I noticed the SNOW Windows client version 5.3.0 downloaded and is available in the Inventory Server 5 SMACC this morning. We just deployed the critical fix agent 5.2.4. I do not see the write up on version 5.3.0 to know if I should stop the 5.2.4 and push 5.4.0 or can it wait? What fixes are in 5.3.0?

Thanks,

  Where can I get those extensions for Chrome and Firefox? Are they part of the Agent MSI installer, or do I need to download them somewhere individually?
  
  Thanks,

What´s the Mozilla Firefox supported version for Cloud Metering?
On my machine: "Snow Web Application Metering is not compatible with Firefox 52.7.3"

  Hi Fabiano,
  I did research and found that the Snow Web Application Metering requires Firefox 57 alias Firefox Quantum.
