Firefox 16 no longer supported by MAC 10.5
I just received a message from Mozella that FF16 is no longer supported by MAX 10.5 and I need to get a new computer? Has anyone else gotten such a message and what do I need to do?
TIA,
Bill
More details on doing this.
Get TenFourFox and basically continue using Firefox. It gets all the necesssary Firefox security updates and will use all the Firefox Add-ons. If you have an Intel Mac, it will run under Rosetta/PPC emulation, which shouldn't slow you down much, if at all--at least give it a try. All your bookmarks, everything, will still be there. It will use your current Firefox Profile.
Plug-ins like Flash are disabled by default, but they can easily be reenabled. Although I would leave out Java and use Flash with discretion (get the FlashBlock Add-on, which will set a placeholder for Flash content), since there are known Flash exploits for older versions of Flash.

the digital copy disc uses a power pc application that is no longer supported by mac os x, what can I do to obtain my digital copy?
If the OP is asking a generic question about how to run a CD-ROM, DVD or other disc that had an executable program that was a PowerPC application, he would either have to:
1. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into a partition on his hard drive or an an external hard drive, for "dual-booting" if his Mac will still boot into SL; or
2. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels to run his disc in Mt. Lion:

Is Firefox 3.6.19 supported in Mac OS X Lion?
I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.7. I am working on a project that uses a Firefox extension only supported in Firefox 3 versions. Lion says that Firefox 3.x is not supported as it is in PowerPC. I am aware that Lion dropped support for apps in written for PowerPC. However, I noticed one thing. I reinstalled Firefox 3.6.19 and it seems to be running just as fine. When I restarted, unfortunately, Lion once again keeps telling me I cannot run Firefox 3.6.19.
Any thoughts on this? I need Firefox 3 really. Although I also use Firefox 5 for the rest of my web browsing work. Thank!Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version that works on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

Is there a Firefox version capable of supporting my MAC 10.4.11?
I need a version of Firefox for my MAC 10.4.11 (which works - your forum replies indicate the suggested version does not) which I can then download. Thank you.
As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needed Mac OSX 10.5+ and '''Intel'''. As of Firefox 17.0 and newer one needs OSX 10.6+

Also not that the tenfourfox mentioned [http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported does not support Plugins] due to being old/insecure on PPC Mac.

Firefox 18 no longer works with Mac OSX v10.8.2 Mountain Lion
I have been running FireFox v17 with Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.2) without any issues.
The auto updater from Mozilla requested that I upgrade to FireFox v18, but since installing Mozilla FireFox crashes immediately.
The browser opens but then does nothing. If you enter a URL and enter then nothing happens. It just shows a continuos blank screen.
I wanted to make other Mountain Lion users aware of this problem and wondered if anybody else has had this problem? Please Mozilla, check this bug and offer an update and solution.
I'm using Chrome in the interim, which I really do not like as a developer.Hi cor-el,
Thanks for your advice.
I had already carried out the re-install and restarted the iMac etc.
This has not fixed the issue. When I start Firefox it opens fine but if I type in a URL and press enter then it does nothing. It is as though FF is dead!
I have repeated the steps, exactly as you suggested again, and nothing has changed?
This has never happened before? So I need to continue using Chrome, which I hate, until another solution is found.
Thank you and regards,
Sean. -
Is there a work around to the fact that MAC OS no longer supports software using PowerPC?
I can no longer use two interactive Pearson Pelican Plus interactive CD Roms in school because I get an error message saying PowerPC is no longer supported by Mac. My OS is 10.9.5.
Is there a work around?

