    Have you tried using the java client rather than the native for RDP? You may have more luck. Remember it will have to be enabled the java client both in your RDP policy object and on the VIP itself.

Ahh, the browsers are all starting to dislike plug-ins. So you will have to force FireFox to install and run the add-on. You can override the setting to enforce the add-on signing requirement by changing the preference xpinstall.signatures.required to false in the Firefox Configuration Editor (about:config page). I'm not sure when F5 is planning on or if they are planning on signing their plug-ins and get them added to the various browsers' allowed lists/stores.
