Browsers
To use all the features available in OWA you need to use one of these Web browsers.
- Internet Explorer 7 and later versions
- Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and later versions [please note: there is a bug with Firefox 8]
- Apple Safari 3.0 and later versions
- Google Chrome 1.0 and later versions

Known issue with Firefox 8: There appears to be a known bug with Firefox 8 and live@ucl which results in all attachments being downloaded with the *.ashx file extension, making the files unreadable. This appears to be a bug in the OWA. The only workaround is to revert to an earlier version of Firefox or switch to an alternative browser such as IE 9. |
