Firefox compatibility with Sharepoint is not ideal. While pages will generally display fine there are little issues and quirks (e.g. lack of rich text editing for CEWP) that make Firefox rather unusable for your daily Sharepoint customization.
Using Firefox as your primary browser and launching IE for any Sharepoint-related tasks is an option. A rather cumbersome one though. Did you know you can keep your beloved Firefox as your default browser and use it for working with Sharepoint?
The IE tab Firefox extension will allow you to display pages in Firefox but render them using Internet Explorer engine.
The add-on works great – once you’ve installed it, go to the IE Tab Options dialog box and add the path to your Sharepoint site on the Sites Filter tab. From now one anytime you click on a link to your Sharepoint pages (e.g. workflow notification email link) the page will load in Firefox but will still offer all the formatting and features you’d expect from IE.

Thanks for this. We use this trick here. Wondering if you’ve ever had to manage using Sharepoint within a Linux environment? There are aspects we just can’t get to function and we’re hoping for some sort of work around. For instance task assignment.
I’m afraid I have never had to use Sharepoint from a Linux client and so won’t be able to help here
