Story: Firefox sneaks into the enterprise

IT managers need to learn up on Firefox. For over a year now I have been requesting that I be allowed to install the Firefox web browser (or Mozilla) on my computer at work partly because I find it more productive (the quicker page load times and tabbed browsing) but mainly due to the various alarming security flaws in Internet Explorer.
As the computer (a laptop which I can take home and on the road) also contains personal information I was real scared of a malicous hacker or program stealing my details.
Eventually after alerting them to the fact that I could sue them for quite a lot of money if their refusal to let me not use Internet Explorer led to me having personal details stolen, they agreed that I could install Firefox.
I just wonder how many other employees of big corporations (with their strict IT policies) suffer from a company policy of defaulting to Internet Explorer.
