Technical Requirements
Supported browsers
To provide the cutting-edge functionality requested by our users, to make our applications accessible for the vision impaired, and to most effectively leverage our resources, LST targets a range of modern browsers, which are used by the vast majority of our clients. We test Catalyst Web Tools on these browsers to ensure availability and accessibility of tools and content.
For the optimal experience with the Catalyst Web Tools, we recommend using one of the following Web browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 7+ or 8 for Windows. Download Internet Explorer.
- Mozilla Firefox 3+ for any operating system. Download FireFox.
- Apple Safari 3 or 4 for Mac or Windows. Download Safari.
Other modern, standards-compliant browsers, such as Opera, Chrome, or Iceweasel, should also function well, though we do not systematically test our applications with these browsers.
Non-supported browsers
There are over 10,000 browser brands and versions, and this number is growing. Outdated and non-standards-compliant browsers comprise the vast majority of these browsers. A great deal of engineering resources would be required to ensure that Catalyst Web Tools work well with this software, so while we do not explicitly block all of them, we cannot guarantee complete availability and accessibility of tools and content. We encourage you to download a recent version of your preferred browser, or contact your technical support staff and request that your browser software be updated.
The following are examples of non-supported browsers:
- IE versions below 7. IE 6 currently receives very limited support from Microsoft on some versions of Windows and is near its end of life.
- Safari 2.x or below.
- Firefox 2.x or below.
