Overview
TenFourFox for Mac is a fast, efficient Web browser always based on the current version of Firefox, but unlike the main distribution the tool is compatible with OS X 10.4 and 10.5 running on PowerPC processors. Talk about big power. No matter what websites you're viewing, if you thought TenFourFox for macOS was awesome before, it only gets better. Best-in-class just-in-time JavaScript compiler is now 20 percent faster. We support more video, audio, font and image formats to browse the websites you thought your Power Mac couldn't. Better security. Better privacy. The handy features of Mozilla Firefox® on Intel Macs are now on PowerPC, along with brand-new ways to help you with the things you do every day on your Power Mac.
TenFourFox no longer supports plugins or Flash - As of the previous the tool, for the following reasons plugin support ships disabled. Sites will now act as if no plugins were installed at all. For details and an in-depth explanation of this policy and other workarounds, see Why aren't plugins supported in the app? Plugins on PowerPC are of special concern because Mozilla is making updates to their plugin architecture which may require the plugins themselves to be updated, and there are certain difficult-to-correct bugs with them already on Tiger. Most importantly, Adobe Flash for PowerPC is no longer maintained and has known security risks that can crash or leak data, some sites requires versions not available on the PowerPC, and QuickTime for Leopard will lose its own support with the release of OS X Lion. For these and other reasons, Ten FourFox for Mac does not run plugins, and they cannot be enabled.
It comes in different tuned versions for specific PowerPC processor families:
