TenFourFox runs under 10.4 and 10.5 only (10.4.11 and 10.5.8 are
the supported versions). I'm sorry I can't offer you a better
solution, but you will have to upgrade your G5 if you want to run
TenFourFox.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-05T14:03:24Z2014-05-05T14:03:24ZCant install<div><p>Bummer! Would you have any idea what browser out there would be

<p>The thing is, if you need the desktop version of Facebook or the
latest and greatest in HTML/CSS, these old browsers won't help you
much. Since your G5 can run 10.4 or 10.5 very decently, your best
option is to upgrade the OS if you want to keep the machine
viable.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-05T14:17:29Z2014-05-05T14:17:29ZCant install<div><p>We run exchange 2010 and basically all the user needs to do is
access web mail. On the stock safari browser it does not load and I
was assuming because it’s old.</p>
<p>I will need to check and see if it’s possible to upgrade
to 10.5 with the other software he has on the desktop.</p></div>Jordan Binkleytag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-06T06:32:05Z2014-05-06T06:32:05ZCant install<div><p>You were assuming correctly. Safari on 10.3 is hopelessly
outdated. Webmail interfaces can be pretty demanding nowadays.
Security is also an issue for webmail, and TFF (plus Seamonkey PPC,
needs 10.5) are the only PPC browsers, as far as I'm aware, that
are up-to-date security-wise.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-06T08:41:42Z2014-05-06T08:41:42ZCant install<div><p>Understand. So if I get to 10.5 then I should be able to get a
better usable browser!</p>

for the Power PC but even the Dual 1.8 G5 is not powerful enough to
run the 10.5.8 OS.<br>
This OS version was deliberately written to force G5 owners to
update to a newer Intel powered Mac.<br>
My Dual 1.8 G5 can not cope with the power demands of the 10.5.8
OS, and the Mac experts that look after my G5 know all about the
problems........no G5 ever built had enough POWER to run OS X
10.5.8 successfully.</p></div>Kent blythetag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-08T06:06:09Z2014-05-08T06:06:09ZCant install<div><p>Kent, my G4 PowerBook says otherwise. Also I'd like to kindly
remind you to keep the discussion on topic, which is
TenFourFox.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-08T06:54:36Z2014-05-08T06:54:36ZCant install<div><p>Hi Chris,</p>
<p>I normally run an older OS in my G5, but my hard drive is in for
repair.<br>
The replacement hard drive i was given is running 10.5.8 and my
cable net<br>
service is like dial up......not to mention the time wasted waiting
for my<br>
G5 to start up, and worse to close down.<br>
The IT Tech's informed me about the power problems that the Power
Macs have<br>
with the 10.5.8 OS.<br>
It is apparently a well known problem with Power Macs trying to run
the<br>
10.5.8 OS........either that, or the Tech's are lying to me.<br>
Jordan seems to be having a similar problem to me, but he is
running a much<br>
faster OS that doesn't need as much power.<br>
Logic would suggest that if he downloads the SLOWER 10.5.8 OS, then
he<br>
should have even more trouble downloading your latest version.<br>
That makes this a Ten Four Fox topic........</p></div>Kent Blythetag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-08T07:03:26Z2014-05-08T07:03:26ZCant install<div><p>Jordan's problem was that TFF doesn't run on 10.3. There was no
downloading trouble involved. Discussion closed.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-08T11:31:12Z2014-05-08T11:31:13ZCant install<div><p>Why was this closed?</p>
<p>He is running a 2Ghz G5 with 4GB of ram. So are we saying no
point to update to 10.5.8 because it will run like crap?</p></div>Jordan Binkleytag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-08T12:04:23Z2014-05-08T12:04:23ZCant install<div><p>I closed it to stop the discussion about one person's off-topic
"power" problems that was generalized to all Macs. Neither 10.4 nor
10.5 will run like crap on any G5 except there's something majorly
wrong with the hardware.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/328357452014-05-11T14:19:34Z2014-05-11T14:19:35ZCant install<div><p>hi i download tenfourfox 25 and 17 and i can not install it
