Firefox, IE7 and Microsoft CRM
The Associated Press reported that the Firefox browser took more market share from Internet Explorer:
Microsoft Corp.'s share of the U.S. browser market has slipped below 90 percent as the Firefox browser continues to grow in popularity, according to independent tracking by WebSideStory.
On computers running Microsoft's Windows, Internet Explorer has a 91 percent share, down from 97 percent in June. Outside the United States, Germany is among the leading adopters of Firefox, with a 23 percent share, compared with 69 percent for Internet Explorer.
We bring this to your attention just to remind you Microsoft CRM only runs in Internet Explorer. In fact, if you try to access Microsoft CRM using Firefox you will receive this message:
Firefox does have some nice features like tabbed browsing and PNG support, but hang in there! Microsoft will be launching a new version of Internet Explorer (version 7) this summer. The official Microsoft Internet Explorer web blog states that IE7 will address the PNG support, and we're guessing tabbed browsing too!

Firefox & IE are tough competitors but there will come a day when IE will completely beat firefox....

Microsoft CRM does NOT work with Firefox. Using the IE-Tab extension is a cheat as this extension embeds IE inside a Firefox tab. In other words you're still using IE! Try it on Linux; see what happens. And IE beating Firefox; get real. Whose market share is increasing and whose is decreasing?
