Powerconnect 5324 and Firefox
I searched a bit for a similar thread that covers this but could not find one so if one exists I apologize to the mods if one does exist
I am having trouble managing Dell 5324 switches using some of the latest versions of Firefox. I am sure I have tried a few of the higher versions, but the main box I would like to conquer this on is running Firefox 42.0
It opens the page and seems to authenticate and then reports I should use IE 5.5 or Netscape 7.1
Management opens fine in IE 9
Since this switch is on the private side and can only be accessed from inside management is set up on http not https so I cant see this could be a certificate issue.
Software is 1.0.0.45
Boot 1.0.0.21
Is there anything simple that can be done or is this switch so outdated that I will never get it to be seen by the latest browser versions?
I see there is an updated Boot, does anyone know if that would fix it or is t a waste of time since the switch seems to be fine otherwise.

Thanks Daniel, I read that in the change log after posting last night.
I just may try that but will have to schedule to go to the noc to do it as it is a little over an hour drive and want to be there in case it hangs up or anything.
It has been forever since I did a firmware upgrade, will this preserve the configuration?

I am happy to report that I was able to schedule going to the noc and upgrading the firmware on this switch and it did in fact fix the problem with Firefox.
I am now able to manage the switch with the newer versions of Firefox without issue.
