This section documents the supported Web browser configurations for WorldServer.
Supported web browsers
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
- Microsoft Edge 38 or later
- Mozilla Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) 52.1.2 or later
- Safari 9 or later
- Google Chrome 27 or later
More recent versions of Chrome no longer support Microsoft Silverlight and Java as part of their policy to no longer allow Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) plugins. There is a workaround for Silverlight which enables you to run Internet Explorer inside Chrome called IE Tab. Alternatively, you can continue to work with WorldServer using other supported browsers.
Starting with WorldServer 11.1, you can also open WorldServer Explorer as a browser-independent application by using the Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP). This is particularly useful if the browser you use does not support Java applets.
Also, while we no longer routinely test earlier versions of Internet Explorer, we expect these to continue to work with WorldServer 11.3. However, the login page no longer checks for supported browser versions, so you may experience some display or functionality issues when using them.
