Trying to figure out where those numbers came from. I'm operating 10.5.8 I think. It's the update right before Snow Leopard and the latest one I can use with certain programs. Oh, the 3.6 comes from Firefox. My antecedents really aren't clear in that line are they? Wow. Massive basic writing failure right there. I'm running Firefox 3.6.24. I think 3.6 went along for another 6 months or so past that. To 3.6.28? .27? I'm really not sure, but either way I'm running one of the last available release for 3.6, the one I found most stable. I'm also running one of the official releases for Firefox 4. 4.0, or 4.01, it's not open right now so I'm going on memory. I tend to keep a beta version and a stable version of Firefox at the same time, though on this computer I have to maintain things that are a year or two old because I'm waiting for other things to catch up. Which is why I have one of the last official releases of both 3.6 and 4. But still, my 3.6 (which is my main choice) is just over a year old. My Safari is actually older but it's not my main browser and I can't update it without changing OS, iirc. It's 5.0.6, and I believe that's the last pre-Snow Leopard release, but Safari is always a back up for me so I know a whole hell of a lot less about it. When I program I tend to program back a minimum of 3 years or 3 official releases. Granted, I'm more of a conservative, but still. We're talking about a year, year and a half for Firefox. I didn't really think that it would be a problem.

Since my rambling confused me as much as anyone I'm repeating those numbers again here: OS: 10.5.8 Firefox: 3.6.24 and 4.0/4.01 Safari: 5.0.6

The 3.6.24 Firefox is my primary browser.
