Preferred Web Browser for Cognos Connection?

Post by mrnara »

What is the preferred web browser for use with Cognos (Connection v10.1)?
I used Chrome, and the "Launch Options" menu (between "My Area options" and "Help") did not appear, and it took me a while to figure out it was my browser and not some configuration/permissions issue.

I was at a Cognos user group meeting, and I saw some IBM-ers using FireFox during their demo.
Would that be a safer bet than Internet Explorer?
I've seen IE center-justify some web frames, while FireFox left-justifies them (or was it the other way around?)
