FRP2 and classic
I have an iBook G4 with OS 10.5.8 and TenFourFox 45.5. I downloaded the new frp2, but when I tried to unzip it, all I got was an error message saying that classic is not supported. I already downloaded and installed frp2 on another MacBoo G4 with OS 10.5.8 and TenFourFox, successfully. doesn't the new frp2 run on ibooks?

Thanks for the reply. One clue to this problem is that when I download to
the desktop and try to unzip, I get the "classic" error message. But when I
unzip the file from the download icon, it opens and installs perfectly.
That is, I double clicked on the FRP2 file name while it was in the
download archive on the upper menu bar of the existing TenFourFox 45.5. It
installed with zero problem.
Again, thanks,
John

John, when you say the download icon, are you referring to the one that drops down in the "doorhanger" from the browser toolbar?

Yes, from the small meter on the upper menu bar of the browser, the one
that shows seconds/minutes remaining in a download, then shows a larger
blue arrow when done.
The error-way of opening a download was to move the downloaded file icon
to the desktop and then double click to unzip. This gave the error message
related to classic system.
I would guess that as long as I attempted to open while still within the
old TenFourFox browser, it worked well. When I tried to open outside of
the browser, from the desktop with OS 10.5.8, I got the error message.
Yours,
John

Very interesting, because those should go through the same code pathway. Does a different unzip application open when you open it from the download toolbar as opposed to from the Finder or Desktop?

I don't know what unzip program is called up for the unzip within
TenFourFox. In the past, it would just open a new file or window. From
the desktop, it does the usual--a menu bar with a message confirming the
unzip operation, then the new TenFourFox icon on the desktop, which I drag
over the old TenFourFox in the Applications file, it then says an older
program already exists, do I want to replace with this new one. I could
try to download a zipped file and then try to open it from inside FPR2 to
see what happens.
Yours,
John

I tried to repeat the problem downloading FPR2, but this time it worked
perfectly. downloaded, unarchived and saved to the desktop. Zero problem.
Hopefully, it was a one time only event before, and no one else had the
classic problem.
Yours,
John

Well, it's still an interesting theory. I'll leave this open to see if others who have experienced the problem notice a difference.
