What version of safari or firefox works on the 10.5.8

I'm trying to use a browser supported by a cloud program-and the 10.5.8 doesn't do much that is current. It was suggested that safari 5.1.7 should work as well as an older version of firefox (3.1.16)...will either of these options work on this older mac (ppm)? thanks. Or, suggest another browser version to try!

If you are asking about the PowerMac in your profile (thus with a PPC processor), the highest versions are:
Safari --- 5.0.6 (requires OS10.5.8, which you have)
FireFox --- 3.6.27
Neither gets any updating for security issues.
Camino is a good Mac browser that is still updated yet runs (at least for now) both Intel and PowerPC Macs from OS 10.4.11 to OS current versions:

Camino has some things I wish Safari did, like selective allowance/denial of cookies and pop-ups. It's lean and doesn't use add-ons so is quite limber. If you apprecitate what tying a one-ton weight to the top of a race car does, you'll appreciate Camino. We use it on most of our PPC Macs running 10.4.11 and higher.

    for the last 6 months my mac is crashing all the time. I think it is safari because firefox works fine. Any suggestions?

    What is crashing, is it just Safari or is the entire computer freezing (if that's what you mean by crashing)? If the latter, are you saying it only happens when Safari is open?
    You need to explain with more detail just what is happening and when.
    Do you get a message to restart?

    Thanks Allan for quick response.  I am trying to access my work emails from home but I can only see OWA light and not premium.  Apparently you need version 3.1 of Safari or higher to get premium and I am on 6.0.2 but still can only get the light version

  • What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8; also what is the most up-dated browser available for my system?

    What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8, and also what is the most updated browser available for my system?

    Sorry for my typo. Ofice 2008 will continue to run on Leopard and Leopard includes Safari 5.0.6. A G4 s an old machine and you will not get much speed when surfing the internet.
    Leopard is no longer avilable from Apple, and costs around $200 on eBay or Amazon.

  • New version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

    new version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

    When I try to open safari a message says: You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
    I see Recovery needs Wi Fi which is not available here and Recovery is loaded with a list of  potential disasters.
    To heck with Safari I'll just use Firefox. Apple sure screwed up here judging from the multitude of similar complaints on the internet.

  • What version of Safari?

    I (stupidly) downloaded the newest Safari version that doesn't work with OS 10.8.5.  I tried to download 6.0.5 and 6.1.6 but they don't work with OS 10.  What version of Safari do I need to download?.

    Since you have indicated that you have  a Macbook Air, additional RAM cannot be installed.  Installing an OSX is not a cure for operating issues and is only required if there are third party applications that will not run on prior OSXs.  If you want to install Yosemite, that is your decision.  Current MBA's are configured with 4GB RAM so I would believe that your MBA would be compatible.
    Note that you have posted in the Macbook PRO forum, but we will not hold that against you. 
    Ciao.

  • What version of Safari do I need for Gmail?

    What version of Safari do I need for Gmail? It says my current version (5.1.10) is outdated.

    Any, but if you continue to use an unsupported version, many of Gmail’s features will eventually disappear. Lion and newer contain supported versions of Safari; alternatively, you can switch browsers.

  • What internet security suites does Firefox work with completely?

    My Kaspersky internet website blocker and advisor won't work with the new Firefox update. This is why I am not updating. What security internet suites does Firefox work completely with. This is a constant problem with Kaspersky which is one of the higher rated security suites available. I don't like paying for security that Firefox disables.

    Toolbars and other applications bundled with anti-virus are usually not helpful in any way. I stay away from all toolbars simply because they are useless and offer no real protection other than annoying me.
    If you <s>ever</s> have Kaspersky or any other anti-virus installed, you will be protected. Every antivirus protects your whole system, not just a certain program. You will be fine.
    As for Firefox and Kasperky's toolbar not existing peacefully, that's a problem on Kaspersky's side. They need to keep up-to-date with Mozilla's roll out schedule. (Firefox 37 will be rolled out in 3 days). Contact Kaspersky for an update on their toolbar.

  • HT4972 what version of safari is on ios 5.1.1

    what version of safari is on ios 5.1.1

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    AFAIK, all that we know is that it is the version of mobile Safari that comes with iOS 5.1.1.
