User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0 Build ID: 2015080900 Steps to reproduce: I am a lawyer and engineer and Linux user. The State of Texas has recently moved to mandatory eFiling of pleadings in a majority of its 254 counties, and have mandatory eFiling in all counties by June 2016. Attempting to access the official government eFiling site at: https://efile.txcourts.gov/ results in a blank page with error text that reads: <quote> eFileTexas This Web browser is not compatible with this site. Try using a compatible Web browser. </quote> There are currently no supported silverlight plugins for FF 38.2 and the moonlight plugin has not been maintained in over 2 years and is currently offered as source only from GitHub with a "compile & pray" suggestion. Actual results: As mentioned above, instead of being able to access https://efile.txcourts.gov/ to file the required necessary pleading today, I received an error that Firefox is no longer compatible with this State of Texas web site. Expected results: The normal interface for efile.txcourts.gov should have opened and I should have been able to file the response due in Angelina County. According to the mozillzZine forum thread, there are no workable solutions for the current firefox.
This is a screen shot of the error from the Official Texas site for https://efile.txcourts.gov when accessed by Firefox.
¡Hola David! Does https://efile.txcourts.gov/ofsweb work for you? Kindly update your Firefox to version 41, see https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/ ¡Gracias!

I haven't had any more problems (other than an awkward GTk+3 interface), but FF 52 can access the site. Sorry for the delayed response.
