    FireFox 4 supported by Telerik AJAX and MVC components

    Right after the official launch of the new major version of the FireFox browser (you can download it from here) I asked our web teams to test the Telerik AJAX and MVC components against the latest version of FireFox.

    Two steps installation

    1st click, 2nd click and you are ready to go. These are the steps required to install any Telerik product as of the Q1 2011 release.
