Comment 12 Einav Cohen 2013-01-08 10:33:43 EST

FF17 will be the only supported browser for linux clients in RHEV-M 3.2.

note that we cannot differentiate between ESR vs non-ESR versions: (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939929)
so for every FF17 on linux, the "This Browser version isn't optimal" will not be displayed.

Comment 16 Pavel Novotny 2013-02-15 10:26:24 EST

Verified with firefox-17.0.2-3.el6_3 against rhevm-3.2.0-7.el6ev (SF6).

In Firefox 17 ESR, the browser incompatibility message is not shown in the Web Admin and User/Power User Portal. See attached screenshots for details.

As mentioned in comment #13, Firefox 10 is no longer flaged as a supported browser and the browser incompatibility message is displayed there.
