Windows 8, which is available now to some Microsoft customers, hits retail on Oct. "I believe there is a Q4 goal for a beta release as well."
"This preview will include primary browser UI for navigation and tabs, and will be delivered as a combined classic + Metro browser," said Bondy. In a blog post last week, Brian Bondy, a Firefox platform engineer who has been working on a "Metro" version for Windows 8, said that the browser has "progressed steadily," adding that Mozilla's goal is to ship a preview by the end of next month. One project that Mozilla has been pushing is a browser compatible with Windows 8, Microsoft's new operating system. "This requires resources, and with limited resources this sometimes means we have to make tough decisions about where to invest." "Apple releases new versions of its operating systems relatively quickly, and each new version contains significant changes that we must adapt to," Aas said. The final update was issued over a year ago.Īnd finally, said Aas, Mozilla can handle only so much. Nor has Apple maintained Safari on OS X 10.5.
The last time Apple patched bugs in Leopard was November 2011, and its most recent security update, in May 2012, disabled older copies of Flash Player to stymie Flashback rather than fix specific security flaws. Like Google, another reason Mozilla cited for dumping Leopard was that Apple has also ended support. Only 4.6% of all Firefox 13 users were running it on a Mac. If you have any other questions about using Firefox for OS X 10.5.8, let us know in the comments below.As of June 21, 17% of Firefox 13's Mac users were running Leopard, with larger shares on Snow Leopard (35%) and Lion (48%), Aas said. You can use Apple’s Migration Assistant to transfer everything from your old Mac or OS X, including Firefox. If you do decide to upgrade your OS X or Mac, you don’t have to lose all of your Firefox settings and bookmarks. Officially, you’re also supposed to be running at least OS X 10.6.6 in order to upgrade via the Mac App Store (which OS X 10.5 can’t access) but there is a way to install Lion from a bootable DVD or USB drive. If you’re unsure about your Mac’s specification, go to the Apple icon in the top left corner of our screen and select “About This Mac”.
To do this though, your Mac will need to be an Intel Mac with a minimum of Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and at least 2 GB of RAM.
It’s also highly likely that Apple will also stop supporting OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard soon too, so our advice is try to upgrade to at least OS X 10.7 Lion. An even more compelling reason to upgrade from OS X 10.5 is that since 2009, Apple has stopped supporting Leopard anymore meaning the entire OS is vulnerable to attack and serious stability issues.
