Hello,
Ten Four Fox wont open on my 1.6 Ghz G5. I switched to TenFourFox from Safari Preferences, but Safari keeps itself as the default browser instead.
Can you help?
Best regards

Hello Julio. Sorry for taking a bit to answer your two questions.
1) Make sure you downloaded the correct version. Click http://tenfourfox.googlecode.com/files/TenFourFoxG5-17.0.9.app.zip and re-download the G5 version. Don't use a third-party utility to unzip. Instead, right-click the downloaded .zip file, choose Open With… and then "Archive Utility" (if you're on 10.5) or "BomArchiveHelper" (if you're on 10.4). Move the resulting "TenFourFoxG5" in you Applications Folder. It will replace any older version of TFF there. If you have versions for other processors in there (G3, 7450 etc.) you can delete those. Double-click TenFourFoxG5 and see if it starts up correctly.
2) Close both TFF and Safari. Then open Safari, switch the default browser to TFF in the Safari preferences. Close Safari and re-open to see if the choice stuck.

So, is Safari still setting itself as default browser, or TFF not opening? Or both?
Can you please click on the Apple menu top left on your screen, choose "About this Mac" and tell me which processor you have? Or post a screenshot of the window like I did.

Ahhh, you're on Mac OS X 10.3. I'm sorry, TenFourFox requires 10.4 (hence the name) or 10.5. That's why it doesn't start on your Mac. I'm sorry I haven't got a better answer for you, but consider upgrading to 10.4.11 or 10.5.8, which gives you better options for software and will extend the usefull life of your Mac.
