Firefox for Desktop. Get the not-for-profit-backed browser on Windows, Mac or Linux. Firefox for Android. Get the customizable mobile browser for Android smartphones. The actual developer of this free Mac application is Mozilla. The unique ID for this program's bundle is org.mozilla.firefox. The software is included in Internet & Network Tools. The most popular version among the application users is 4.0. This free software works fine with Mac OS X 10.5 or later. Keeping web browsers up to date with the latest version is almost always recommended for security purposes, and right now that's particularly important with Firefox because the US Department of Homeland Security has acknowledged a Firefox security exploit that could cause the takeover of a targeted computer and is thereby urging Firefox users to update to 72.0.1 (or later) right away.
- Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU iPhone OS 83 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/600.1.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) FxiOS/1.0 Mobile/12F69 Safari/600.1.4 Firefox Web Runtime The Web Runtime uses the same user agent string as desktop Firefox.
- We're not only compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5, but we also build our browser specially optimized for your G3, G4 or G5, add AltiVec TM JPEG, HTML and WebM decoding acceleration for G4 and G5 Macintoshes, and soup up JavaScript performance with IonPower, our best-in-class just-in-time PowerPC script compiler.
The open source group confirmed on Tuesday that, following heated discussion from the Mozilla community, it would only support Mac OS X 10.5 or later when it released the next iteration of its browser.
'We believe a Mac OS X 10.5 minimum will allow us to provide the best experience possible to our users,' said Mozilla Mac programmer Josh Aas in a mailing list message.
The decision was essentially an academic one after Mozilla confirmed plans in early February to release version 1.9.3 of its Gecko rendering engine later this year.
At the same time support for Tiger will be dropped altogether, even though the Mozilla Foundation estimated that nearly 1.5 million Mac OSX 10.4 users are still surfing the web with Firefox 3.5. Meanwhile 36,000 Tiger-fanciers are running Firefox 3.6, which is Mozilla's current version of its popular browser.
Mozilla spun out Firefox 3.6 earlier this year, which does support Tiger.
'This does not affect current users of Firefox, or updates to Firefox 3.6: Mac OS X 10.4 will continue to be supported via Firefox 3.6 until its end-of-life (not yet scheduled),' said Aas.
'Thanks to everyone who provided input on this issue. We believe a Mac OS X 10.5 minimum will allow us to provide the best experience possible to our users.' ®

Firefox Legacy
Firefox Legacy is an unofficial modified version of Mozilla Firefox that works on older Mac OS X versions, including 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, and 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Download it now and breathe new life into your old Mac.
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
Current version for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion: 71.0p2 (2020-09-15)
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT UPDATING TO v71: A new Firefox profile will be created when you update from earlier versions to version 71.0. To restore your previous data, type 'about:profiles' in the address bar, then find your previous profile (if you can't tell which, try each one) and set it as default. Then, restart Firefox Legacy. I apologize for the inconvenience; the cause of this issue is not known.
OS X 10.7 Lion
Firefox Mac Os X 10 4 11
Current version for OS X 10.7 Lion: 68.12.0p3 (2021-01-24)
Now featuring support for numerous newer web standards, including Push, Service Workers, Feature Policy, ResizeObserver, Promise Rejection Events, more of the Animations API, and several CSS features. This should improve compatibility with many websites.
For security and privacy reasons, starting in version 68.12.0p3, support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1, HPKP, and the Battery API is disabled.
Firefox Mac Os X 10 4
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Only Firefox 52 is available for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard; it will not be updated to a recent version due to technical limitations of the OS.
Note: the program is called 'Nightly' due to licensing restrictions prohibiting the use of the official Firefox branding.
