Firefox has moved to a rapid release update cycle, with new versions being pushed out on highly accelerated schedules. Unfortunately, this can cause problems with a variety of web applications, including ANGEL. ITS recommends that users disable automatic updates to Firefox in order to assure compatibility with campus applications.
