G3 iMacs; will Firefox 4 not release for OS X 10.4.11, or am I not trying hard enough to make current OS X run on deprecated Apple hardware?

Since it's lovely for audio, and was fine with w3m in its time, I still have an iMac DV SE 400MHz (G3, tops out at 1GiB DDR, OS X 10.4.11) around. (Though I ''am'' tempted to fit in a Xilinx with CPU cores, cache, DDR3, USB3, NV14, HDMI, etc.)
Ff4 takes OS 10.5.x and up.
Clearly canvas and many HTML5, WebGL, etc. components can not run, per se, on old hardware.
Should I therefore seek a refit of OS 10.n (n >= 5) to tolerate the hardware, or a revision/spin/fork/??? of Firefox? (Using appropriate dev hardware, unless cranking out a rocking OLPC-ish dev/emu tool is a desirable side-effect.) Cues to appropriate search keys for bathtub-curve-filling optimizations are appreciated.

Mozilla are not making a version for PPC Macs, the minimum system requirements are OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third-party version of Firefox 4 for OS X 10.4 and PPC Mac, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • Will Firefox be adding support for .bit domains?

    There is a new decentralized domain name system that has been built called namecoin. The problem is that no browsers support it currently so the only to view the domains is through complicated software or proxies. I am wondering if there are any plans on adding support for this system to Firefox?

    Not directly as is looks like dns.bit is not working, but it looks like you need a proxy [http://dot-bit.org/HowToBrowseBitDomains#Use_a_DNS_server_that_support_.bit_domains]
    Have you tried this?
    Also Firefox will simply 'asks the system to resolve a fqdn'(ty Cork!)

  • When will Firefox mobile be available for LG Optimus M?

    My LG Optimus M apps market gives me the message, "The requested item could not be found" when I try to download mobile Firefox on my phone.

    Mobile Firefox is not compatible with the LG Optimus M as it requires a newer type of processor. The LG Optimus M has a processor that supports ARMv6 architecture, but mobile Firefox requires a processor that supports ARMv7 architecture.
    You '''may''' be able to run the experimental ARMv6 builds, for details see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android

  • Why will Firefox 4 not run on my Mac G4, OS 10.4.11?

    When prompted and encouraged by you yesterday I downloaded Firefox 4. However it was not possible to use it because it came up with the message that It "is not supported by this architecture" I then found that I could not run my earlier version of Firefox 3.6.16. So I had to delete all firefox versions, and redownload version 3.6.16 losing various previous settings in the process. I am now using the old version once more quite successfully but I am concerned that you will not be supporting it for very long

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • When will Firefox have Adobe Flash for Android cell phones?

    My website requires Adobe Flash Player to be installed to view images in my photo gallery. Why doesn't Mozilla Firefox support Adobe Flash Player? Will it be available in the very near future? This is an extremely important feature for my site.

    Firefox can use Flash if it is on your device, although this may not always work perfectly. But Firefox never comes with Flash bundled in (I think this is due to Firefox using an open source software license).
    This article has a link for installing Flash from Adobe's site: [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?]].
    Regarding the design of your gallery, how does it work on Apple iOS devices that can't run Flash due to Apple policies? Maybe there's a similar "fallback" technique that can work on Firefox for Android if the user hasn't installed Flash.

  • When will Firefox have a solution for the 'McAfee site advisor' problem in the new version 5 of the browser?

    I love Firefox and always keep it updated with the latest version, but the new version 5 keeps saying that McAfee Site Adviser will be disabled when I upgrade. So, I haven't downloaded the upgrade. I also love and depend on my site adviser and I'm not willing to loose it. Is Firefox working on a solution for this problems and if so, when do they expect to have a solution in place?
    Thanks for a reply,

  • Will FireFox 5 have support for websockets?

    I was just wondering if Firefox 5 will have support for websockets enabled or will it continue to be disabled like in Firefox 4?

    As stated on the bottom of the page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/WebSockets, it's disabled in Firefox 4 and 5 because of a security problem, but will be enabled by default on Firefox 6

  • When/If there will be an Android release for the mobile apps?

    I know that resolution, size and configuration on the Android side of things can vary quite a bit but the Samsung Note line is primed and ready for more art applications to give Autodesk a run for their money.
    Although with the technology being all in the pen the Galaxy Tab, Kindle fire HDX and Nexus models would also be viable with their high resolution screens.
    Any news on if there will be an android version?

    No plans at the moment. Sorry.

    Hello:
    I have an HTC HD2 phone purchased via T-mobile about 3 mos. ago. I'm a firm believer and User of Firefox, I wouldn't use any other system again. But, I don't see a download for this phone.
