I have a 2012 MacBook running 10.8.5 because it only has 8GB and can not run a newer version of the OS. I think telling someone who has clearly indicated he/she can not update their computer to update their computer is a but unreasonable. That's clearly no longer the case (extended support for Flash Player 10.3 expired on July 9th, as explained in the link your provided), thanks for pointing it out, I've edited my answer accordingly. However, since it wasn't stated explicitely, I chose the wording 'which seems to be supported by Adobe'. So I inferred that Adobe supported that Flash version too. I seem to remember that back in February (when I first answered the question) the article linked () listed a Flash Player for Mac OS X 10.5.x. Chrome, either: Google Chrome on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) will stop receiving any updates following Chrome 21.Apple no longer releases Safari updates for Mac OS X 10.5 (as stated ).Is the latest version that supports Leopard on Intel-based Macs as Firefox 17 requires 10.6 or newer. Firefox processors (PowerBook, PowerMac): Firefox 3.6.28 is the last version of Firefox that works with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on a computer with a PowerPC processor.You can still download for 10.5 Intel (beware, Flash 10.3 is an archived version and is ). TenFourFox supports add-ons, but not plugins, that is, you can't use Flash at all. TenFourFox seems to be actively developed (version 17.0.3 was released Feb 16 2013). If you use a PowerPC processor you may want to try.If you use an Intel processor you can use: Opera 12 OS X Leopard (10.5), or greater: 32-bit and 64-bit Intel systems supported Opera supports Flash Player plug-in.Intel-based Mac: (thanks to for this one!) with (beware, Flash 10.3 is an archived version and is ).My question: Are there any browsers (perhaps a firefox variant) I can use more safely now than the browsers that shipped with 10.5.8? For the impatient: You have two possibilities: I know that using an older version of flash can be a security hazard, so I really want to update. Safari keeps telling me to update flash too. Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera no longer support OS X 10.6.8 I understand where you're coming from, computers aren't cheap, however, the reality is OS X 10.6 is simply too old for modern web technology. Meanwhile Mac OS 10.6 itself is a huge security hole. I tried to update my browsers, but neither firefox nor chrome supports mac os 10.5.8 anymore. I tried, but it didn't work because my browsers (firefox and chrome) didn't support the newest flash. Sometime in 2012, Adobe Flash asked me to update it.
