On top of that, Disk Warrior is now $125. 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 & 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:ĭirectory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/48.0.2/ This version of Firefox is a close to ideal compromise. 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'm not sure if you intended to do that or if you just searched for 'Zotero' in the Firefox Add-ons pane and found that, but that's not Zotero. (If you're using Firefox as your browser, though, you should definitely upgrade.)ģ) You appear to be trying to install a third-party extension ('Google Scholar Citations for Zotero') into Firefox. But again, this isn't necessary to use Zotero Standalone and Word. If you want to use Firefox and can't upgrade your OS, you should install Firefox 45 ESR, which is the last version supported by Mozilla for 10.7. If something's not working with that, you'd have to say what it is.Ģ) Firefox 3.6.8 is ancient - many years old - and isn't safe to use. Zotero Standalone includes the Word plugin. 1) Again, if you just want to use Zotero Standalone, you don't need to install anything into Firefox to use the Word plugin.
