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

["Head, Don" <Don.Head@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Has it been determined if it's incorrectly written JavaScript on
Cobalt's side, or bad JavaScript implementation on the browser side?
Too often, I see things blamed on one side or the other, when really
it's the other side's fault.  Don't want to point fingers, just curious
if it's been looked into with greater detail.

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".  :(
