[cobalt-users] RE: [XTR] Admin Left hand Navigation buttons gone in Mozilla Firefox

["J.F. Charland" <jfc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Vidar 

This is a long-standing Mozilla bug that is still not resolved (outstanding since v1.1, I believe). You are right, it is a Javascript issue. 

On a Linux or Windows system, you can use Opera as an alternative to IE, but not Mozilla/Gecko-based browsers. Not sure about Macs, though.

This is probably not the answer you wanted to hear. It's surprising and disappointing that a Linux-based product like the Cobalt Raq requires a Microsoft browser to administer.  Like you, I find it frustrating that every time I try to go open-source to take advantage of a better platform or a specific application, I keep getting pulled back by some "Micro$oft-ism".  :(
