Mozilla Firefox is a free, open source, cross-platform, graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation and hundreds of volunteers. The browser began as a fork of the Navigator component of the Mozilla Application Suite; Firefox has since become the foundation's main development focus (along with its Thunderbird mail and news client), and has replaced the Mozilla Suite as their official main software release.
Firefox includes tabbed browsing, a spell checker, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, and an integrated search system that uses the user's desired search engine. Functions can be added through add-ons created by third-party developers, the most popular of which include the NoScript JavaScript disabling utility, Tab Mix Plus customizer, FoxyTunes media player control toolbar, Adblock Plus ad blocking utility, StumbleUpon (website discovery), Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer (bookmark synchronizer), DownThemAll! download enhancer, and Web Developer toolbar.

[Mac] Trunk will require Mac OS X 10.3 at runtime, need to use 10.3 SDK
I thought that this was well-known information, but Benjamin said in bug 349777 that he hadn't heard about this at all. In order to support some of the new technologies in the pipeline for Gecko 1.9, we need to obsolete runtime support for Mac OS X 10.2. The new minimum system requirements will be Mac OS X 10.3. Some developers have been operating on this assumption for a while, and it may already be that trunk builds don't work properly on Jaguar. Specifically, we need to obsolete 10.2 in order to accommodate the new gfx layer and the cocoa widget toolkit. Builds that currently use the 10.2.8 SDK need to have their mozconfigs updated to point to a 10.3 SDK. On build machines running 10.3, this SDK is named MacOSX10.3.0.sdk. On build machines running 10.4, it's MacOSX10.3.9.sdk. Universal builds don't need any configuration changes, because the SDK is selected automatically and was already adjusted in bug 349777. Specifically, any configuration on the trunk that has this line: ac_add_app_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.8.sdk should be changed to this, if the build host is running Panther: ac_add_app_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.0.sdk or this, if running Tiger (although I don't think we've got any non-universal Tiger build machines): ac_add_app_options --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk Mark ...

Dropping Mac OS X 10.4 support in Gecko 1.9.3
In September of 2009 we stopped supporting Mac OS X 10.4 ('Tiger') on mozilla-central but we left much of the code required to support that platform in the tree in case we wanted to reverse that decision. We have come to a point where we need to make a final decision and either restore 10.4 support or remove this (large) amount of 10.4 specific code.

Dropping Mac OS X 10.4 support in Gecko 1.9.3 #2
While Mozilla may think that dropping support for Mac OS X 10.4 is a good idea, you're dead wrong. There is no need to do this; it's a short-sighted plan to avoid supporting well over a million users who are still running 10.4 for various reasons; i.e., they can't afford to upgrade their equipment; 10.5 and 10.6 drop or break features that work perfectly well in 10.4; that upgrading would require them to purchase new versions of software that works perfectly well under 10.4; or even that many people think both 10.5 and 10.6 suck.

Updated to Firefox 3.5.3, but version still lists as 3.5.2 (Mac OS X 10.4.11 on G4)
.. . . After upgrading to 3.5.3 (and doing a browser-menu Help>Release Notes opening a tab showing it's 3.5.3), I find the computer's hierarchical listing of applications still shows version 3.5.2, and selecting its icon for a command-get info brings a window identifying it as version 3.5.2. I can't find any other version of Firefox with a later installation date or in a different location on the computer, a 512mb-RAM 1.33GHz Power PC G4 5-yr.-old Mac mini with OS X 10.4.11 (the highest allowed on a non-Intel Mac). Why won't the listing show the current version num...
Firefox 3.0 on Mac OS X 10.3, Windows 2000
Name: Dan Email: irixdudeatgmaildotcom Product: Firefox Summary: Firefox 3.0 on Mac OS X 10.3, Windows 2000 Comments: Hello, I am absolutely loving Firefox 3.0. However I am only able to run it on Windows 2000 as my other office computers are Macs running OS X 10.3. Why is 10.3 not supported? A large number of newspaper, ad, and other publishing offices have a great deal of computers running NT 4 (which is no longer supported), Windows 2000 (which I hope will be supported in Firefox 4), and Mac OS X 10.3 (which isn't supported but I sure wish it was). I can understand no...
firefox 2.x updates on Mac OS 10.3.x systems
Name: Murray Pickard Email: mpickard9athotmaildotcom Product: Firefox Summary: firefox 2.x updates on Mac OS 10.3.x systems Comments: I just finished downloading the latest Firefox 2.x update, and was prompted after installing to download the latest Firefox 3.0 as 2.x has no more planned updates. Issue being that the 3.0 won't work on a Mac running OS 10.3.9 - so why prompt to download firefox 3.0? Fortunately I hadn't tried installing it yet, but still, don't bother to prompt if a person isn't running a current enough OS... Thanks, Murray Browser Det...

Firefox 3.0.3 on Mac OS 10.4.11 (and other, earlier Mac OS versions as well)
Name: merrick Burkhardt Email: merrickatmacdotcom Product: Firefox Summary: Firefox 3.0.3 on Mac OS 10.4.11 (and other, earlier Mac OS versions as well) Comments: Sadly, Firefox is awful on every Mac I've tried it on. I have a PC as well, and I love Firefox, it's the only browser I use on the PC. On my Macs, however... horrid. Speed is the main issue. Compatibility, etc, is fine. Launching FF takes ages. I can literally launch the same 2 home pages on FF and Safari by starting the apps fresh, and I will have loaded the page, then clicked and gone at least one new ...
Mac OS 10.3.9 Firefox updated to 2.0.0.9
Name: Mike Sipple Email: LuvBrdsatnetinsdotnet Product: Firefox Summary: Mac OS 10.3.9 Firefox updated to 2.0.0.9 Comments: The message that came on my screen said that if I downloaded this Firefox upgrade, I would have fewer dropdown windows mixed into my web pages. I had very few before, but as soon as I downloaded this 2.0.0.9 upgrade, I started getting quite a few of them. Any suggestions? I know you are buisy, but I couldn't find anyone else to ask.

I have Mac OS 10.3.9: Can't up upgrade to Firefox 3

My Mac doesn't have enough memory to upgrade to OS 10.4 or higher...I can't afford to spend the $$ on extra memory AND on a new OS...and there's nothing wrong with my Mac. It works fine!

Firefox 3 Beta 5 on Mac OS 10.3.9 references undefined symbols in Carbon

I'm using a PowerBook G4, running Mac OS X 10.3.9 with the latest updates from Apple.

- After digging into what Keyfixer does, I've put together an updated version 0.3 that should work for Firefox 2.0.0.14 and Firefox 3.0 beta 5 (tested on Mac OS X 10.5.2). The new solution performs patches instead of straight copies of the keymapping xml file, so I'm hoping it is more robust against future changes in Firefox.
- Even the Mozilla Firefox ESR version for OS X 10.6.8 is a year old now. Mozilla Firefox ESR last update for OS X 10.6.8 was last May 2017. So, no more supported web browsers for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, any longer. Here is the last Firefox ESR supported version here. Firefox 45.9 ESR.dmg install file here.
- Note: If you have Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or 10.6 (Snow Leopard), you will need to download OS X El Capitan before you can upgrade to the latest Mac OS. While insecure versions of Firefox will continue to work on OS X 10.8 and earlier, using an up-to-date version of Firefox on a supported version of Mac OS will provide you with the best and safest.
