And in comparison to Apple’s Safari browser, Chrome and Firefox have been downright generous. Firefox has given us Mac support longer than Google’s Chrome browser, which left us behind in April 2016.

It will be a sad day, as Firefox is the last major browser to support Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.8.īut it’s not all bad news. At that point, Mac users using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, and 10.8 Mountain Lion will be left behind by the current versions of Firefox. It is scheduled to be replaced by Firefox 49.0 on September 13, 2016. I’m productive with OS X 10.6 daily, and if you’re looking for a bargain in Mac computing, those 2006-2007 machines can run it with 1 GB of memory, run it nicely with 2 GB, and run it quite well with 3 GB of more.On August 2, 2016, Firefox 48.0 was released. Overall, having a very modern browser that’s not longer being updated – whether Firefox or Chrome – keeps Snow Leopard a useful platform for years to come. OmniWeb 5.11.2 (no updates since 2012, but version 6.0 was in development last August with OS X 10.10 Yosemite support).Kindle 1.9.71 (2015) and earlier will launch but cannot register with Amazon’s servers.Safari 5.1.10 (2013), the first browser to drop OS X 10.6 support.iTunes 11.4 (18) (2014), does not support iOS 9 or later.MacTracker 7.4.1 (2014), but all the data is freely available online.Firefox 47.0 (2016) is current, but it is the last version to support OS X 10.6.

Here’s a list of software I use that’s left behind Snow Leopard users and the last compatible versions: For browsers, Firefox is current (the last version for OS X 10.8 and earlier), Chrome is barely not current (with the same limitations – the latest version already requires OS X 10.9 or later), and Opera still supports Snow Leopard. With the exception of iTunes not supporting iPhones and iPads running iOS 9 and later and the version of Safari with Snow Leopard being so old that some sites will complain that it is an unsupported browsers, none of the other “left behind” issues matter much. (Prior to LibreOffice 4.3, you had to export AppleWorks spreadsheets to Microsoft Excel format and then import that into LibreOffice – which is what I’ve already done with most of my spreadsheets.) It may also open AppleWorks spreadsheets, drawings, and paintings, although I haven’t yet tried that.
Moving forward, I am transitioning to LibreOffice, a freeware office suite that seems to do everything Microsoft Office does (at least everything I need) – and it imports AppleWorks 6 word processing documents.

Best of all, for an old timer like me who has been using AppleWorks since it arrived as ClarisWorks 1.0 for System 7 on my Mac Plus way back in 1991, Snow Leopard is the last version of OS X to run AppleWorks, giving me access to 15 years worth of documents. Snow Leopard is less demanding of resources and will even run nicely on those first-generation Intel Macs with Core Duo processors and a 2 GB memory ceiling. It was the last version of OS X not to roll in iOS-like features like the Launcher (above) and unnatural scrolling. Point of fact, I am running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on that Mac mini (2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, Samsung 850 EVO SSD). With OS X 10.7 Lion, Apple began adding iOS-like features to the Mac, such as the Launcher (above) and “natural” scrolling.
