Browsing RUP with Mozilla FireFox.

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains that to browse RUP® with Mozilla™ FireFox, the attached zip file needs to be downloaded. Without this fix, the RUP applet is too small and the height cannot be adjusted.

Cause

RUP 2003.06.13 does not support Mozilla FireFox out of the box. The supported browsers are mentioned in ...\Program Files\Rational\doc\rup_readme_sr.html:

Windows:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 with SP2 or later
  • Netscape Navigator versions 4.72 to 4.77 and 7.0

UNIX
  • Netscape Navigator 4.72 to 4.77 or later

Resolving The Problem

Proceed as follows to have RUP support Mozilla FireFox;

1. Download the attached zip file (applet.zip).
2. Extract the contents to a temporary location.
3. Copy the extracted files (3 htm files) to the ...\Program Files\Rational\RationalUnifiedProcess\applet folder, while answering Yes when the "Confirm File Replace" dialog is displayed.
4. While using Mozilla FireFox, open RUP (..\Program Files\Rational\RationalUnifiedProcess\index.htm).
