It will be a sad day, as Firefox is the last major browser to support Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.8.

Firefox has given us Mac support longer than, which left us behind in April 2016.Īnd in comparison to Apple’s Safari browser, Chrome and Firefox have been downright generous.

Safari 5.1.10 was the last version for OS X 10.6, and that arrived on September 12, 2013. Safari 6.1.6, the final revision for OS X 10.7, was unleashed on August 13, 2014, and 6.2.8, the last version for OS X 10.8, a year later on August 13, 2015. Chrome gave Snow Leopard users 2-1/2 years more support than Apple did, Lion users 20 months more, and Mountain Lion 8 months. When Firefox 49.0 arrives, Snow Leopard users will have had 3 years more support by Firefox than Safari gave them. Lion users, 25 months, and Mountain Lion holdouts, 13 months. Outdated Does Not Mean Obsolete Fear mongers will insist on running the latest version of browser on a fully up-to-date operating system with the belief that anything else puts you at risk.

The truth is, there are unknown risks in the latest software.
