Student starts Firefox campaign on campus
When students use on-campus computers, they have various browsers they can use, including Internet Explorer and Safari.
If one Appalachian State University student has his way, all students would only use Mozilla Firefox.

James F. Beckner III, a freshmen computer information systems major, is the campus representative for the Firefox campaign.
“The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness of Firefox and to get people to switch over to Firefox,” Beckner said.
In order to help get the word out about Firefox, Beckner is hosting a raffle on his Web site where Firefox users can win T-shirts, with the grand prize being a Firefox backpack that is valued at $70. The raffle ends at midnight April 15 and is completely free for Appalachian affiliates.
The raffle is for people who are using or want to use Firefox, Beckner said.
Besides just giving away free gifts for Firefox users, Beckner wants people to understand the benefits of it.
