Are they talking about government devices? I've never seen firefox installed on a government device.
It is installed on our computers, depends on the agency it policy
Yeah, I'm surprised your agency let's you do that with firefox. First time I have heard of that.
Do school or library computers count as government devices?
Generally I was talking about Federal devices. Those move a lot of needles because one federal change can switch a lot of stuff over.
Technically, yes, but in this context government devices means systems used by federal employees which have access to PII or classified information.
