The Mozilla team released Firefox 2.0.0.20 in December, 2008. This was the last update to the Firefox 2 codeline; no further additional security or stability updates will be available for Firefox 2. E-Business Suite users can run this version of Firefox 2 safely.
Mozilla recommends that all Firefox users upgrade to Firefox 3. Firefox 3 included some changes to its rendering and focus-handling model, and until now, we’ve had to (reluctantly) advise E-Business Suite customers to wait for our certification to be completed before upgrading to this latest browser release.
The wait is over. I’m very pleased to announce that Firefox 3 is now certified with Oracle E-Business Suite.
This certification took us a little longer than expected due to a number of compatibility issues that we found during our regular browser certification process. We’ve now released new OA Framework patches to address those issues, so your Apps end-users can upgrade their desktops to Firefox 3 as soon as you apply these new ATG interoperability patches.
