That doesn't sound grammatical to this native speaker, because you use "every" with singular count nouns and "firmware" isn't pluralisable - I'm not sure of its exact grammatical category but it feels like a mass noun to me. Besides, "does not work on all" feels more idiomatically correct than "does not work on every". "All firmware" is definitely better, but you could use "all firmware implementations" if you wanted to be crystal-clear. -- Colin Watson [cjwatson@ubuntu.com]
