IMHO, if IBM is going to require specific features of a specific browser to run 
their product (and AFAIK, FF 3.6 is the ONLY browser that works properly with 
the Admin Center), then IBM should package it with the product and support it.

The current situation is wholly unacceptable, because customers standardize on 
particular browser versions for security patches, because the desktops are 
supported by a different group than the storage admins, for sanity sake, etc.

That's actually not as ridiculous as you think, well, actually it's not
at all.   Some apps used a version of HTML/java/whatever, that just
would not work with newer versions of IE, Netscape, or Firefox.

IBM's Shark Storage was one, we had to keep an older version of netscape around 
along with an older version of java, just to be able to manage it until we 
migrated off.  There have been other apps that had the same problem.

That is as ridiculous as telling people to keep IE6 around since their 
applications don't work on anything newer....................but at least you 
CAN have multiple version of FF.......

FYI... don't install the latest Firefox 8 if you're using FF to access TSM
6.2 Admin Center.

I did the dumb thing and installed the latest Firefox 8 this morning when 
prompted.

I got logged into the 6.2 Admin Center, but couldn't open any servers for 
management.  Got a "500 error" on the screens.

An uninstall and reload of V 3.6.13 was the solution.
