Q&A and troubleshooting

Can someone from Victron VRM development team come clean and make an announcement about VRM browser compatibility?
Up till 28.11.2024 my browser was capable of viewing my instalation on VRM.
After that day it stopped. I can only see totally unresponsive login page. There is no active link on that page.
I reported that problem here:

Someone from Victron asked me for specific information on my browser.
I did provide it, but up till now I got big fat ZERO as an answer.
I would by nice to know what browsers are compatible with current version of VRM.
I would not want to spent money on upgrading my computer only to find out that I am still not compatible.

Edge should work…and costs nothing…

3

Edge does not work on my computer.

4

What do you have ?

5

MacPro2.1, MacOS 10.9.5, FireFox 78

6

As i always say : those are toy’s, not computers :wink:

I think there was a note somewhere regarding chrome, but I’m not into vrm.

Can you run windows on your mac ?

7

Yes, I can run Windows on this computer but programs I run on it do not run under Windows.

8

No, but edge will…

9

I rather give up on VRM.
I do not thing that Victron will be happy loosing customers this way.

10

Ah, most people have at least one windows pc at home or run windows on a mac.

11

Most, but not all.

12

Can you upgrade Firefox? Version 78 is very old.
I run Firefox 128.5.2esr. No VRM problems for me on this Firefox version.

No, I cannot. Firefox 78 is the latest version working on MacOS 10.9.5.
Firefox 115.18 works with current VRM. I do not know for how long. This is a version that I use on my wife’s MacBook Pro.

So the problem is entirely yours.

No, its up to you to keep your tools to standard , working with computers that were outdated 10 years ago isn’t wise.

Just use your wife’s computer, she seems openminded.

17

Yes you are correct. Customer is always wrong. My computer is perfectly OK for accessing 3 different banking sites. They have no problem with my browser. Victron does not care about customers with older computers even thou there is no reason for excluding them.

18

I’m sure they didn’t push you out purposely, but a company building state of the art electronics is allways more progressive then a bank.

You expect the most sofisticated products from Victron , constant updates and ever improving technology, but are not willing to keep up with them.

We can end the discussion here, use your wife’s computer or quit vrm, your decision

I suggest you read my first post again. With understanding this time.

Old browsers are not secure so do not use them for banking please.
