Josh, No, as long as DCHP is activated and you have an account with Comcast, you should be all right. I run Firefox and the "preferred" browser by the tech help is IE. Comcast runs on Firefox and most of the other browsers. I don't run Comcasts craptacular on Windows either. Only issue I had even with Windows was that when I got a newer Cable Modem I had to call tech support and they had to enter the model and serial number of the cable modem.
