Mozilla products banned by IT because they had a vulnerability in a pervious version.
Rant
It was so bullshit. I had Mozilla Firefox 115.1 installed, and Mozilla put out an advisory, like they do all the fucking time. Fujitsu made it out to be some huge huge unfixed bug the very next day in an email after the advisory was posted and the email chain basically said "yk, we should just remove all Firefox. It's vulnerable so it must be removed."I wouldn't be mad if they decided that they didn't want to have it be a managed app or that there was something (actually) wrong with it or literally anything else than the fact that they didn't bother actually reading either fucking advisory and decided to nuke something I use daily.
Nah mate, they were completely right. What if you install an older version, and keep using it maliciously? Oh wait, now that you mention, I'm totally sure Edge had a similar problem at one point in the past. So refrain from using Edge, too. Or Explorer. And while we're at it, it's best to stay away from Chrome, as well. That had a similar vulnerability before, I'm sure. So let's dish that, along with Opera, Safari, Maxthon and Netscape Navigator. Just use Lynx, it's super lightweight!
EDIT: on another thought, you should just have stopped working for the above reason. Nothing is safe anymore.
Can't use Lynx either.

All web pages must now be phoned in via a touch-tone system, and delivered on paper printouts via regular post.
Touch-tones had some sort of vulnerability too; you're going to have to mail in your HTTP requests.
