This is notice of an intent to deprecate support within Firefox for the following old versions of MacOS: 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 The motivation for this change is that we have continued failures that are specific to these old operating systems and don't have the resources on engineering teams to prioritize these bugs. Especially with the deployment of e10s we're seeing intermittent and permanently failures on MacOS 10.6 that we are not seeing elsewhere. We get very little testing of old MacOS versions from our prerelease testers and cannot dedicate much paid staff testing support to these platforms.
We also have an increasingly fragile set of old hardware that supports automated tests on 10.6 and do not intend to replace this. This will affect approximately 1.2% of our current release population. Here are the specific breakdowns by OS version: 10.6 0.66% 10.7 0.38% 10.8 0.18% The final time frame for this deprecation has not been finalized, but the current proposal is to remove support in Firefox 46. We will try and update existing users on old MacOS versions to the Firefox 45 ESR release stream, so that they stay with security update support through the end of 2016.

With help, I ended up with a model 'iMac6,1' depicted here: Bought it 'new' at a local CompUSA store, since we did not have any Apple® stores here at the time. (Now, CompUSA is closed, of course.) That is the only computer I have. Can't afford anything else. Yes it's old, and severely limited.
(biggest limitation is its EFI/BIOS at 32-bit, even tho its Core2Duo CPU is capable of 64-bit and runs most OSX tasks in that mode) (this is related to how the original MacPro towers were designed) But it's been a good companion all these years. And it STILL WORKS. I need the large screen, and its matte finish.
My paid job was doing technical work in a mainframe shop, with private wired network across the state, before Internet even. A secondary job at the same agency was to try building a FreeBSD desktop system using their antiquated PCs (ended up with ca. 500-MHz PentiumII tower, even tho the agency was already able to afford much-better PCs for people that 'counted' I better shaddup here with that kind of talk).

During these years, I've become rather critical of the times we are in now. Seems the internet-software market has become too dependent on 'luxury'. For example, I need simple suitable representation of the texts and pictures on a webpage. We already have 'standards' to dictate what that entails, and we already have suitable software to draw them on our screens. Same thing about using Thunderbird for email.
Another example: I do not need e.g. 'e10s' and have instructed FireFox to shut off that option here even if this iMac and o.s. Can do multitasking.
Yet another example: Ordering food and paying bills, etc, need Protections via encryption etc. So far, I've been able to compile various F/OSS projects that are needed to do this.
Codes that are 'newer' than provided by Apple®. This gave me a notion I've had throughout all this: Data is Data, and their processing does not necessarily need a new o.s., just updated code to be run by the user. And Thus I blame Apple® for directly causing me Maximum Grief here and secondarily blaming the F/OSS entities for dropping us poor people since now I must be worried about it and write these complaints in public arenas. Also I need to mention that I've been testing the Nightly Builds and also the tinderbox builds here and opened several bugzilla tickets over the recent years. There's more to it but I hope I've explained enough for now.
