Is firefox 5.0 compatible with non-intel based mac systems?

I downloaded 5.o previously this year & it wouldn't work because after downloading I discovered that it would only work with Intel based Mac systems. Has this changed? I don't want to go thru the download process again if it won't work.
Thanks.

No. as of Firefox 4.0 and newer from Mozilla you need both OSX 10.5+ and Intel.
Either you can still use Firefox 3.6.18as you are using (3.6.19 will be coming in some 5 weeks) http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Or use a third party version built for the old PPC.

Recommended HD Camcorder to use with non intel based mac?

I have been looking for an HD camcorder that is compatible with my mac. I was leaning towards the Canon Vixia HG20 but don't want to invest in something that will not work with my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions? Will the Canon Vixia HG20 work with my system? I don't have an Intel based mac.
_Here are my specs_
System: OSX 10.5.8
Processor: Dual 1.8 GHz Power PC G5
Memory: 3 GB DDR SDRAM
Software: Imovie 8.0

I went out and got the Canon HV30 camcorder and imovie is not recognizing it... anyone know if i need to do anything special to get it working?

Installing Leopard onto a Non Intel based Mac

My friend just bought a new intel based Mac Pro with Leopard. It came with the install discs. Is it possible to take those discs and install them onto a computer that is a Dual 1.8 GHZ Mac that does not have an intel processor?
Thanks in Advance

no, it's not possible. It's also against ULA but in this case it won't matter because this will not work anyway.
You need to buy a retail version of Leopard to install it on your Mac.

Is there a version of Firefox 4 for non-intel based macs?

I have an iMac with a 1.8 G% processor. The Mac Intel download will not work on my computer..

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

Graphite base station not working with my Intel Based Mac Mini and iPhone.

My Airport Express died after 2 years of use. I had to resort to plugging in my old but still functioning Graphite Airport base station. Since the set up assisant on my Mac mini does not work with the older base station, I used my G4 400 tower to set it up. I got it working and tested the connection. On to testing my iPhone. It sees the new network. Password is entered and the wifi icon shows full signal strength, but does not connect to the web. Next I try my Mac mini out on the new network and it too sees the network, but does not connect to the web. I double check the older G4 and the connection is still strong and fast. I shut the G4 down thinking that maybe the Graphite can only support one computer at a time, and the Mac mini and iPhone still can't connect to the web. I'm not sure what to do with this one. Is there a setting that I need to use? As far as security goes, the Graphite base station was set up with a WEP password. Any help would be great

I suggest using AirPort Admin Utility (version 4.2) to check the base station settings and change them, if necessary. (AirPort Admin Utility should be able to configure a Graphite base station from a computer running Mac OS X 10.4, even though AirPort Setup Assistant can't.)
In the Network pane of AirPort Admin Utility, please make sure that "Distribute IP addresses" and "Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT)" are checked, and that everything else is unchecked. I am assuming that the Graphite is the only router in your local network and that there are no computers connected via Ethernet.
The Access Control pane of AirPort Admin Utility should list either all of the relevant AirPort ID's or nothing. You can find the AirPort ID of an OS X computer by looking at System Preferences>Network>Show:AirPort>AirPort.
The Internet pane of AirPort Admin Utility should be set in accordance with your Internet provider's requirements. Most likely, it should be set to Connect Using:Ethernet and Configure:Using DHCP.
After verifying the settings, power down the computers, base station and cable or DSL modem for a few minutes, then start them up sequentially, leaving time for each to get fully up and running: first the modem, then the base station, and finally the computers.
The network preferences on the Mac Mini and the iPhone are also relevant. I assume that the preferences are unchanged from those that worked with the AirPort Express.
I hope this helps.

Parallel Deskop for non-intel based Macs?

I have a 2 yeay-old Powerbook and want to run similar to Parallel Desktop. But I look at this product and it is for Intel machines. Does a product exist to do this same Windows function but on a power chip?
Mike

Hi Michael!
Yes, Microsoft produces Virtual PC for PPC Macs. Have a look at this page on Microsoft's site <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/virtualpc.aspx?pid=virtualpc>.
Virtual PC will not be ported to the Intel platform, which means you'll only be able to use it so long as you continue to use your PowerBook. It's much slower that Parallels on an Intel Mac and is definitely not intended for gaming.
Hope this helps! bill

Question: Installing 10.5 on a non-intel based mac...possible?

Can someone clarify whether or not Leopard(10.5) can run properly on a PowerPC G5?
Thanks!

Not only can it run, it runs perfectly well. If you do install it, make sure to download the [10.5.2|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1052comboupdate.html] update immediately after you install it.
Leopard is quite different in many respects from Tiger, and has a lot of new features that will take a bit of practice getting used to, but it will be worth it.

I updated my windows 7 and when I did I received a message that firefox is not compatible with windows 7 updates. What happened?

