(Also tried 3.6.25 but that appears to be an unsuitable Dutch version). Obviously pretty outdated, but even with attempted tweaks it was almost unusable.

latest FireFox browser in French, and this is where I'm having difficulties.įrom THIS OldVersion site I found and installed a FireFox French version 3.6.24. This configuration with a highly 'tweaked' FireFox 8.0.2 browser in English (updated from FireFox 10.0.1) worked a treat, and the laptop ran splendidly. I've changed the OS 10.6.8 'Snow Leopard' language to French. I'm preparing a 17' Intel MacBookPro2,1 for local sale here after having completely refurbished it. My query relates to an Intel MacBookPro2,1 2006 17' laptop, and knowing there is an active Club 17 thread on this forum and also a number of very knowlegeable guys here with pre-Intel PowerBooks and Intel Macbooks I thought this may be the best chance to get a reasonable answer to my query. If you go to a PDF, you'll just get a prompt to download it and you can then read it on your machine with Preview, Adobe Reader etc.I initially thought to post this in the Older OS X Version forum, then realised that there was nothing earlier there than OS Lion (10.7). UPDATE regarding PDF support: I forgiot to mention that the browser doesn't support reading PDF files by default. Have fun, I hope this post helps all those holding out on old but still great macOS versions.

uBlock Origin runs in that browser (press this link in Arctic Fox only): I have found a browser (Arctic Fox) which still supports OS X 10.6 / 10.7 / 10.8, is frequently updated, and is being supplied with the newest Firefox security updates:Īs the Internet is basically unusable without an adblocker, you're probably going to want one. The same is true for Firefox and Chrome, which stopped support for any macOS version below OS X 10.9 Mavericks long ago. One problem of using an OS X version this old is the browser: The internal Safari wasn't updated in ages, having lots of unpatched security issues. Frequently, people on this sub state that they are still using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, OS X 10.7 Lion, or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, either because they like these OS versions or because they are stuck with them as their machines didn't get newer macOS versions from Apple.
