    Firefox 54 still supports ML

    Hi, I am still running ML on an old 1 gen MBA. I have successfully installed the new FF 54 by changing the LSMinimumSystemVersion in Show Package contents - Contents - info.plist to 10.8.0 So ML will still have a updated, secured and supported browser for at least a couple more years… Cheers

    Require simple help with MacPostFactor installing Mav's on Late 2007 MacBook

    Few days ago I successfully installed Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on a late 2007 MacBook. Thought it would solve my issues with my phone no longer syncing in iTunes. Turns out iOS 10 requires iTunes 12.5 and up, which is supported only on Yosemite and later OS's, so I'm going up to that. Now I'm...

I tried TRMJIJ's upgrade to Yosemite (Mainly cause I had success with it back when I had an 08...
