The Pale Moon project on the other hand focuses on Windows alone. That is why there’s Firefox for Windows, Firefox for Mac, and Firefox for Linux. On top of that, Disk Warrior is now $125.Mozilla wants to cover all popular operating systems with its Firefox browser.
#PALE MOON BROWSER FOR MAC MAC OS#
Nowadays the Mac OS is quite a bit more stable and reliable, Disk Utility/First Aid usually works well when needed, and a utility such as Disk Warrior is rarely necessary for your average user. That was impressive, but I haven't seen a post like that on a Mac discussion list in years now. Parenthetically, I remember that on most large Macintosh discussion lists, back years ago, about once or twice a month there used to be a message from some user whose hard drive had apparently "died" and that DW almost miraculously resurrected it. The upshot of it was that back in the days of the Classic Mac OS, Apple's included Disk First Aid wasn't particularly effective, and that disk problems came up often enough that Disk Warrior (or similar, but DW was the most popular), was both a godsend and almost a necessity. We had an interesting discussion on TidBITs Talk a while back, with the subject "Looking For Disk Warrior Justification." Maybe it is available in the list's archive. Here's a third party video i found on youtube talking about Arctic Fox. Hope that helps clear up the confusion one might have. Toss it on an Intel machine and it's a whole new browser. As for TenFourFox, yes on an old PowerPC G3/G4 it is slow. However most popular ones are supported, or are forked.įourth. Most will, some need minor modifications, and some just wont work at all.
#PALE MOON BROWSER FOR MAC CODE#
Pale Moon & Arctic Fox are not firefox rebrands, but forked and diverged enough to not be 100% FF compatible as their code moves further and further away from mozilla/chrome code. Using a mobile UA to lighten the load, and using a native video player to handle streaming video is less cpu intensive than html5 on old hardware. Many people are using old G3/G4 machines that just don't have the horsepower to handle such things. The only reason that's mentioned on github/macrumors is because we also have powerpc linux builds. Arctic Fox can easily play youtube natively, handle most all heavy JS sites, and use many extensions. The latest PM28 dropped 10.6 support, but still supports 10.7+. Only a few small kinks left to work out that don't impact usability or browsing experience however. We are working towards "official branding". However they should be considered beta, much like firefox nightly builds. Pale Moon has had Mac builds for 3-4 years now. You can set Firefox to be your default Web browser within Firefox:įirefox menu -> Preferences -> General -> Always Check That Firefox Is Your Default Browserįirst. It is fairly modern, it supports HTML 5, and it is completely stable under OS X 10.6:įirefox (48.0.2) (free) Directory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/48.0.2/ This version of Firefox is a close to ideal compromise.
#PALE MOON BROWSER FOR MAC ARCHIVE#
The perfect solution would be to find an older version of a modern third party browser that isn't so new that it doesn't support OS X 10.6, but which is new enough that it supports all or most modern Web technologies.įortunately, Firefox has an archive of all past versions for download! Unfortunately Safari in Snow Leopard has become severely dated and it is now unstable and incompatible with some Web sites.Īlso unfortunately, many modern third party Web browsers aren't compatible with OS X 10.6. It can't be upgraded without upgrading the entire OS. Safari in OS X 10.6 is tied to that version of OS X. I still have an old iMac in my office running OS X 10.6.8 so that I can still use some legacy software.
