Hi Daniel,

I skimmed through the mediawik HISTORY and mediawiki.org itself, but 
could not find any hint regarding the use of older browsers.

But on the other hand, isn't it highly advisable not to use outdated 
browsers in terms of security issues? Thus I wouldn't really focus on 
being compatible with older browsers.


mediawiki on wiki.osgeo.org needs updating - it's an 1.6.3. We will 
update it to 1.7.1 (or higher if available) as soon as possible. Maybe 
that increases compatibilty - but I'm not really optimistic.

Couldn't it be a different browser setting somewhere in your mozilla?

Best Regards,
Benjamin
