Requirements for Third-Party Software

For example, if you are using an Oracle WebLogic Server, an IBM WebSphere Application Server, or a JBoss Application Server, you might need to apply a patch before installing the maintenance release. For Web browsers (such as Firefox), you might want to review the operating systems that are supported.
