The latest version of Firefox does not support Mac OS X 10.4.

Mozilla, an open-source software organization, has officially announced that it will abandon Apple's Mac OS X 10.4 operating system in the upcoming New version of Firefox, despite the dissatisfaction of some web browsers. After intense discussions by the Mozilla group, Mozilla confirmed on Tuesday that when the next version of Firefox was launched, this new version of Firefox will only support browsers of Mac OS X 10.5 or later versions.

Mozilla Mac programmer Josh Aas said in the mailing list that we believe that the minimum support for Mac OS X 10.5 will allow us to provide our users with the best possible experience.

After Mozilla confirmed in early February that it would release version 1.9.3 of its Gecko rendering engine later this year, this decision is actually an academic decision.

At the same time, the new version of Firefox will give up its support for the Tiger operating system, although Mozilla predicts that nearly 1.5 million of Mac OSX 10.4 users are still using Firefox3.5 to browse the network. At the same time, 36 thousand of Tiger enthusiasts are using the Firefox3.6 browser. This is Mozilla's most popular browser version.

Mozilla launched Firefox3.6 at the beginning of this year. Firefox3.6 supports Tiger. Aas said this decision will not affect users who upgraded to Firefox3.6. Mac OS X 10.4 will continue to get technical support through Firefox3.6 until the end of the lifecycle is not yet determined ).
