Firefox Download:


In that spirit, it’s worth pointing out that the following browsers are supported with the E-Business Suite Release 11 for Windows XP and Windows 2000 desktop clients:
  • Firefox 1.0.4 and later
  • Firefox 1.5 and later
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 for WinXP clients only
  • Mozilla 1.7.5 and later
  • Netscape 7.2
For Mac OS X clients, the following is supported:
  • Safari 2.0.4 and later
  • Safari 1.3.2 and later
  • Note:  Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x has been desupported by Microsoft
All of these browsers have their own set of product-specific prerequisite patches, JInitiator requirements, and so on, which suggests that a careful review of the documentation below is always a good exercise if you’re considering supporting new browsers on your corporate desktops.
