The final security update for Firefox 2 was released in December, 2008; Mozilla recommends that all Firefox 2 users upgrade to Firefox 3.x. We certified Firefox 3.0 with Oracle E-Business Suite in February, 2009. Since then, the Mozilla team has released several updates on the Firefox 3.5 line. I'm very pleased to announce that Firefox 3.5 is now certified with the E-Business Suite.
If you've already applied all of the prerequisites required for Firefox 3.0, you'll be happy to learn that no additional E-Business Suite patches are needed for Firefox 3.5 compatibility. The same baseline of patches for Firefox 3.0 allow for a painless upgrade to Firefox 3.5.

Is Report Manager also certified with Firefox now? We were told that since FF doesn't support VBScript that it won't support Report Manager...

Hello, Jim, Vinod,
I'm trying to verify Report Manager's compatibility with Firefox right now. I'll post an update here as soon as I get confirmation on its status.
Regards,
Steven

Hello, Jim, Vinod,
A follow-up on Report Manager:
Oracle Report Manager interaction with Excel will not work when using the Firefox browser. This functionality requires the interaction of ActiveX through VbScript which is not supported in Firefox. Oracle Report Manager users should run Internet Explorer for full functionality. Full support through Firefox is being investigated through enhancement request 7832639 titled, 'Support downloading of FSG reports and templates in excel for Firefox browser'.
Our respective browser Notes for EBS 11i and 12 have been updated with this information.
Thanks for flagging this issue.
Regards,
Steven

Is there any way of following that enhancement request?
It shows up as a bug on metalink but doesn't appear to be publicly accessible (platform shows as being HP Tru64 UNIX but I presume it's really Generic?).

Hi, Ian,
You're right: it looks like the Reports Manager team has flagged that enhancement request for internal Oracle visibility only. The best way of following up on this -- and ensuring that your vote for this functionality is properly registered -- is to log a Service Request referencing this enhancement request. The Support Engineer can update the enhancement request with your organization's information. That will be visible to the Reports Manager development team.
Regards,
Steven
