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.

Why is Win95 no longer supported?

I've read the release notes, but there is no explanation for why Win95 is no longer supported. Does anyone know where I can find Sun's official reason for stopping support of Win95? I'd like to support Win95 in my applications and not be surprised by Win95 specific issues.

Try looking on store shelves... do you see ANY products that still support Windows 95?

Firefox no longer supports your operating version and will be vulnerable to online attacks

Hey Firefox,
Long time user, first time writer. Lately, apropos of nothing, I've been getting a pop up stating:
"URGENT!
Firefox no longer supports your operating system version and will be vulnerable to online attacks.
<a>Learn More</a>"
And that doesn't sound like you guys. I'm using Mac OS 10.5. All my updates have been downloaded, the opening screen of this site tells me I'm up to date. Is this some kind of trick? I also have a screen shot of the occurrence, though not the url.
Please help. Thanks guys,
jen

Long time user and frustrated by this... is the solution to stop using Firefox? Because I certainly can't afford to go buy a new Mac just because I'm not eligible for newer operating system upgrades. My Mac isn't even that old... Suggestions?

I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8

I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8 . Any help would be appreciated

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Why does Firefox no longer display .php suffix web pages which are in my Mac?

I have a question about Firefox 14.0.1 displaying .php suffix web page files which are in a Mac running Mountain Lion OS 10.8. In eaarlier versions of Mac OS, for example 10.4.7, I was able to see properly displayed web page files with .html and .php suffixes when those web page files were in my computer. I refer to seeing the page as it should properly display, not seeing the source code. If a page had a .php suffix, the browser displayed the page properly although any php scripts embedded in that page were ignored.
Apple occasionallly updated its OS and browser makers occasionally updated browsers. One day, I noticed that Safari no longer displayed web page files in my Mac if those pages had a .php suffix. However, Firefox and other browsers continued to display web page files with .php suffixes although the embedded php scripts were ignored.
Now, I have Mountain Lion in iMac.
I can no longer see .php suffix web page files in my computer regarless of the browser I use. No browser displays those pages.
A .php suffix web page file which Firefox and other browsers display in 10.4.7 does not display in 10.8 if that web page file is in the computer.
In my computer, I have html and php suffix web page files I want to see using a browser. The files I want to see and the browser both are in my computer. Html files display perfectly with one exception: if php scripts are embedded in the html files, the scripts are ignored. A file the name of which ends with ".php" will not be displayed regardless of whether there is a php script in the file. Safari displays the source code only. Chrome does not display the file at all. Firefox and SeaMonkey, which displayed .php suffix web page files in earlier versions of the Mac OSm now respond to such pages by providing a dialog box which seems to assume that the file is about to be downloaded from the Internet. The dialog box asks me if I want to use the browser to open the file or if I want to save it to disk. The file is on the disk at the time, and the computer is disconnected from the Internet. I click that I want to use the browser to open the file. Then the dialong box reopens with the same question. This happens over and over. I never get to see a web page file in my computer the name of which ends with ".php". With Firefox 14.0.1, I can see .php suffix web pages which are on the Internet or in a 10.4.7 Mac but not in a 10.8 Mac. Did I miconfigure Firefox? It seems unlikely that Firefox lost the ability to display pages in Mac OS 10.8 which it displays in `10.4.7. How can I solve this web page display problem?

Haroon mentions two solutions. I used the easier one, which is to start the Apache webserver already in Mountain Lion and to enable the php already in Mountain Lion. It worked. I see the file correctly displayed with html, css, and php. I see the page by using Firefox. I enter an address in the address bar. For example, the address might be "localhost/example/example.php". I cannot see the page by using Firefox's "Open File ..." menu option or by dragging the file's icon onto Firefox's icon. I tried using your solution also but was unable to find the specific preference to modify. I found the page of preferences which may be modified but I could not find the one I need. I found a list of descriptions of the preferences at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries
but I could not find the specific preference which I need.
By the way, to enable loading the php module, one uncomments a line of code by deleting the initial "#" character, and one does that by pressing control key and "P" key while the cursor is over the "#" character.
Also by the way, when I use Firefox or Safari to look at the Apache web directory in which my files are, the files are listed case sensitively. For example, the files are listed: Ace, Zygote, bar. This is because lower case follows upper case. THis annoys me. I prefer case insensitive listing. When I llok directly athe directory without using a browser, the files are listed case insensitively. For example, they are listed: Ace, bar, Zygote. I guess taht Apache is doing this.

Can anyone tell me why I can no longer download CAD from iTunes onto my Mac pro ?

Can anyone tell me why I can no longer download CAD from iTunes onto my MacBook Pro ?

Sorry, but "CAD" meaning what?

Upgraded to OS X 10.9.4 and Safari 'is no longer supported' Also get the error when trying to run the App Store, ' PowerPC applications are no longer supported. This is on a MAC Book Air, purchased in late 2013.

