Which makes sense, given the fact that the FF48 dev edition currently works.

It works perfectly.<br /><br />The only issues I have on 10.6 are rather minor: Memory consumption is a little worse, and the Browser slows down after it runs very long (many days). Restart the browser from time to time and everything works smoothly.<br /><br />What are the issues they are talking about? Why should it be impossible to buildt post 45ESR versions for 10.6? They already do it with the Developer Edition.<br /><br />Did I miss something? I'm a little confused.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17507366721678146987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-51599879486004298452016-03-26T12:15:25.064-07:002016-03-26T12:15:25.064-07:00Yep, While PC users (gamers usually) constantly ba...Yep, While PC users (gamers usually) constantly bash us because we're "slow" because we "can't run past 3GHz", ClassicHasClass, you where always there. You & Tobias proved that having the latest tech didn't matter; What did matter was the amount of optimization in the code. Hell, I'm willing to bet a PS3 with your code optimizations is capable of playing a game just as well as a PS4. Thanks for the many years of service, even if the project will hit a brick wall eventually.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011845999814793165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-52877436712569378532016-03-24T13:00:05.948-07:002016-03-24T13:00:05.948-07:00I honestly don't know anybody who has the stam...I honestly don't know anybody who has the stamina/will to do what you're doing with something as massive as Firefox.

I know I'd certainly use it (and I'll definitely take my chances with TenFourFox in Rosetta if that's what it comes down to).<br /><br />I can only speak for myself, though I suspect a lot of the holdouts running 10.6 even today are doing so because they don't care for "features" introduced in later versions of Mac OS X, such as the removal of Rosetta support or the "versioning" file system introduced in 10.7. I still have some PPC native software that I use (it works and is paid for, or no native Intel version exists) and I'd really rather manage my files myself rather than being exposed to an inconsistently implemented idea of a versioning file system.<br /><br />I'm stuck on 10.6 for another reason: that of iMovie '06, Quicktime 7 and the Perian components. My video editing workflow as it was depended heavily on these things, and Apple utterly destroyed what was probably one of the best little video editors ever.<br /><br />Right now my primary use 2009-era Macbook is rather broken, so it's out of use at the moment and these issues don't matter nearly as much.<br /><br />A sad commentary here is that an unofficially patched Windows 2000 can *still* run contemporary versions of Firefox with Electrolysis enabled. (Whether it really works or not I don't know. I've enabled Electrolysis in nightly builds and have never seen any evidence even on fully supported platforms that it's actually spawning multiple browser processes as Chrome does.)<br /><br />Unfortunately, I'm not a software developer and I've never been able to work up the aptitude nor the interest in doing so, so it can't be me.Unexpected Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17136787443738948395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-66436994530211523472016-03-20T20:59:14.196-07:002016-03-20T20:59:14.196-07:00Please Mozilla, stop wasting precious resources on...Please Mozilla, stop wasting precious resources on EOLed OS versions.

So perhaps the biggest strength of PowerPC is the love of its fans, rather than the architecture itself. <br /><br />The need to be eccentric and enjoy 'different'. In the case of PPC, this has served in many instances; You once called it "Security by Obscurity". And its "don't think about it, do it" way of processing that always feels like it has elbow-room, even if when it probably doesn't. The big question will be does a world of identical aluminum 'Cybermen' IntelMacs (abominations) have the love of their owners, that decades of shiny plastic earned (PowerMac G5's not to be dissed)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
