So - I am using an older MacBookPro & still using Snow Leopard w/ Firefox because I don't want to upgrade my video & audio editing tools. They are stable & work great.
The question is, I get messages to upgrade Firefox because of security issues.
Should I do so?
I understand older versions of Firefox "work better" with older OSX.
Yes, automatic update is turned off.
I am soon upgrading the MBP to a SSD & will doing a clean install of Snow Leopard OSX and the programs.
Yes, this stuff has all been tested to work with the SSD.
It's a Foxfire update I am concerned about.
Unless someone can recommend a different browser.
Also, this is not my internet computer, only go online occasionally with this MBP.
Thanks in advance!
Bud

Before you upgrade Firefox on that Mac, save the installation. If you have the downloaded setup file it is even better. Then make a note of the version and post a question about it on the Mozilla Firefox forums. Somebody may know what changes will affect your program and what tweaks can be made using about:config to restore those settings in a new version. There are hundreds of code tweaks available using this feature.
