I was wondering whether anyone has any experience with firefox 12 in combination with TM1 9.5.2 / 10.1 both web & contributor.
We are currently using firefox 12 in combination with web/contributor version 9.5.1 without issues and are considering upgrading to TM1 version 9.5.2 or 10.1 but the support matrix is not really helpfull when it comes to knowing whether any recent firefox version is compatible
Can't really blame Iboglix for that one; it's down to Firefox's stupid "If this is Thursday, it must be time for a new release" schedule combined with the breathtaking arrogance of some of the development team of boldly declaring that "we've broken compatibility in the past and we'll happily do it in the future!"
These two combined mean that it's effectively impossible for anyone to fully test compatibility with the latest version of Firefox when "the latest version" will only be so for a few weeks, leaving you with the choice of an older, unsupported version or running the risk of using a current version which is not fully tested.
Don't get me wrong, I use Firefox for my personal browsing; IE has become clunky and overloaded with pop-up dialogs that you can't permanently kill, content which is copied from Chrome often renders in abnormal ways, although I do have Safari to check site compatibility for the most part Apple can go sod itself, and that leaves Firefox. But in a
corporate environment IMHO the Firefox development team's policy has taken the browser out into the woods and shot it in the head; I just don't think it can be relied on unless you're prepared to be doing a full battery of tests every few weeks, which no business has the resources to do.
For what it's worth I have
run 10.1 Applications under Firefox 12 on my test machine and aside from one screwy "download" dialog when it launches I haven't found anything that doesn't work... but you should absolutely
not take that as an affirmation that everything will in fact work under it.
