From experience with university "enterprise" apps, the chances that any
of them are verified compatible with the cutting-edge version of
firefox is around zero. Having them compatible with the ESR version is
ambitious enough. The people maintaining these apps at your university should
be providing lists of what is compatible. You can't go by the vendor
sites, since you generally can't know what versions are in use.

I also suppose that within a couple more releases, Firefox 10.x will cease to
be a supported ESR version, and TUV will have to move to 17...
