249151 - Mac OS X is supporting G3 or later.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Hiro]

There is PowerPC 604e 266 MHz as System Requirements of the Mac environment.
But I think that OS X is supporting only G3 or the machine which carried the
newest processor from it.

When correcting, the following pages also need to be corrected.

correct, see http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/requirements.html

> http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/guide/get-started.html

the page doesn't specify processor generation, so it doesn't need to be corrected.

-> fixed

Rafael -- can you review system requirements here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/system-requirements.html

And recommend whether or not we need to remove "PowerPC 604e 266 MHz" from supported Mac hardware? Issue is that OS X is not supported on this system, yet Firefox 1.5 only runs on OS X 10.2 and above.

Fixed for Firefox and Thunderbird sys requirements.  Minimum should be what's stated with Mac OS X 10.2.

Not sure how we want to handle Mozilla 1.x.  What's there looks fine.

Closing this out, unless there are any takers to reopen. Bueller?