Safari and the App store icons are both deactivated. I also cannot a software update check, as it gives the 'PowerPC applications are no longer supported error'
Very frustrating, cannot do anything with this laptop now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance. You can skip this step if you don't care about the data that hasn't been backed up.
Reinstall the OS.* Your data should be unaffected unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Why does Firefox no longer work with Slate or AIM?

1. On Slate.com I allow all scripts to run; however, even though most links on the pages work, I can no longer view comments in articles -- the function to open the comments simply does not work.
2. When I load the standalone desktop AIM program, until Firefox 37 I was able to click the mail icon and go directly to my AOL mail; this no longer works, but instead logs me out of AOL and I have to log in again.
I don't know if these are related, but both appeared when I allowed an upgrade to version 37.

Why does Firefox no longer launch when I double-click the icon?

I found an article on the support site that suggested creating a new profile, but the run command did not launch profile manager. I tried uninstall/reinstall, but it does not change behavior. When I click the icon, I get the hourglass for a moment, and then nothing. I'm on WinXP. On 10-14-11, I thought I saw a pop-up menu saying Firefox was updating (I did not initiate it, nor was I presented with a confirm pop-up), but it was very brief, so I'm not sure. After that day, Firefox would no longer launch. I've not made any system changes, or installed any programs.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Why does Firefox 4 not support Norton Passcards?

Downloaded Firefox 4 and find this does not support Norton status bar. This means I cannot use Norton Passcards whereas these always worked with previous version. If I revert to version 3 will the Passcards work again? If not I will have to uninstall Firefox and revert to Internet Explorer.

Symantec have made an update for their add-ons to work in Firefox 4, but they only listed them as compatible with Firefox 4.0, they need to update them to let them work in Firefox 4.0.1. For details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808

Why does Firefox crashes and support takes me around and around in circles

Firefox won't open and I get the crash reporter instead. I used to have firefox and was re downloading it, but now it just crashes when I try to open it. Online support does nothing but run me around in circles!!!!

With which Firefox version do you have the crashes?

I've heard that newer versions of Firefox no longer support RoboForm - is this true?

RoboForm toolbar is essential to me but friends have told me that when they updated previous versions of Firefox, they lost that capability. I don't want to chance it if they are correct.

Mozilla has blocklisted the 7.6.1 and earlier due to being a top crasher. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/i45
It is Roboform the supports Firefox, not Firefox supporting Roboform.
Roboform has supported Firefox 9 for several versions now. http://www.roboform.com/support/news

Why does Firefox no longer scale its size correctly with my new Macbook Pro?

hey folks, experiencing a weird issue and I'm not sure how to resolve it.
I've been using Firefox as my default browser for about a year, love it. I had been using a late 2011 Macbook Pro, sometimes just as a laptop, sometimes attached to a 4 year old external monitor. No issues.
A few weeks ago I switched to a new Macbook Pro with the retina display. When I use the laptop with my external monitor, the sizing of the app is all wrong. It's like super zoomed out. Web pages and text like the menus, bookmarks, etc..are so small I can't read them. When I use the laptop just as a laptop, sometimes Firefox looks ok, and sometimes it's showing this rendering problem.
I tried launching Firefox in safe mode without my plethora of add ons, no change in behavior.
I'm running what I think is the latest version of Firefox for the Mac, v 34.0.5. As an example, I could not read the version number, it was too tiny. I could see where it was so copied it and pasted it in here. And, I'm running the latest version of Yosemite, 10.10.1.
I'd love to get Firefox working again, does anyone have any suggestions. Right now I've had to go back to Safari as my default browser, which is ok but I do prefer Firefox.
One additional note: I'm not seeing this behavior with any other app. Everything else looks appropriately sized. The issue is only with Firefox. I appreciate any ideas any of y'all might have, thank you.

One more thing: even though Firefox said it was up to date, it appeared the latest version was 35.0. So, I downloaded and installed that, thinking maybe a fresh install would remedy this problem. No joy, still looks the same.
Bummer.
I'm attaching a screenshot of how the browser looks, for reference.

Why does Firefox no longer print?

Other browsers print fine but not Firefox. It happened out of the blue. I've been using Firefox for years. I don't understand it but know that I can't use Firefox now.

Hi BADPRINT,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Firefox prints incorrectly]]? There is some good troubleshooting information in there. I would suggest that you try resetting your print settings.
Hopefully this helps!

Just started getting "Firefox no longer supports your operating system version..." I don't care. How do I turn off this message?

Just started after the last update

I've started Firefox in Windows 2000 compatibility mode under Wine and got the Software Update window after a short time.
I see this pref on the about:config page: extensions.firefox-hotfix.unsupportedOSLastPrompt
Seems to be related to this extension: Firefox Notification Hotfix 20120430.01:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-hotfix/
You can try to disable or remove that extension on the Tools > Add-ons > Extensions page.
