[Yulcat-l] Cataloger's Desktop: Firefox problems

[Steven Arakawa]

It appears that the Cataloger's Desktop toolbar (it allows you to bookmark, 
backtrack, start over & other things) is not functioning if the Firefox 
browser is used. This has been my experience as well. As indicated, the 
toolbar is functioning on IE. And note that CDS does not support the 
Firefox browser, so unless the collective users can come up with a 
solution, you may have to use IE to work with Cataloger's Desktop.

    We unforutnately aren't in a position to answer questions about 
Firefox.  Our commitment to subscribers is that it will work with either 
Internet Explorer or Netscape.  Although we have received many positive 
reports from subscribers who use Desktop with Firefox, we can make no 
promises that it will work as expected in Firefox.  See < 
http://www.loc.gov/cds/desktop/web-faqs.html >.
