Best browser for a Mac iBook G4 for wordpress blogging?
-
Hi,
Wordpress is telling me that my old version of Firefox 3.6 is no longer safe for my blog.
But, as I have a Mac iBook G4 (without an Intel processor) I can’t actually run the new Firefox 4.
What browser would people suggest? Anything that wordpress doesn’t flag up?
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I use chrome and it works fine. Although I have never used a Mac before. So do not know if it’ll work. But you can give it a try.

Have you tried checking out the possibilities on the Browse Happy site?Starting with this update, if you log in to your WordPress site using an outdated browser, an orange alert will appear on your Dashboard screen letting you know, and will provide links to the browser updates and to Browse Happy,
http://browsehappy.com/ where you can learn a little more about your options. From: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/just-write/ -
@lllnottingham, ignore the warning, dismiss it. Firefox 3.6.x is just fine for working with wordpress, and Mozilla will likely support it with security updates for a while yet (perhaps a year. Within a year though I would suggest thinking about retiring the G4 and getting one of the new Intel based Macs if that is an option for you.

@lllnottingham and another thing, that thing in the dashboard is just a suggestion. FF 3.6.X is very secure at this time. Don’t worry about it right now.

Thanks to everyone for their input – it’s been really helpful and the panic is over now!
