I look after a small company using a server and 8 PCs running Windows 7. The server has run the company’s main business program for many years but is dying. A decision has been made to go web based using the same main program and to make the server obsolete, which I welcome.
However, on deploying the new web based trial software I have been asked to load an 18 month old version of Firefox onto the PCs running windows 7 as the web based software cannot run with modern browsers such as IE9. The software developer says that no upgrade to IE 9 will be available for some months due to their server upgrade requirements and as long as old Firefox is used only to run this software and connects to no other internet sites there are will be no security issues.
I would appreciate any comments or advice you care to send my way.
Many thanks.
