Has anybody else here used the TenFourFox version of Firefox?
It works quite nicely under OSX Leopard (except for the usual limitations with Flash).

Its quite a bit nicer than the last version of Firefox for this version of OSX (and no more annoying popups encouraging me to update my browser).

I'm reading your message with it right now. I am also using TenFourBird as my email client.

Both work great!!

Yeah, I'm really pleased at how much faster it renders paged than other browsers.
And it is up to date (a rare find for PPC browsers).

Yes, now and then during the last 2.7 years since it was initially released.

Yes I have been using it almost since it came out on various G3, G4, and G5 Macs. Works quite well.

Camino is no longer updated. Stainless started out strong but was abandoned a couple of years ago. OmniWeb development has slowed down to next to nothing the past couple of years. Opera and Seamonkey no long update the PPC builds. Apple no longer patches/updates Safari for PPC either. iCab has limitations under OSX 10.4 and I believe no longer updated for 10.4.

So the only browsers left being updated are TenFourFox and iCab for PPC Macs with OmniWeb questionable.

You can enable flash although it's not recomended.

> You can enable flash

Starting with version 18, enabling plug-in support isn't possible anymore.

Cool,

Like TenFourFox the original organizations no longer maintaining the code but someone else. Which is why I was unaware. I will have to download both and test them out on a spare machine.

Thanks

There's no need to build anything. Just download the latest DMG file, mount it and install.
