so, FF4 seems to be not suported at all.

Please anyone tell what IE/FF browsers version are officially supported by HMCv7?

I've only ever used Firefox with HMC, and ran into the same problem as you have when I upgraded to Firefox 4.x Pages either didn't render correctly, or didn't display at all. Only solution I found was going back to Firefox 3.x. I'm running the latest Firefox 3. build without any HMC issues.

the fun is that IBM says that IE8 is not supported by HMCv7 and about FF 3.X or 4.X IBM doesn't mention at all in the HMCv7 release notes.
Maybe IBM could announce something similiar google did a few days ago:

"As of August 1st, we will discontinue support for the following browsers and their predecessors: Firefox 3.5, Internet Explorer 7, and Safari 3. In these older browsers you may have trouble using certain features in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs and Google Sites, and eventually these apps may stop working entirely."
I am affraid I will have to uninstall IE7 and install IE8 to use Google and do rallback if want to use HMCv7.

I have the same problem with HMC v7 and firefox 4. I tried rolling back to my previous version of Firefox, but now it won't load at all.
The Mozilla web site has Firefox 5.0 available for download - has anyone tried it?

I tried firefox 5.0 and it still doesn't work.
I also upgrade the HMC to 7.7.3.0 and now it shows in the release notes that Firefox 4.0 has specific issues and is NOT supported.

I hope they fix this.. for now, I use IETAB (with ie 8) through firefox 5.0 to access the HMC. Seems to be the only way to have it work.

HMC 7.2.0 SP1 is working for me with Firefox 5.0, but it doesn't show all the lpars, had to click on on the ID tab few times to see them all.

I've found what looks like a workaround. This is in the new FF6.0 and HMC V7R7.2.0, so I'd be interested to know if it works in other versions.

Grab the resize bar between the top and bottom panels, and drag it up until a scrollbar appears in the LPAR panel at the top (See pic#1 and pic#2 at http://imgur.com/a/vVAyw). Grab the (inner) scrollbar and wiggle it up and down a few times, then leave it at the bottom of the range, next to the last LPAR.

Now drag the resize bar back down again and you should be able to see all your LPARs including the last one. (pic #3)

This also works on the Servers page. It looks like you have to do it each time you change pages, but it's at least a workaround until it gets fixed.

Thanks for the tip savidgea. That helps.

But I'm still having trouble with my single partition systems in Firefox 6. I can't see it at all on its own. Anyone had any luck getting these to show when you click on that particular one? I can't get to the term console window without it.

I can see my full partitions with IE8 but the left window menus disappears when I chose any of the menu items such as Servers, HMC mgmt, Updates...etc. I have to use the tree path at the very top of the window to go back to previous menu. Then it's hit or miss if the left window comes back.

I've now got a Greasemonkey script that will allow all the LPARs to be displayed, but it compacts back up again as soon as you click anything.

I'll continue to work on that in my spare time and see if I can fix it.

What the heck, I'll paste it here. It might help someone while I work on a fix. At least you can tick the box.

Greasemonkey plugin for FF is available from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/

and my script is:

// ==UserScript== 
// @name           HMC fix 
// @namespace      http:// 
// @description    fix HMC 
// ==/UserScript==   
// find first on this page  var xpathResult = document.evaluate(
'(//div[@tablesettingskey="NavTreeLparsWorkarea.TablePage.ID"])', document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, 

null); var node=xpathResult.singleNodeValue;   
// now fix it :)   node.style.height=
'100%';

Basically it just sets the enclosing DIV to 100% height which allows all the LPARs to be displayed.

In IE (v9 at least) you can right click in the disappeared blank panels and select 'refresh.' This brings back the contents without doing a full reload of the page.

I had bypassed this problem by keeping Firefox 3.6 installed alongside the most recent version.

Each time a new release of Firefox came out, I was hopeful that the issue was fixed. But it wasn't - until today!

Firefox 7.0.1 works properly with the HMC version 7.7.3!

Thought I'd pass this info on.

Now, as long as Mozilla doesn't break it again, I'll be happy. :-)
