I'm not sure why this is even being debated. The Firefox for Mac "installer" consists of a disk image you mount to drag the app into your Applications folder. The Finder will prompt you for administrator credentials when try to modify the Applications folder while you are logged into a non-administrative account. There's no need to log directly into the admin account. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
