TenFourFox is made for PPC Macs, and yours is a Mac (Pro?) with
Intel processors.</p>
<p>You can either update your Mac to the latest supported OS X
version (likely 10.7) and install Firefox 45 ESR, download
here:<br>
<a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/">https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/</a><br>
(10.7 doesn't have Rosetta and will be unable to run any PPC
applications)</p>
<p>Or (not really recommended and unsupported) keep your Mac at
10.4 and download the G3 version of TenFourFox, which will run in
Rosetta mode.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852017-03-06T00:42:09Z2017-03-06T18:37:29ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>oh I don't have the right mac? no wonder. Thank you.</p>
<p>so I should download the G3 version? that will be ok? what does
that mean it will run in the Rosetta mode?</p>
<p>The reason I don't want to upgrade the OS is because it may mess
up my Final Cut Pro files on the computer.</p></div>Gregory Ekmekjiantag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852017-03-06T13:32:12Z2017-03-06T18:37:29ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Gregory, if you cannot update your OS, you can try the G3
version, it should run OK, but we don't support this. I.e., if it
crashes or anything else doesn't work, there will be no help here.
You should be aware that running 10.4/Intel is pretty much the
least secure OS X setup imaginable when the Mac has internet
access. You should consider using this Mac for Final Cut only and
use another Mac for web browsing.</p>
<p>Rosetta is a PPC emulator that Apple shipped with the Intel
versions of 10.4 - 10.6. This means you can run software that was
designed for the PPC architecture on your Intel Mac. However, this
comes with a performance penalty, and not all PPC applications will
work.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852017-03-06T17:37:11Z2017-03-06T18:37:29ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Glad there are some humans we can actually talk about
this☺</p>
<p>Thanks Chris.</p>
<p>Yah I’ll definitely try to the G3 version. I mean the
internet still works fine and all…but you know I’m just
having trouble RECENTLY viewing video on youtube that’s all.
So if it crashes, then I can just go back to using the regular
firefox, safari, etc I guess.</p>
<p>What do you mean the least secure? You mean using the internet
with 10.4.1? I just go on youtube, google searches.</p>
<p>So I should just use this internet for just FCP? No internet at
all?</p>
<p>Ok cool so my cpu has Rosetta built into it then.</p>
<p>Thanks Chris…I’ll download G3 version and see how it
works.</p>
<p>Yah these macs are pretty powerful and last so long…I will
eventually get myself a mac pro laptop…no more desktops for
me.</p></div>Ekmekjian, Gregorytag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852017-03-06T18:37:49Z2017-03-06T18:37:49ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Malware is usually compiled for Intel Macs (not PPC), and 10.4
hasn't received security updates for ages (Apple's now at 10.12.x),
it doesn't have Apple's malware protection nor any of the modern
security features introduced with 10.7 and after. Worst of all,
there are no up-to-date web browsers for 10.4/Intel anymore
(except, in a way, TenFourFox). The only way to make it secure is:
no internet.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852017-03-06T18:59:55Z2017-03-06T18:59:55ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Thanks Chris. What do you mean compiled?</p>
<p>So you mean the 10.4 that I have today…it doesn’t
have that security feature on it anymore?</p>
<p>Well so far so good. I basically just get on youtube anyway and
at times ebay. But maybe not a good idea to log into any bank
websites and such right? keep it as simple as possible or worst
like you said no internet☺</p></div>Ekmekjian, Gregorytag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852017-03-07T16:00:30Z2017-03-07T16:00:30ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Compiling means: A computer program is translated from a (human readable)<br>
programming language to machine code. The latter is processor-specific, i.e.<br>
it runs on Intel OR PPC processors only. (Please let's not move too far away<br>
from the TenFourFox topic, this is not a general computer help forum.)</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852017-03-07T18:23:45Z2017-03-07T18:23:46ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Sounds good Chris☺</p></div>Ekmekjian, Gregorytag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852018-03-13T21:41:51Z2018-03-13T21:41:52ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Hi - I've just tried to run tenfourfox on my G5 but I get the error message to say TenFourFoxG5-FPR6 can't open as its an unsupported architecture.

Please try to re-download the .zip file, right-click, choose Open With… and then "Archive Utility" if you're on 10.5 or "BomArchiveHelper" if you're on 10.4.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852018-03-15T21:47:13Z2018-03-15T21:47:16ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Many thanks Chris - you were correct : I'd opened the zip file with Zipeg, but once I used Archive Utility it worked fine. The browser looks great !</p></div>Stevetag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852018-08-06T16:36:01Z2018-08-06T16:36:05ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Just trying ten four Fox on my Mac Pro as a recommendation as I cannot upgrade above lion 10.7.5 as my Mac is now deemed to old :-(<br>
Every version I’ve tried says PowerPC no longer supported, is there any other options to help, I really don’t want to lose a perfectly good machine.</p></div>Dave lowetag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852018-08-06T17:01:56Z2018-08-06T17:01:57ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Hi Dave,<br>
Wow -thats a monster machine you have there ! I think that the problem is<br>
this browser is intended for Power PC based macs, but yours is intel based.<br>
If you want to try a different browser, to Chrome or Firefox then Opera is<br>
pretty good. Regards,<br>

Through that method, I got TFF 17.0.2 working on my Intel Mac running OSX 10.5.8.</p></div>Ryantag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/420848852018-08-08T17:30:40Z2018-08-08T17:30:40ZTen Four Fox Install<div><p>Thank you</p>
