Re: Warning - Firefox v4 not compatible with HMC 7.7.1

Rob,

Thanks for this post. I too, have the same issue that started after
upgrading to the new Firefox and Chrome browser versions. I don't have
Windows 7 (still stuck on XP) and can't upgrade to the newest Explorer
version. My version 8 of Explorer sort of works, but has different
annoyances (not liking the certificate from the HMC). I have tried all the
suggestions listed below, and have had no luck in fixing the issue.

If anyone does come across a solution that works for you, please post in
detail what you did to fix it. My boss has the same problem when accessing
our HMC, and I would like to get us both fixed.

And, from another post:
You might try pointing your browser to www.java.com to see what version
you're using. Click on "Do I Have Java?" and do the Install Verification.

This seems a little dated:

I also noticed this:
Firefox 1.5.0.7
Note: For Firefox 2.0 make sure the JavaScript options to raise or lower
windows and move or resize existing windows are enabled. To enable these
options, go to the Content tab in the browser's Options dialog, click
Advanced? next to the Enable JavaScript option, then select Raise or lower
windows option (a check mark appears) and Move or resize existing windows
options (a check mark appears). These features allow you to switch easily
between HMC tasks.

Firefox
1. Tools -> Options
2. Select Cookies Tab
3. Select check box Allow sites to set cookies.
4. If you want to allow only specific sites then select 'Exceptions'
and then you can just add this HMC to allow.

My boss had this problem and I forget exactly how we beat this into
submission.

Whoops!

Just clicked ok to Firefox v4 and discovered that it is not compatible
with HMC 7.7.1.

I have three LPARs but Firefox v4 only shows 3.

Damn!
