with a 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor. Unfortunately, TenFourFox
is not supported on Intel Macintoshes, although some users have
managed to get it to operate; see this FAQ question: <a href=

Can 10.4Fx run on an Intel Mac with 10.4 or 10.5?</a></p>
<p>In general, for Intel users we suggest purchasing 10.6 "Snow
Leopard" from Apple (yes, it's still available) and running the
actual Firefox, which still supports 10.6. All Intel machines with
sufficient RAM can run 10.6, including your laptop, and 10.6 will
still run PowerPC software. If you are already running 10.6, then
you can just download the regular Firefox and it should "just
work."</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/282005282013-08-10T16:33:32Z2013-08-10T16:33:33ZMac Laptop Pro<div><p>Thank you! I am still running OSX 4.11, not having upgraded
beyond OS program of 2006. Are you saying that newest FireFox will,
indeed, run OK on 10.6 Snow Leopard?<br>
Very gratefully,<br>

line? Apple Store offers upgrade to Mountain Lion online, but I
realize that is not compatible with my 2006 MacBook.<br>
Better question: What is the best way to purchase Snow Leopard, if
I live 100 miles from the nearest Mac place?<br>
Gratefully,<br>

would probably cause problems with my iphoto program as well as
requiring other program upgrades, including Word. <br>
Your perspective?<br>
Gratefully,<br>

<p>2) I can't answer that, regrettably. I don't use iPhoto on my
10.6 Intel machine. It hasn't had any problems with 10.6, but it
started out with 10.5, so it is a little newer than yours. There is
no guarantee that there won't be any incompatibility.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/282005282013-08-13T21:44:13Z2013-08-13T21:44:13ZMac Laptop Pro<div><p>Thanks much for your response to my ambiguous problem. I think
that I will now just be satisfied with Safari and avoid the
possibility of further complications. My losing Firefox was a
classic "Duh!" moment.<br>
Grateful for you and your helpful service,<br>
