SIM and web browser

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

Having trouble with the web browser while in SIM.
I have SIM 4.2 SP1 loaded on a W2K system. I access the SIM from my desktop running Fedora Core 3 with the Firefox browser.

Seems that when I move around in the SIM my browser will all of the sudden die/quit. All of my other browser windows go with it too.

What's up?

Try to use Mozilla - is only one supported browser (except ie obviously...).

Firefox is Mozilla

sorry, version 1.4 for hp-ux and 1.5 (or greater)for linux,
but supported web browser os (linux) are:
Red Hat Enterprise AS and ES Linux 2.1, Update 4
Red Hat Enterprise AS and ES Linux 3, Update 3
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, Service Pack 3
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9,
only commercial... :(

Firefox is from mozilla.org but is not Mozilla. It uses a different rendering engine. Firefox is not supported at this time.

hy
I am running firefox 1.0 on win2k pro and it works ok.
only thing that I noticed was that after some time All Systems link stops working - when I click it, that hour animation runs but after that nothing is displayed, just empty frame.
hope it helps guys at development.
c ya.

Thanks for the correction - mozilla and firefox are not the same.

Using mozilla has no problems.

Thanks to all!
