How can I get Hyperion to work in Firefox?

Follow these instructions to get the Hyperion budgeting tool working in your web browser.

Requirements:

You must be using a computer that has Firefox installed.  These instructions work on both Mac OSX and Windows.

Instructions:

These instructions were based off of Firefox v38.0.5.  Newer/older versions of Firefox may look different.

• Launch Firefox.
• Open the Application menu, and click Add-Ons.
  

  

• From the menu on the left, click Get Add-ons.
  

  

• In the search field at the top, type in remote-xul-manager and press Enter or click the magnifying glass icon.
  

  

• In the list of add-ons that appears, locate Remote XUL Manager - Signed and click the Install button.
  

  

• Wait for Remote XUL Manager to download and install.  When it’s done, the Install button will disappear, and three buttons will appear - Options, Disable, and Remove.  Click the Options button.
  

  

  On computers running Mac OSX, there will be a Preferences button instead of an Options button.

• The Remote XUL Manager window will appear.  Click the Add... button.
  

  

• In the Add domain dialog that appears, enter the full domain name of cwbprod.adm.ubc.ca, and click OK.
  

  

• Close the Remote XUL Manager window.
• Launch Hyperion.
  

  Generally, a restart is not required.  However, if the above steps do not work for you, close Firefox, reload it, and launch Hyperion.
