Best Browser 10.8.5 Software Developers Drop

Its less resource-intensive compared to Firefox 52 on this Late 2006 iMac, so I might just make the switch over to it.

For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.

I primarily use Firefox but its a memory hog and also fairly crash-happy.

To make matters worse Firefox will drop support next year and the other two already have.

Safari works but is old at this point and needs a Webkit update.

Best Browser 10.8.5 Software Developers Drop

Since Apple officially dropped Mountain Lion support last fall, software developers drop testing on older operating systems.

I work with wordpress a lot and my main mac runs on mountain lion still.

My browser choice when I am plugged into a wall is Chrome, as I find it is best optimized for work on wordpress, but since it is such an energy drain, I prefer to just use it when I am plugged in.

Must have been living under a rock, never heard of this till now.

Then in the Contents folder there will be an Info.plist file, open it with a text editor, find the string 10.9.0 and change to 10.8.5.

Should look like this.

However, GoopnyPants has posted a very simple fix to get it working perfectly.

Go to about:config and accept the warning prompt.

Paste autostart in the search bar.

Change the setting highlighted below in my screenshot to false (as pictured).

Said t was locked.

Copied it to the applicartions folder, edited it and it said the program was corrupted and said I had to delete it.

Ive been sticking with ESR 52 on my 10.8.5 iMac just to be safe, just updated to 52.2.0 (updates have to be downloaded manually as the in-app updater says the system isnt supported and refuses to work).

Any other modifications besides changing 10.9.0 to 10.8.0 to do EDIT: Yes, I am on 10.8.5, not 10.8.0.

WaterFox too When you first open FF, videos such as YT work just fine.

Anyone else had this issue EDIT: I went ahead and investigated some more and every version till FireFox 52 Beta 9 doesnt have the issue.

All I had to was to change esr to beta in the ContentsResourcesdefaultsprefchannel-prefs.js file.

Quite an odd fix.

It doesnt work for FireFox 54 tho.
