Confluence 2.10 is supported in and developed against the following browsers:

The currently supported browsers are:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0
  • Mozilla Firefox 2.0.x and 3.0.x
  • Safari 2.0 (no rich-text editing), 3.0 and 3.1

We recommend using the latest production-level versions of these browsers: Firefox 3, Safari 3, Internet Explorer 7. Newer browser versions tend to perform better and have fewer bugs. In particular we strongly suggest using IE7 instead of IE6.

Support for Internet Explorer 6

Confluence will support IE6 until the 13th of July, 2010, in line with Microsoft's Support Lifecycle policy. Confluence 3.0 and future versions through 2009 will continue to support IE6.

Other Browser Support Issues

Rich text editing is not available in Opera (or Safari 2.0) due to Confluence's use of the TinyMCE 2.0 rich text editor component. See CONF-6428 for more information.

Confluence tries to be as standard-compliant as possible, but we only test against released versions of the above browsers. Many other browsers will work fine due to Confluence's general adherence to web standards.

Reporting Issues

If you come across an issue in a supported browser, please raise a bug in Confluence's public issue tracker.

If you come across an issue in an unsupported browser, please raise an improvement request in the same place. If Confluence's compliance with standards can be improved to also fix this issue, we'll leave the issue open for consideration. Unfortunately, we will not be able to fix bugs in unsupported browsers where our markup is valid according to the relevant standard and the bug is due to a problem with the browser itself.

In general, we will not fix issues with pre-release versions of browsers.
