Is it just me, or has Firefox become an outcast?

Domain admins? None. That'd be stupid. I've always had at least local admin rights though.
Local admin. Considered the absolute first rule of computing - never give end users local admin rights.

But yeah use a domain account an elevate it with the needed permissions if needed. otherwise there is no way to remove it or disable it if the know the local admin account login.
Even for IT staff I've followed the rule of giving them two accounts, one is standard limited account which is to be used for most things, email, web surfing etc. and then a second account with their initals ex: jfadmin for a domain admin login. keeps things from getting messed up.
I've actually never even elevated a normal end users account to let them be a local admin I've always modified folder permissions or registry permissions as needed. I have given GIS people local admin rights before but they are pretty much an extension of IT in some places and can't live without it do to the software developing they do.

IE8 was great...back when it was released for XP and stabilized IE. I see no reason we shouldn't AT LEAST be on IE9.
Maybe you see no reason but, I'm sure someone else that made the call did. I held the town I worked for before the county on IE8 (this was even on windows 7) there was software that some departments used online that needed 8 so I kept everyone on 8 so there would be no issues. I would hope they have fixed those websites by now but who knows.

He's on a helpdesk. To the desktop support team, he's an end user like any other. Just being in IT shouldn't give you desktop rights. A CIO should not have desktop admin rights.

If it's government, it's entirely possible that they still no worky on IE9.

Every previous job I've had (granted, all SMB), I've had either domain admin creds or local admin creds with my domain account. I'm in Enterprise now. I know I've got a lot to learn about how things work here vs SMB. Give me time.

What we really need to do is define browser. Because Chrome is more than a browser. Its a mini OS
In what way? How is it different from other browsers?

What do you mean by volume?
You were criticizing IE for not having enough sprawl of addons.

Ah, ok. Well, it has a pretty pathetic selection.

Does it lack specific features?

IE just lacks general support for websites to develop plugins for it. You see people say to download the FF add-in, or the Chrome extension, but you rarely see anything for IE outside of toolbars. And we all LOVE toolbars....
-
But is anything missing? Why would you want a plugin for a site? What site is lacking functionality?
Sounds like you want exactly what people used to hate about IE and ActiveX.

Things like AdBlock Plus, just as one example. However, it's finding plugins/extensions/add-ins that you might not have realized existed, just by browsing the repositories, that turn out to be big time savers. I'm more upset at the IE basically not encouraging people to develop for it.

I personally don't find IE lacking in anything except performance, well and I can't get NoScript or TreeStyleTabs.
Performance might even be up these days, but because I can't have the addons I want, I haven't bothered using it for my daily web surfing for years.
