Firefox 4 – Not Recommended

Posted on: April 5th, 2011 by Penny Rice

You may have recently read about or been prompted to upgrade your Web browser to Firefox version 4.  This new version of Firefox, released on March 22, 2011, has been causing its own share of headaches on the UM campus in recent days.

Firefox 4, on both the Windows and Mac platforms, is not compatible with myOleMiss, due to issues with the SAP portal environment.  Blackboard also does not support this version of the browser.  For these reasons, the IT Helpdesk recommends that you do not update your browser to version 4 at this time.

If you have already updated to Firefox version 4 and are currently experiencing issues, you will need to roll back to an earlier version. You can download the previous version of Firefox 3.6.16 at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html.
