Where can I find an up to date list of Browsers (and Versions) Supported by Selenium Grid?

I would like to maximize the stability of my grid by using the most supported Web Browser versions. I can find a list of browsers on the SeleniumHQ website ...however this appears to be quite out of date, mentioning Firefox 7 for example.

Am I missing something?

Really Appreciate your advice, Kind Regards, Luke

That list, whilst out of date, is generally right.

You probably won't find an updated list (since the website isn't updated all that often), however I have just scraped this information from one of the Selenium mailing lists:

  1. Firefox: earliest ESR release and upwards, currently that is Firefox 10 and upwards.
  2. IE: 6 and upwards.
  3. Chrome: 12 and upwards

It must also be said the following two points:

Don't be too surprised if, as you go down in version numbers (older versions of the browser), you may end up hitting weird issues.

As Firefox has a quick release schedule, you can end up with the latest version of Firefox being completely incompatible with Selenium. This can be offset by disabling Firefox's auto-updates altogether (you could argue, that user's may not be updating straight away so your UI tests may not necessarily need to be run against the latest version).
