ClickOnce FireFox Replacement

Hi,

I have discovered that FireFox does not support ClickOnce, rather ClickOnce does not support FireFox at this point in time.  I realized the reason why was in all of FireFox's security it wont even allow the installer to access Windows System information, sometimes a thick thick lead wall can be a bad thing.

Anyways, my question is is there anyway, to get around that problem with maybe a different installer   I think the problem comes when FireFox is the default browser, because even when running the Setup.exe file off of the local machine it fails but with IE set as defualt it runs with no problems.

So is there a work around

    fugly, but it works (but only if you direct the FireFox browser to the revised setup.exe file)--

    for kludge arounds and more excuses.
    Read the blog comments the work arounds aren't that great.
    Essentially if you want a professional seamless install, ClickOnce is not your product.
