I've run it on FF 3.6 and 10; I think it's fairly safe to assume it will 
work on all the intervening versions. I think saying we only support 
FF10 would not be a good idea. It might turn potential users away, 
because they think the RHQ GUI won't work on earlier versions of FF or 
Chrome. Remember FF 5-10 may as well have been 4.1-4.6; they were 
essentially minor releases that Mozilla gave major version numbers. I 
think we're safe to list all the versions that SmartGWT supports minus 
the browsers we do not gwt-compile for.
