It would have been very difficult to build versions from Firefox 46 to 53, and is now impossible to build versions from Firefox 54 on.Īs a result, we parted ways from Firefox's source code with the ESR version of 45.9 and started backporting important features from later versions of Firefox to this reliable platform base. Additionally, after Firefox 54 Firefox now requires the Rust compiler to build the browser, which has never been supported on PowerPC OS X and has several low-level technical requirements which are not possible prior to OS X Lion. Unfortunately, between Firefox 45ESR and 52ESR, Mozilla made several important low-level changes that would have caused substantial problems with older versions of OS X.
We called this state "source parity:" we built from a modified version of Firefox's current source code and kept pace with their changes. Stable releases were based on the current Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) and unstable releases were based on the released mainstream version of Firefox. Until TenFourFox 45, TenFourFox versions kept pace with Firefox, and corresponded generally with the feature set of the same version of Firefox.
There are lots of things that don't work in the browser, so if it matters to you, pitch in! What were those funny "FPR" and "SPR" numbers?

If you submit an issue and you don't submit a patch to fix that issue or indicate you yourself plan to work on that issue, it will be closed. Why do you keep closing my Github issues? You have a bug and you should fix it.īecause TenFourFox is a hobby, the only things being worked on are those that people actually want to be working on. Not issuing official builds is partially because there's no version timeline, but it's also to save computer time and energy and to encourage people to build their own copies of the browser and become more accustomed to the process. Updates occur when someone submits a patch or pull request and it is accepted, and there will be no specific version tags (the current version is always what's there). TenFourFox is in hobby mode, which is to say that it is no longer updated on any regular schedule, there is no roadmap, and there is no user support. Why don't you make builds of TenFourFox anymore? What does "hobby mode" mean? TenFourFox is not an official Mozilla build or product. There are also various later features from post-Firefox 45 versions which were backported, such as TLS 1.3 and WebP support. Here is a more or less complete list of changes in TenFourFox. What modifications were made to 10.4Fx?ġ0.4Fx contains modified widget code to work with OS X Tiger and the 10.4 SDK, modified font code to use Apple Type Services instead of CoreText, disables WebGL (which is incompatible with Tiger), adds its own MP3 audio decoder, and includes AltiVec- and PowerPC-specific code for JavaScript acceleration and decoding of WebM, JPEG and HTML. Mozilla's trademark conditions require that builds named Firefox be based on unmodified source, and 10.4Fx is modified. Why isn't it called Firefox?ġ0.4Fx is not called Firefox because technically it isn't, and therefore legally it can't be. This was our attempt to rectify the disparity.

Mozilla stopped supporting Power Macintosh and Mac OS X v10.4 with Firefox 4/Mozilla 2.0, both of which remain important and in our humble opinion viable platforms, particularly for people who need to run older software or use Classic. TenFourFox (hereafter 10.4Fx) is a port of Firefox 45 with later updates to the Power Macintosh, running either Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5. Questions answered in the FAQ are generally pertinent only to the most current version of 10.4Fx although notes about earlier versions are also included for reference. This action will be considered successful when the applicability relevance evaluates to false.This page is for frequently asked questions about TenFourFox (or, as we abbreviate it, 10.4Fx).
