Arctic Fox is a fork of the Firefox web browser for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), which is no longer supported by Apple nor the Mozilla Foundation. It is available in Intel binaries, avoiding the use of Rosetta, which significantly degraded the performance of legacy PowerPC browsers, such as TenFourFox for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).[1]

Arctic Fox uses the Goanna open source browser engine from Pale Moon, itself a fork of Firefox. Development started from Palemoon 27.9.4 and supported aging operating systems, such as Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.8.5, Linux for PowerPC, and Windows XP.[2] The Intel binaries are available in 32-bit for legacy plugin support (such as Microsoft Silverlight), or 64-bit for improved performance. Switching to a mobile user agent is recommended for resource-heavy sites that utilize JavaScript.[1]
For an up-to-date browser for older Macs, try Chromium Legacy. You may need to use this direct link to download Chromium Updater; no other browser for OS X 10.7-10.8 is able to display GitHub correctly. When opened, Chromium Updater will appear as an icon on the right side of the menu bar. Click it, then select a stable version of Chromium Legacy to download. Once the new copy of Chromium Legacy is downloaded, drag it to the Applications folder. You can keep Chromium Updater and use it to update the installed copy of Chromium Legacy.To enable Google sync in Chromium Legacy, quit the browser, then enter the following command in Terminal (it is one long line):open -a /Applications/Chromium.app --args "--oauth2-client-id=77185425430.apps.googleusercontent.com --oauth2-client-secret=OTJgUOQcT7lO7GsGZq2G4IlT"Chromium Legacy will open; log into your Google account. You will not need to run the command again unless you log out.
Using my 2008 white Macbook and Snow Leopard -- without further updates -- is there any way that I can securely go online for Google searches and gmail? Are there any non-Apple browsers that might be secure for this purpose?
Posted by Amanda Alexander, Product Manager, Android We are excited to announce that Android Studio Arctic Fox is now available to download in the stable release channel. This latest release brings to life Jetpack Compose 1.0, Android's new toolkit for building native UI. The release also focuses on devices, including Wear OS, and helps with developer productivity, with features like a new Background Task Manager. We used your feedback to create this suite of new Android Studio features that will help empower the developer community to create high quality, modern apps across devices faster!
You can download the latest version of Android Studio Arctic Fox from the download page and download the Apple Silicon preview build here. If you are using a previous release of Android Studio, you can simply update to the latest version of Android Studio. If you want to maintain a stable version of Android Studio, you can run the stable release version and canary release versions of Android Studio Arctic Fox at the same time. Learn more.
Nice review. I just updated SpiderWeb browser built on top of the latest UXP release. You can try that, or any of the other browsers listed if you want slightly better web compliance than what Arctic Fox can handle.
I have computers running very old versions of Mac OS / OS X / macOS! Most of the software they run is similarly old, but I need an up-to-date web browser, for security and for compatibility with modern websites. What are my options?
Attempting to browse the web on these OS's is basically a lost cause. However, you could set up Web Rendering Proxy on another (modern) machine, which will stream websites to older browsers as an interactive gif. If you squint, it's almost like the real thing!
Cameron Kaiser's TenFourFox is here for you! This browser was forked from a very old version of Firefox, so expect to run into broken websites on occasion. For casual browsing on a secondary computer, however, TenFourFox is perfectly sufficient.
With support for WebRTC and an engine based on Firefox 52, Wicknix's InterWeb browser is likely to offer the best compatibility with modern websites on Snow Leopard. Make sure to download the 10.6-specific version: -browser.html
If InterWeb runs too slowly on your old hardware, consider trying this other browser from the same developer. It's based on an older engine which won't work with as many websites, but it should be a bit more performant. -Fox/wiki
I've done this on a G3 iMac, a G4 XServe and now a (white) 2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook. In each instance, I was able to compile XOrg and get a desktop environment running as well as the latest Chromium and Firefox browsers.
That same Core 2 Duo MacBook has a 10.7.5 partition with WaterFox browser installed and it crashes relentlessly. I've found that older Macs aren't very reliable in running modern browsers. The retro software however, is a different story (anyone remember Karateka?) That works well on older Machines so if you can live without the browser, older versions of macOS/OS X are fine. But if you need browser support - get a newer OS.
or download the stock PICO AUTOFIRE FIRMWARE and you will have Autofire option without arctic fox, follow step below to upload file in the same manner to pico, from there you will be all set to go without continuing the others steps.
Now that you have installed arctic fox you can use a configuration someone has already set up or you can program your own configuration, You can have 8 profiles in your configuration, For now I have made 1 configuration that has 3 profiles on it, you can download load it here Quest, the v4 and the v5 Prototype, now follow the steps below to load it to your pico.
This browser is released as a communityproject to aim for open,collaborative development of a full-featured web browser, asmuchdesigned by the user as it is by our development team. Everyone iswelcome to become involved in its development or to write extensions toenhance their browsing experience! It is released"as-is" and in the hope that it will be useful to its users.
This project is community-supported to benefit the developmentof not only a web browser but any other application that builds on thefreely available XUL platformwe are developing and using. That means that if you enjoy the browserenough to help pay for bills for hosting, related on-line and off-lineservices,and especially further development and maintenance of the browser andunderlying platform, youcan supportus through the following service:

Pale Moon is an open-source web browser with an emphasis on customization; its motto is "Your browser, Your way".[8] There are official releases for Microsoft Windows and Linux,[8] as well as contributed builds for various platforms.[4]
Pale Moon 27 (codenamed "Tycho") was a major re-fork of the core browser code to Firefox 38 Extended Support Release, which added HTTP/2, DirectX 11, MSE/DASH, and JavaScript ES6 capabilities.[59] Add-on support remained almost entirely unchanged, with a slight reduction of Jetpack compatibility.[9][60]
In 2017, the Pale Moon team began the Unified XUL Platform project, seeking to fork Firefox's platform code one final time, before Mozilla fully removed the XUL/XPCOM technology. A new browser, Basilisk, was created as a "reference application" for developing UXP.[61][62] Like Pale Moon, Basilisk is a fork of Firefox with substantial divergence from Mozilla's browser.[63] The first incarnation of UXP (codenamed "Möbius") was based on Firefox 53-55, but complications arose with building non-Firefox-based applications on the new platform, such as Thunderbird and SeaMonkey. In early 2018, UXP development was restarted with Firefox 52 ESR as the new basis, ultimately resulting in Pale Moon 28 later that year.[31]
On 17 March 2022, Pale Moon 30 was released alongside the new Goanna Runtime Environment (GRE), and the source code to both Pale Moon and its platform was made readily available once again.[73] Two days later, a core developer unexpectedly departed from the Pale Moon project, sabotaging the Pale Moon website and certain browser services in the process.[74][75] Pale Moon 30, which depended upon the damaged project infrastructure, was recalled on 21 March 2022,[76] and extra updates to Pale Moon 29.4 were released while damage control was underway.[77][78] Future development of the GRE and Pale Moon 30 was deemed unviable, owing to the proprietary nature of the Goanna Runtime Environment's accompanying infrastructure, which remained under ownership of the departing core developer, as well as breaking platform code changes committed by this developer. On 28 March 2022, Straver decided to return to UXP as a platform base, abandoning both the GRE and Pale Moon 30 in favor of a new Pale Moon 31 milestone.[79] 2ff7e9595c
