Does Outlook Web Access work with Firefox?

From what I read, it almost sounds like it requires IE, but can that be?? I can't find a definitive answer. Thanks!

As far as I know it does. I usually use firefox and logged into my email via OWA this weekend.

Yes, it does, except that it displays it a bit differently than IE. It's still fully functional, however.

Depends on which verison, I think. I tested OWA with Exchange 5.5 and it didn't work with Firefox.

Cool, thanks. We're thinking of going to Exchange, but a coworker implied that OWA required IE, and this article http://www.infoworld.com/artic...2/03/49enterwin_1.html sort of makes it sound like that, too. I was just wondering if it required some goofy ActiveX controls or something. Guess I won't worry about it! Thanks much!

It most certainly could be. It's scary how many applications specifically use IE only features. But fortunately I've had a similar experience to the others here in that it seems to work fine.

I just tried mine (OWA with 5.5) and it works just fine.

Not only does it work, it works a *lot* faster. Since FireFox cuts out all the scripted MS crap it has a lot less to render.
