Mozilla Puts Tiger Out To Pasture

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-a-new-kitty dept.

Barence writes "Mozilla is ready to exorcise support for Mac OS X 10.4 from Firefox's development code, closing the door on Apple's aging OS. The foundation stopped supporting 10.4, codenamed Tiger, in September 2009, but, according to Josh Aas, a Mozilla platform engineer, 'we left much of the code required to support that platform in the tree in case we wanted to reverse that decision." We had come to a point where we need to make a final decision and either restore 10.4 support or remove this (large) amount of 10.4 specific code,' he notes on the Mozilla developer planning forum."

    They should support Windows 98.

    Java, likewise, is crappy on everything.

    I thought consistency is a good thing?
