Updates to TenFourFox on Github

Happy New Year (I'd like to say nothing can be worse than 2021 was, but I don't want to tempt 2022). Fortunately, we're starting the year off right with new changesets on Github for the TenFourFox rolling release. Besides the periodic updates to TLDs, HSTS and timezone data, these two changesets also fix some security issues, include a minor update to NSS with new support for SHA-2 OCSP stapled responses (thanks to roytam1 for the suggestion), and correct a couple minor Mac OS X-specific widget problems. No clobber is needed for this go-around, so just pull down the changes and gmake -f client.mk build to fresh your installation. If you're new to self-building TenFourFox on your Power Mac (or unsupported Intel Mac), read this recent article.

  2. I'm using TenFourFox Release 9 on a Mac G5 / OSx 10.5...and Youtube just quit working on it yesterday. Any ideas for me? Thanks.

  3. Cameron, Chrome OS Flex is now available for free on PC and Macs. Is this the solution that will work on our PPC desktop Macs and give us a platform for Cloud Computing and a up to date browser. I am really curious!

    1. Unfortunately, probably not. Chromium has never run (properly at least) on big-endian platforms, and I've never seen a port of it to 32-bit PowerPC. Anything is possible but the work required would probably be excessive, to say nothing of keeping it current.

  4. Thank you. That is what I have been able to glean in the product descriptions I've read so far. Disappointing.
