MIDAS is already fully compatible with Firefox 6. That’s because as part of our commitment to our browser based scheduling software, here at MIDAS HQ we regularly test our software in alpha and beta “development builds” of all 5 major browsers before final versions are released!
This helps us to identify as early as possible any potential incompatibilities, so that we can address them before a major browser update is publicly released! (…in fact, right now we’re testing MIDAS in early alpha builds of Firefox 8.0 and it’s running like a dream!)
To find out what’s new in Firefox 6.0, check out the full Release Notes. If you’ve not yet updated your Firefox, be sure to get version 6 now!! …it’s free and only take a couple of minutes to update!
