Microsoft has recently stopped the support of their Internet Explorer 6 browser due to the emergence of security vulnerabilities when using the browser. Downloading the latest version of your favourite browser will ensure you are viewing and using PearsonLongman.com in the best possible way, with all the latest functionality and in-built features. You will also notice a significant improvement in the speed and quality of your overall Web experience. Will I no longer be able to use Internet Explorer 6 when viewing PearsonLongman.com? What about other older browsers?
You will be still be able to use Internet Explorer 6 (or any other older browser) when viewing PearsonLongman.com, however any future functionality or new features may not be supported in these browsers. You may also find that some pages do not display properly. Which websites will this affect?
The decision to stop supporting Internet Explorer 6 will affect all websites maintained by the PearsonLongman.com Web Team. This includes websites such as www.market-leader.net and www.penguinreaders.com. When does support for Internet Explorer 6 end?
Support stops as of 1st April 2010. We will endeavour to support older browsers as much as possible but recommend that you upgrade if prompted, to ensure the best possible Web experience. How long will the message be in place on the website?
The reminder will appear if you are using Internet Explorer 6 (or some other older browsers) and will be displayed indefinitely until you upgrade to a more recent version. I am not using Internet Explorer 6 but I can still see your message - why?
Some browsers are built in the same way even though they are used on different platforms and this can occasionally lead to some web pages being interpreted and rendered incorrectly. For example, Mozilla Firefox version 3.5.8 on Mac is based on Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, so you will see the browser upgrade message in this browser because this message is designed to appear in Internet Explorer 6. Which browsers do you support?
We support the following browsers for PC:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 7
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 8
- Mozilla Firefox 3.x
- Safari 4.x
- Google Chrome 4.x
