Two workarounds have been included in a new version of Firefox, the popular open source web browser from Mozilla, following the discovery of one issue that caused the application to misbehave under OS X 10.7 Lion, and another that caused the Java plugin to fail to load.
- 2) Firefox 3.6.8 is ancient — many years old — and isn't safe to use. If you want to use Firefox and can't upgrade your OS, you should install Firefox 45 ESR, which is the last version supported by Mozilla for 10.7. But again, this isn't necessary to use Zotero Standalone and Word.
- As such, Firefox 5.0.1 was released this week with workarounds for an issue in Mac OS X 10.7 that would cause Firefox to crash, as well as for an issue caused by Apple's 'Java for Mac OS X 10.6.
Sep 16, 2017 I'm using Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 13inch late 2008. I can't update to El Captain on the App Store and I'm worried that I can't browse the internet as all internet browsers I currently have (Safari, Chrome and Firefox) don't support my system anymore.
Scheduled to debut sometime this month, OS X Lion is the latest version of Apple’s desktop operating system.
It brings tons of enhancements, both aesthetically and under-the-hood, but most of them are about function.
New features include Mission Control, Launchpad, new Multi-Touch gestures, AirDrop, Versions, AutoSave, an all new version of Mail, and dozens of other new additions that make the software more user friendly, as well as more advanced in terms of functionality.
The Golden Master build of OS X Lion has recently been released to Apple developers.
Firefox 10.7.5
Mozilla took the time to test its Firefox web browser against this build and concluded that some code corrections were in order.
As such, Firefox 5.0.1 was released this week with workarounds for an issue in Mac OS X 10.7 that would cause Firefox to crash, as well as for an issue caused by Apple's 'Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5' where the Java plugin would not be loaded.
Firefox Mac 10.7 5
Released in late June, Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 delivered improved compatibility, security, and reliability by updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26. A Leopard version was also made available.
Apple noted at that time that multiple vulnerabilities existed in the Mac implementation of Sun Microsystems’ Java platform.
The most serious of them all could allow an untrusted Java applet to execute arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox.
