I have an Intel Mac using OS 10.5.8, and Firefox v3.5.17. It works fine and I do not want to change as I like Firefox "exactly" the way it is! That said, I will be forced to update soon I'm very afraid. In looking at and trying to update to the latest version, many conflicts have come up. The update consistently brings me to the wrong version for my OS. So, what version will be the latest that will absolutely work for OS 10.5.8? WHY do I find that 4.0X is best then, 16.0!! is the correct one?
As of Firefox 17.0 the minimum Mac OSX required is 10.6+ as the latest version that the old OSX 10.5.x could support was Firefox 16.0.2. As you have a Intel and dependeing on your hardware specs you could update to 10.6.x
Vlc Mac Os X 10.5 8 Download
Once the dowload finishes downloading the file (.dmg), the OS automaticly mounts the file. I then move the file into the app folder. Once it finishes moving I try to open it but it says it isnt compatible with the version of my OS (10.5.8).
You will also see two web browser plugin download links. Those are for playing/streaming videos straight from your browser. The plugins are available for Intel Mac and Power Mac users. They require the OS X version to be 10.5 or lower.
