Sometime in 2012, Adobe Flash asked me to update it. I tried, but it didn't work because my browsers (firefox and chrome) didn't support the newest flash. I tried to update my browsers, but neither firefox nor chrome supports mac os 10.5.8 anymore. Safari keeps telling me to update flash too. I know that using an older version of flash can be a security hazard, so I really want to update. My question: Are there any browsers (perhaps a firefox variant) I can use more safely now than the browsers that shipped with 10.5.8?

For the impatient: You have two possibilities: • PowerPC-based Mac: and no Flash. • Intel-based Mac: (thanks to for this one!) with (beware, Flash 10.3 is an archived version and is ).

A fork of Firefox to maintain support for the Power Mac, supporting Mac OS X 10. Is this TenFourFox and not. Tuned for 10.4 (and compatible. With 10.5), adds new. For my mac 10.5.8 2.1 Ghz Powerpc G5 can i download google beta and what firefox? If i download an older version it keeps trying to download firefox 6.0 over and over again. Mac Book 10.5.8 with Firefox 4.0.1 Does not recognize me when I am logged in as the administrator.

Long version: • If you use an Intel processor you can use: Opera 12 OS X Leopard (10.5), or greater: 32-bit and 64-bit Intel systems supported Opera supports Flash Player plug-in. • If you use a PowerPC processor you may want to try. TenFourFox seems to be actively developed (version 17.0.3 was released Feb 16 2013).

Free grep tool for windows. TenFourFox supports add-ons, but not plugins, that is, you can't use Flash at all. Please notice that Flash Player 11.

You can still download for 10.5 Intel (beware, Flash 10.3 is an archived version and is ). As for other browsers: • Firefox processors (PowerBook, PowerMac): Firefox 3.6.28 is the last version of Firefox that works with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on a computer with a PowerPC processor. Is the latest version that supports Leopard on Intel-based Macs as Firefox 17 requires 10.6 or newer. • Apple no longer releases Safari updates for Mac OS X 10.5 (as stated ). • Chrome, either: Google Chrome on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) will stop receiving any updates following Chrome 21.

I seem to remember that back in February (when I first answered the question) the article linked () listed a Flash Player for Mac OS X 10.5.x. So I inferred that Adobe supported that Flash version too. However, since it wasn't stated explicitely, I chose the wording 'which seems to be supported by Adobe'. That's clearly no longer the case (extended support for Flash Player 10.3 expired on July 9th, as explained in the link your provided), thanks for pointing it out, I've edited my answer accordingly. – Sep 10 '13 at 7:25 •.
