SOL9689: FirePass support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 8

Microsoft released the final (non-beta) release of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) on March 19, 2009. Starting in FirePass version 6.1.0, FirePass supports IE8. Additionally, F5 Networks issued cumulative hotfix HF-603-2.1 for FirePass version 6.0.3 and cumulative hotfix HF-602-10 for FirePass version 6.0.2 to add support for IE8. You may download these hotfixes or later versions of the cumulative hotfixes from the F5 Networks Downloads site.



Note: For information about known compatibility issues with IE8, refer to SOL10662: Known compatibility issues between FirePass and Internet Explorer 8.

FirePass versions prior to 6.0.2 do not support IE8, although some features may work with this browser.

If your organization has users running IE8, and you are running a version of FirePass that does not support IE8, refer to SOL9864: Preparing for Internet Explorer 8 with FirePass for remediation steps.
