One of our computers is a mac laptop. It used to run an older version of MacOS, and Firefox would sometimes crash when playing FF... sometimes Safari would crash.
Upgraded to Snow Leopard... and now no browser works.
Is anyone using Snow Leopard? If so, which browser are you using?
If need be, we can downgrade to the prior version, but I was hoping to get Snow Leopard to work.
thanks...

I don't think they ever made it possible to work Fufa on Snow Leapard yet. You have to change your settings in order to make it work.

Gah~! I wish I remembered by heart, there was a whole thread that was on the original forums but I never thought to save it. I'll try and find it again for you.

Cool - then a little sister can stop bugging her big brother to borrow his computer. And by "his" computer, I mean "my" computer.  [edit: removed typos]

OHOHOHOHOH -raises hand- I know how  !!!!!!!!!!! I'm using Snow Leopard... I use Safari. Well, you click on the safari icon, and hold it... then you click option>show in finder>then, you click the little gear symbol next to the eye, and then you look at the list, and click "Get Info"> then, under the little color things, there should be a box that says "Open in 32 bit mode" check that... FF only runs on 32 bit mode computers, luckily, Snow leopard gives you the option whether or not you want 64 bit mode, or 32 bit mode. After that, FF should be working... Reply if it doesn't...

Didn't work.  Instead of "Open in 32-bit mdoe" it had an option "Open in Rosetta", which I checked on. But Safari still crashed - it got a littler farther, but still crashed. Same laptop with 1 gig of RAM used to run FF, but since it got upgraded to 2G and Snow Leopard.... it hasn't run FF a single time. Every time's a crash. Ah well, I'll try something else.

King kinda beat me to it. But instead of using the hassle I use Firefox. Each time I clear the settings to make it run faster. That's all I can say on it..

So the final answer was - I had to reload the older version of the operating system on it. The newer version required newer hardware. (The laptop is old... 2006)
Now that I down[\i]graded the operating system, both Firefox and Safari work for FF again.
