>**The system requirements and browser recommendations are listed on the “Help” screen within WestlawNext.**



>**Essentially it is IE8 or IE9, Mozilla Firefox (current version or Extended Support Release versions), Google Chrome (current version), Apple Safari (5 or later).
IE7 actually has support with known limitations, so while supported, it isn’t recommended.
>Other browsers may work, but aren’t recommended. If customers have problems, they can report them and we appreciate the information, but they are advised to use a supported browser. The Browser Compatibility Team I am part of tests alpha and beta versions of the supported browsers before they become the current released version and we occasionally test other browsers. We worked with NPD to update the system requirements and recommendations.**

>**The current full text from the help screen is:**

>System Requirements
• Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 running:
• Internet Explorer 7; Internet Explorer 8 or later recommended
• Firefox current version or Extended Support Release Version 10
