[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1820966, member: 190607"] I still have an old iMac in my office running OS X 10.6.8 so that I can still use some legacy software. So I've run up against this problem. Safari in OS X 10.6 is tied to that version of OS X. It can't be upgraded without upgrading the entire OS. Unfortunately Safari in Snow Leopard has become severely dated and it is now unstable and incompatible with some Web sites. Also unfortunately, many modern third party Web browsers aren't compatible with OS X 10.6. The perfect solution would be to find an older version of a modern third party browser that isn't so new that it doesn't support OS X 10.6, but which is new enough that it supports all or most modern Web technologies. Fortunately, Firefox has an archive of all past versions for download! This version of Firefox is a close to ideal compromise. It is fairly modern, it supports HTML 5, and it is completely stable under OS X 10.6: Firefox (48.0.2) (free) [url=https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/48.0.2/]Directory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/48.0.2/[/url] You can set Firefox to be your default Web browser within Firefox: Firefox menu --> Preferences --> General --> Always Check That Firefox Is Your Default Browser [/QUOTE]
