Web Browsers at MIT
MIT relies on the Web to deliver critical information, services, and applications to members of the MIT community. Among the criteria for determining which browsers are to be supported by IS&T is the support of x.509 digital certificates for accessing secure web sites at MIT. The following summarizes the current recommended and supported browsers at MIT.
Note: It is important that all web browser versions be current with the operating system, and that all critical browser patches be current.
Athena
Firefox 2.0.x is the current default version available in the Athena environment running on Linux and Solaris.
Linux/UNIX
Firefox 1.5.0.x is the current default browser for stock (non-Athena) Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Note: RedHat Linux update service provides security updates to this browser.
Macintosh
Safari 2.0.x or higher, for Mac OS X 10.4.x or later, Intel or Power PC-based.
Firefox 2.0.x for Mac OS X, Intel or Power PC-based.
Windows
Internet
Explorer 6.0.2 with SP2 for Windows XP SP2.
Note: For IE, IS&T anticipates that new releases will continue
to operate within MIT's web and certificate environment.
Firefox 2.0.x for Windows Vista and XP.
