Most browsers will work reasonable well with CamTools, but as there are an awful lot of web browsers available now, and they often change very quickly. CamTools has been tested with Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8, and they're probably still the best browsers to use. Chrome, Safari, the latest version of Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 and 9 will also work, but if you find a problem, please try switching your browser, and mail the CamTools helpdesk with the bug so they can try to fix the problem as soon as possible.
