Browser data properties

The browser data properties check browser prerequisites that can be common across all platforms, such as whether the browser is installed. For Windows systems only, it uses the browser collectors in the ips_root/lib directory, with the browser prefix identifier in their file names. For UNIX systems only, it uses the UNIX browser collectors in the ips_root/UNIX_Linux directory, with the browser prefix identifier in their file names.

Table 1 outlines the browser prerequisite properties that are common across all platforms. This category of prerequisite properties requires the browser prefix identifier. Other prerequisite properties check the version of specific web browser types, but they are categorized in other data categories. These prerequisites are summarized in Table 2.

Table 1. Browser data properties
Prerequisite property	Platform	Description	Valid values
`browser.Version`	UNIX	Checks whether any of the specified web browser versions are installed on the machine. The web browser type is specified by `browser_name` in the expected value and can be one of the following types: `Firefox` `Mozilla` `SeaMonkey`	String to represent any of the required browser versions that must be installed on the machine, in the following formats: `browser_name version_number[+]` For example: `Firefox 10.1` `browser_name version_number[+],browser_name version_number[+],[browser_name version_number[+]]` For example: `Firefox 10.1+,SeaMonkey 1.1.13+` Note: The values can use the `+` special character as outlined in Table 1.
`browser.Version`	Windows	Checks whether any of the specified web browser versions are installed on the machine. The web browser type is specified by `browser_name` in the expected value and can be one of the following types: `Internet Explorer` `Firefox` `SeaMonkey`	String to represent any of the required browser versions that must be installed on the machine, in the following formats: `browser_name version_number[+]` For example: `Firefox 10.1` `browser_name version_number[+],browser_name version_number[+],[browser_name version_number[+]]` For example: `Firefox 10.1+,Internet Explorer 9.0+` Note: The values can use the `+` special character as outlined in Table 1.

Table 2. Web browser prerequisites in other data properties
Prerequisite property	Platform	Description	Valid values
`internetExplorer. version`	Windows	Checks whether the specified version of Internet Explorer is installed on the machine	Numeric format, for example, `7.0+` Note: The values can use the special characters as outlined in Table 1.
`os.Firefox`	UNIX	Checks whether Mozilla Firefox is installed on the machine. The prerequisite property assumes that the path to the binary is set in the `PATH` environment variable; returns `Available` if it is installed.	`Available\|Unavailable`
`os.MozillaVersion`	UNIX	Checks for a specific version of Mozilla Firefox on the machine unlike the `os.Firefox` prerequisite property. Note: The prerequisite property assumes that the path to the binary is set in the `PATH` environment variable.	Numeric format, for example, `3.0+` Note: The values can use the special characters as outlined in Table 1.
`os.SeaMonkeyVersion`	Linux	Checks for a specific version of Mozilla SeaMonkey installed on the computer. Note: The prerequisite property assumes that the path to the binary is set in the `PATH` environment variable.	Numeric format, for example, `2.10` Note: The values can use the special characters as outlined in Table 1.
