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/

Netgroup support in Mac OS X (Lion)

Hello,
We have a small network here with primarily OS X desktops and RHEL/CentOS servers. There is some discussion about adding some sort of central authentication/authorization server, with an eye to planning for future growth as well as gaining expertise that may be needed for some client projects.
I haven't worked with OS X in some time, however I've recently worked on a project where we implemented AD + netgroups for a windows/linux network. I thought I might be able to use this experience to do something with OpenLDAP + netgroups in the current environment, however, I found very limited information on people's experience with Netgroups in a Mac environment.
eg. this post suggests Netgroups might be problematic, but it was quite some time ago https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1281259?start=0&tstart=0
Anyone have more recent experience?
basically, I want to be able to allow/restrict users coming from Mac OS X desktops to RHEL/CentOS servers, grant/deny access to ssh, maybe Samba shares etc
I'm willing to consider Mac Open Directory, would prefer not to go the AD route.
Mac newbie question: is there an alternative to netgroups for the Mac environment, ideally that would also be compatible with linux?
Thanks,
Simon

Cor-el - - Thanks! this looks like it has some good clues, BUT, in following up, my Library doesn't show me any .plist with .mozilla. in the filename. Am running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2). FYI - The Library is one of only four (4) folders in the root level on the system partition; the system partition being labeled, Mac Mini HD. These four folders are, Applications, Library, System, Users. Library folder has a subfolder named Preferences. None of the files therein has "mozilla" anywhere in the filename. Looking further, the System folder has its own subfolder labeled, Library! It has no subfolder, Preferences. Running a Finder Search on the Mac, and again on the Mac Mini HD (root folder), I get Zero (0) results with "org.mozilla.firefox.plist." Also, with Contains ".mozilla" and with Contains ".firefox.".
Will greatly appreciate a bit more hand-holding from you, if OK with you.

I can't open a PDF in Firefox 5.0.1 running on Mac OS X Lion -what plugin is needed?

I just installed Mac OS X Lion on my iMac, and now when I click on a web page with an embedded PDF, I get a blank page with the "click here to download plugin" icon. But when I click on the icon, I get a window saying a plugin can't be found. I am NOT running Abode Reader (apparently it doesn't work to open browser PDF's), just the native Preview app.
Can you help?

My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?

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+

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.

Firefox 3.6.x and Firefox 5 keeps on crashing on Mac OS X Lion.

I have recently upgraded to lion (about a week ago). Since then firefox 3.6.19 has crashed maybe 1-4 times. Today I decided to test firefox 5 but only after 1 minute and no tabs opened firefox 5 crashed. Firefox 3.6 crashed about 2 times today. How can I fix this???

Along with the crashing I also get the mac spinning pinwheel that means it is unresponsive. This happens constantly...

Firefox problems on one of two Macs running Mountain Lion

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on my two Macs. On the MacBook Air using Firefox 14.0.1 some pages in "my account" at Amazon's site and the my.yahoo.com portal (when signed in to the account) are wonky. '''Note: the portal page of my.yahoo.com looks fine if you are not signed in. It only gets jumbled if you're trying to view the custom home page for your account.''' The same is true of Amazon. the general site looks fine; it's only when you try to view deeper pages, such as "my account." I've seen similar problems at a few other sites, as well. All sites are fine in Safari. Text overlaps paragraphs, images missing, etc.
No problems on the MacBook Pro, also running Firefox 14.0.1

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

MAC OS X Lion

Hi, some users wanted to upgrade to the new MAC OS X Lion. But after some checking on our part we found that /usr/local/novell/zenworks/umia/zenumia is no longer supported. Because PPC is no longer supported with MAC OS X Lion. This is part of the Inventory-Only module on MAC. So when can we expect an update to fix this?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Will Firefox 4.0 ever support Mac OS X 10.4.11

When I downloaded 4.0 and tried to open it I got an error message that said it can't run on this version of Mac OS X. I run 10.4.11 is Firefox just going to abandon older Macs?

Aha, a PPC Mac!
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a later version installed.

I cannot update my firefox. I am running on MAC OS X 10.6.8.

I cannot update my firefox. I am running on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I will begin the update process but it will never complete it - often crashes before it finishes the process. Any recommendations?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

I've Firefox 6.0.2 and Mac OS X Lion. I can't 'Pause' any download in 'Downloads' window..!

Hi!
My system is:- Mac Pro (Early 2009)
2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors
Memory: 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
Operating System: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1
I am using the latest firefox 6.0.2. Problem is that while downloading, if I try to pause a download in 'Downloads' window, then nothing is happening and download still goes-on. If I do cancel, then it cancels the download..!
Please provide some solution.
Thanks.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I get Firefox 4 tot install on my Mac OS 10.5.8 ?

Firefox 5 Crashes Repeatedly in Mac OS X Lion

I have been using Firefox 5 on the Mac OS X Lion developer preview for a few days now, and Firefox crashes over and over again.
If I have more than 2 tabs open, Firefox can't last more than 20 minutes without crashing. I have submitted multiple crash reports.

Hi John99,
Thanks for TRYING to help, but you're not really helping by telling us to try a version of Firefox that is 2 down from the current (and SHOULD be stable). This support board is supposed to help the developers to fix the bug and release a NEWER (not 3.6.X) version of the browser.
I am also running Lion GM with Firefox 5 and I do have the same problem as reported initially. Apple fixed/broke something in Lion that caused this problem. Mozilla needs to figure out what that is and fix their software.
That is all. '''Please escalate this bug because Lion will be out in a week or two.'''
Thank you!
