From the perspective of the Libraries' Barton catalog, I don't think it'll
make much difference. I'm already running Firefox on Windows, and Barton
works just fine.
We will be testing a new version of Barton over the next few months, for
early Summer release. That should correspond reasonably with the Athena
release.
When did Athena go to Mozilla 1.7.5? I've still got 1.7.3 with Athena 9.3.16.
