to better control their online experiences (through the use of browser choice, security related issues and speed) we need to ensure that all pages will successfully render in this tool. To fail to do so would be a conflict with our Total Customer Experience (TCE) goals.

Effective immediately, HP.com will formally adopt the Firefox browser as a standard browser.

This can only be the beginning. HP is one of the top PC manufacturers and now that they support Firefox, it can only do wonders for the little guy. There have already been in excess of 12 million downloads of the Firefox browser since version 1.0 was launched on 9 November. Go Firefox, Go!