I got a message to update windows. I updated. My computer said firefox was not compatible with update. I then tried to purchase Avast and it basically crashed my computer. I had help in restoring and when system was checked it showed two different firefox downloads that had not succeeded because they were incompatible with my system. I don't know enough about computers to understand what happened. I have a Dell Studio xps with Windows 7. Thank you.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

I'm getting the message: Firefox (4.0) is not compatible with this version of MAC OSX (10.4.11); how can I go back to Firefox 3.6?

Is Firefox 4.0 compatible with Mac OSX 10.4.11?
If not, is there somewhere I can download the older version of Firefox 3.6 that worked fine with my Mac?

How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.

There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.

I have Webroot Security and Firefox is not compatible with the malicious URLs part of the program? How do I protect myself?

When I downloaded Firefox and was checking my extensions, I was advised that Firefox is not compatible with the malware prevention part of my Webroot security package. I use it successfully with Windows and just renewed for another year. What do you suggest I do to protect myself? I am not a computer expert so if you could reply in plain language it would be appreciated. Also, we stream videos a lot and I noticed that DivX is also not compatible. What do I do about that? Thank you.

I was having this issue for Firefox version 7 and had to spend one hour trying to find a solution. Here is the solution. Go to webroot.com, tab to support and than 2011 product support. Type in Firefox Toolbar it will than say are you unable to use firefox toolbar hit yes. It will say under 1. click hear to download patch. Save the file and after the download run it. After installed close firefox and you should have the webroot toolbar running again.
ff7fix.exe is the file you need.

Firefox 5 not compatible with windows 7 apparently!! Need to downgrade to previous version. Computer crashes using ff but nothing else.

Microsoft's site says firefox 3 is compatible with windows 7. however, i've upgraded to firefox 5 and now system crashes to the blue screen.

I have a laptop running Firefox 5.0 on Windows 7 and don't have problem with it.
What I suggest you do in the first instance is to start Windows 7 using the '''Last Known Good Configuration''' which will load the operating system the last time it worked properly, instructions here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-Last-Known-Good-Configuration
Then do the following. 
#Use Internet Explorer to download Firefox from here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 5.0.1] and choose "'''Save'''" when you see the prompt and save it to your desktop. ''Do not choose "Run"''. 
#Next, uninstall the version you have at the moment via "Programs and Features" in Control Panel choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Next, reboot. 
#When the system boots to the desktop, delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\ 
#Run the installation file you downloaded earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
I don't know if your bookmarks can be retrieved or not, but the following procedure can be used to make a backup should they still be available. 
#Press CTRL+SHIFT+B to open the Bookmarks manager. 
#Click the link to '''Import and Backup '''and then click '''Export HTML '''and save the file somewhere.
You can use the same Bookmarks Manager to import the file you saved by choosing "Import HTML" should that prove to be necessary.

Is firefox 11.0 compatible with the gmail notifier?

i want gmail to be my default mail handler in windows xp pro, but it won't allow me do so. one suggested solution is to begin with g-mail notifier, and then proceed to several other steps. is firefox 11.0 compatible with gmail notifier? any other suggestions appreciated.

This is a little confusing.
Google has a program named Gmail Notifier that works at the Windows OS level. Since it isn't installed as a Firefox add-on, version compatibility shouldn't be an issue.
Download: http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/notifier_windows.html 
Default email client: [http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=10966&topic=1153986&ctx=topic Making Gmail your default mail application - Gmail Help]
There is an add-on named Gmail Notifier that was last updated for Firefox 3.6. That will not work in Firefox 11, but I don't think this one is what you're looking for.
Does that help?

Would PSE8 work with non-Intel G5 PPC Macs?

Just received the PSE8 package I ordered at school, and when ready to install on my Power PC (PPC) iMac G5 running under Mac OS 10.5.8, I decided to read the system requirements on the side of the box, and that's when I realized that only "Dual-Core Intel Mac" was listed.
I plan to buy a new iMac in the near future, but for the time being would like to know anything you may have to say about this compatibility problem I am facing. Do you know if PSE8 works with non-Intel Macs?
Thanks.

Thanks for the answer to my question. I was afraid of that, but had to check to make sure. Will probably rush the purchase of a new iMac at an educational discount or something.
Thanks again.

Webpage renders differently with PowerPC Mac compared to Intel-based Mac

While I am aware that http://www.medica.com is optimized for Internet Explorer [yuk! =) ], PowerPC-based Macs are able to fully render it.
Safari, Firefox, Camino, running on PowerPC work just fine.
Safari, Firefox, Camino, on Intel-based Mac does not render correctly.
Is this a known issue?
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You cannot "force" a PPC application to open in Rosetta. It does so automatically. Only universal binary applications can be "forced" to open in Rosetta.
The problem you're having is more likely due to an inherent incompatibility of the software to run correctly on an Intel Mac and Intel version of OS X. This cannot be fixed without the developer updating the software. I don't think this will happen very soon given the EMC hasn't been putting much effort into updating Retrospect in a timely fashion. Were I you I would look for an alternative to NetWorker that is compatible with Intel Macs.
Unfortunately, I don't have any specific suggestions for the same type of software. Retrospect is available in server-client versions but it is a PPC only application. It does, however, work on Intel Macs.