Ella:
It is unclear from your post if your inability to use Pearson CD-ROMs occurred after you purchased a new Mac, or simply upgraded your current one to Mavericks.
If you simply upgraded to Mavericks, your easiest solution and best operating environment would be to use Disk Utility to partition your hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta) into that partition. You could then use the "dual-boot" process (System Preferences:Startup Disk) to determine with environment is operating on your Mac: Snow Leopard when you want to run the CD-ROM or Mavericks where you need more modern capabilities.
Note that if you must have the concurrent ability to run the CD-ROM and Mavericks, then, the previous information posted by others in this thread is your only solution and there is no point in your taking the extra steps to partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard.
The previous information provided to you is largely accurate except for one point that is irrelevant to your concerns and will only generate needless irrelevant repetitious responses if I point out what it is.
The great tragedy in today's USA society is the government's failure to properly fund education combined with the high amount and cost of student loans and their inability to be discharged in bankruptcy.
The combination of all of these factors leads educational publisher's such as Pearson no financial incentive to upgrade many of their essential products for the education market, including rewriting their CD-ROMs to work directly on Intel Macs without the addition of Rosetta, which is not longer supplied by OS X after Snow Leopard.
Having seen this problem posted on this forum quite regularly over the last few years, I purchased a demo CD-ROM from Pearson on Amazon and I am able to report that indeed they will run on a Mavericks (or Mt. Lion or Lion) Mac that has Snow Leopard Server ("SLS") installed into a virtualization program (in my case Parallels), as shown here:

Previous posts have described the telephone process and part number to obtain SLS from Apple for the now 95% discounted price of $20! Parallels offers a 14-day free trial download of Parallels (do not activate it until you are in possession of SLS):

'''Swarnava''', I do believe he has already been downloading and installing Firefox 9.0.1 three times already.
'''avowedrep''', your user agent appears as if it is Firefox 3.5.19 in more system details link on right of your post.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.19) Gecko/20110420 Firefox/3.5.19
See this on how to reset to default.

As for the ''"Warning: this version of firefox is no longer supported?"'' is sounds as if you still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used (Firefox 3.6.* and earlier) as '''about:home''' has been in use since Firefox 4.0
Either ignore the "You're not on the latest version of Firefox" message, change homepage to '''about:hom'''e, change it to another page or leave blank.

Hmm, yes. Didn't notice that. Looks like it's still in development. I haven't time right now to check further, but will do later on and report back.

When will firefox be able to support html files in embed tags again?
A previous question was answered here that stated that firefox did not work with html files in embed tags. Is this a problem that is currently being worked on, or does Firefox just no longer support this?
hello, a html file is no suitable content for an <embed>-tag. you'll have to use ''iframe ''or ''object ''for it instead...

Presently running mac osx 10.5.8. Recent Firefox update says it no longer works with osx 10.5 and it's no longer supported by apple. Any suggestins?
Use an earlier version of Firefox, use Safari, or upgrade to a later version of OS X. Any Intel Mac can run Snow Leopard.

Why is firefox no longer supporting osx 10.4 power pc mac
I think the question is pretty obvious. OSX 10.4 is left out of the current Firefox 4 update. Why? You are supporting a lot of lesser
used operating systems.jimmeans, if your company still has computers running Mac OS X 10.4 (especially PowerPC Macs) then you are no longer receiving security fixes for your operating system or browser plugins, and your data is in danger. Other major browsers like Safari are also no longer updated for Mac OS X 10.4 either -- so if you remove Firefox then you might not have any other browser to turn to. (At least Firefox 3.6 still receives security updates on these machines, while the OS and other software does not.) You should probably investigate updating your OS and/or hardware.
marivaux: Sorry, I am not familiar enough with TenFourFox to speak to the quality of their code. Most of the code is the same code as official Firefox 4 releases, and it should benefit from the many improvements that have gone into Firefox 4. Their team is working together with Mozilla, and we are happy to see their work. But if you want the highest guarantee of support and security from Mozilla, you should stick with the official Firefox 3.6 release. -
Firefox no longer working with Mac OSX 10.4.11
i'm using Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.12. As i understand it any of ur upgrades no longer work with this computer system. ( I tried to upgrade last week and ur site said upgrades no available gfor my platform version. Last week every time i conducted a search (default Google) i was redirected to http://search.creativecommons.org/?q=crossword+puzzles&sourceid=Mozilla-search.what gives? Have I been hijacked? also sites that I use daily are clipped and entire pages are smaller than usual . see www.shockwave.com
If u are no longer supporting Mac users, please let us know in advance or at least post it on ur site. Can no longer use Firefox...When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...
