Hi all, Can anyone suggest a decent browser for use on an old PPC Mini running 10.5.8? I've tried Opera, Safari and Firefox, none of them seem stable and the dowload sites don't offer much guidance as to which version is supported on such an old platform/OS. Safari 5.0.6 crawls like a slug and tends to crash when Flash runs. Firefox 3.6.28 seems faster, but can't deal with logging in to secure sites Opera 10.63 is the quickest to run, but also first to crash.

The machine has 512 megs of RAM and does not seem to thrash the disk, so I don't think it's a memory limitation. If anybody's got a suggestion for a different browser or version I'd be grateful. The auto-updaters don't seem to remember the existence of PPC architecture and blithely download Intel-only binaries. Thanks for reading, bob prohaska unk.@googlegroups.com 10/5/2013, 22:56 น.

I surprised your system runs at all on > 512MB of memory. That's below the rock bottom minium 10.5.8 requires. I have an old ppc mini with 10.5.8 and 512m memory and it works fine.

Firefox for mac 10.5 8 Apple still supports these older operating systems, although it's likely that it will drop support for 10. I have been doing web cme uf8 driver to get back some of the functionality that I had on the previous version as well as even older versions of Firefox. Quicken for 2017. WARNING: Firefox For 10.5.8 Is Not Safe! Since Firefox 17 until the latest version of Firefox, you need at least OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher to run the browser safely and efficiently on your Mac.

More memory is always nice but opening those old mac minis is a pain in the ass. It has safari 5.0.5 and an old version of firefox, neither of which crash. I don't do much on it other than the occasional large download when i don't want to leave my main machine on for hours.

It's a nice lightweight server. Unk.@googlegroups.com 11/5/2013, 0:52 น.

The money (not very much) will be well spent. Even the oldest PPC Mac Minis can take 1 GB, and starting in early 2006 they could take 2 GB.

Install the maximum amount your computer can use. Other World Computing is a good source. Will let you see what's available for your model of the Mac Mini.

10.3 and earlier: 128 MB 10.4: 256 MB 10.5: 512 MB 10.6: 1 GB 10.7 and 10.8: 2 GB I personally wouldn't want to use 10.5 with less than 1 GB of memory, especially a web browser. For a browser: I haven't tried it myself, but investigate whether 'TenFourFox' is a usable option. It is a PowerPC port of a reasonably current version of Firefox, aimed at 10.4 but it also works on 10.5. For Flash, I'd say get rid of it. How to record narration on powerpoint for mac.

The version of Flash which runs on 10.5 for PowerPC hasn't been updated for ages and is probably horribly insecure, and too old to support a lot of recent Flash content. -- David Empson PhillipJones 11/5/2013, 19:08 น.
