--Nirwana 08:52, 27 Apr 2005 (PDT) If the CCK were an extension, this could easily be disabled or uninstalled. IMHO, this is not the best option for companies/ISPs wishing to customize Firefox. They'd like to be really sure that what they customize cannot easily be undone. Mostly they customize the browser for a reason and do not like it when this reason can easily be circumvented.
--Gavin Sharp 09:53, 27 Apr 2005 (PDT) So why not add the ability to prevent disabling and uninstallation? People seem to be quick to reject the extension system because of minor issues like these, but these issues seem much easier to fix than rearchitecturing the installer.
--MikeKaply 09:03, 27 Apr 2005 (PDT) Very true, and I'm not sure necessarily at this point an extension is the right thing. I'll remove the extension comment at the top and just focus on collecting the types of things people will want to modify.
--fantasai The CCK should guide people through branding issues based on what customizations they have made.
