I have 10.5.8 on a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 4 GB DDR SDRAM. I am currently running 17.0.2 TenFourFox successfully. I have tried the last two updates, separately of course, and I always get the following message after extraction and install:

You can't open the application "TenFourFoxG5-17.0.5" because it is not supported on this architecture.

    Mark, if you're using a thrird party unzip utility, right click the downloaded zip file and try to open it with the built-in "BOMArchiveHelper" (10.4) or "Archive Utility" (10.5). Tools such as Zipeg can corrupt applications.

    OK, let me give that a try.

    Thanks, Chris. You are a genius! It worked. And also, my thanks to all who make TenFourFox possible.
