Known Issues
When viewing a Powerpoint or Excel spreadsheet users are being prompted by Firefox to install an add-on. Why?
Answer
The add-on is required for a feature of this plugin that we DO NOT support. Firefox is just being helpful.
When going to Stellar from wikis in Safari browsers, users can encounter a certificate error.
Answer
This can be fixed by clearing all Stellar-related cookies and restarting the browser.
When using the Rich Text Editor in IE 8, the page refreshes to the top after each autosave.
Answer
Confluence does not officially support IE 8 and as a result there are compatibility issues between the two. Users can use a different browser like Firefox when editing with Rich Text or use Wiki Markup when editing in IE 8.
