I've been using FF for HMC access since zEC12 (I forgot what HMC version - 2.12 perhaps) because the IE on my work laptop (maybe IE 9 at the time) didn't play well with that version of HMC. I work from home 100% now and use my home machine mostly which means I have to use Citrix instead of VPN. However, IE at DR Citrix was IE8 which didn't work at all. I connected my laptop with IE 11 to my DR VPN and did some testing. Compatibility mode doesn't work at all for either integrated 3270 or the operator system messages. If you turn off compatibility mode (make sure "display intranet site in compatibility view" is not selected also), it seems to be working okay.
