Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5. TenFourFox 10.0.4 has the latest security
updates from the corresponding Firefox version. Also, since plugins
are switched off by default, you're not vulnerable to
Java/Flash/PDF reader etc. security holes. As long as you keep your
passwords/pins/tans safe, and the banking site cares enough about
security, it's generally safe. Personally, I do banking with
TenFourFox, and I'd prefer that to a Windows machine any day.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/156757252012-05-01T05:39:23Z2012-05-01T05:39:23Zonline security<div><p>The entire idea of TenFourFox is to have a browser that can
still be used safely on Power Macs.</p>
<p>Like Chris, I also use it for my own banking and bill pay. It
incorporates all Mozilla's security fixes and whatever other ways
we can shore up the OS. Moreover, Apple's own tools no longer can
build software for PowerPC, meaning malware authors have to jump
through a lot of hoops to make malicious software for Power
Macs.</p>
<p>There's no such thing as a completely safe system, but I am
confident in this browser personally, and it's what I use for my
secure tasks.</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/156757252012-05-06T23:56:21Z2012-05-06T23:56:22Zonline security<div><p>Thx. feel much better about the banking thing and online
