this is more likely to be joke or prank than real. the browser does not say firefox.exe. you have to go to end task and go to processes to find firefox.exe. if the teacher knows how to find firefox.exe then she is smart enough to tell the difference between them. oh and at least spell it correctly :d and put a random school logo on it to make more convincing.
well here's the school's website .. lol... i know i'm lame : http://www.bigspring.k12.pa.us/index.php?new_school_id=2
what the....teachers these days still don't know about firefox...? lol that's just not right...like my school allows us to use firefox or whatever browers we want to...what is this world coming to...
Actually, I understand why the administrator acted the way he did. Consider the fact that the kid was at a school, security is their number 1 concern. I think that they were worried about compromising their security because the kid tried to launch a 3rd party software that may not have been approved by the administration. However, suspending him is a bit much.
