It pains me to say so, but it's just not worth it, especially if I, the browser's only official beneficiary, am rarely using it personally these days. All it does is just get us that much closer to an impenetrable dead end. We could try to port 52ESR as a whole, but we would potentially suffer some significant regressions in the process, and because there is no Rust support for 32-bit PowerPC on OS X we couldn't build anything past Firefox 54 anyway. There are also front end changes required to deal with certain minifiers (more about this in a moment) but they can all be traced back to a monstrous 2.5MB commit which is impossible to split up piecemeal. We have some minimal syntactic support for the feature but it covers only the simplest of use cases incompletely. However, at the time it required substantial changes to both JavaScript and the runtime environment and had lots of regressions and bugs to pick up. The biggest is async and await support which landed in Firefox 52, and which many sites now expect to run at all. Besides various layout and DOM features we don't support well like CSS grid, there are large JavaScript updates we'll increasingly need which are formidably complex tasks. We're running on fumes technologically as well. You can read about the technical differences in more detail. All of this kept Firefox 45, our optimal platform base, useful for far longer than the sell-by date and made it an important upstream source for other legacy browsers (including, incredibly, OS/2). There are also innumerable backported bug fixes throughout major portions of the browser which repair long-standing issues.

Over the decade TenFourFox has existed we also implemented our own native date and time controls, basic ad block, advanced Reader View (including sticky and automatic features), additional media support (MP3, MP4 and WebP), additional features and syntax to JavaScript, and AltiVec acceleration in whatever various parts of the browser we could. Our implementation even lets you manipulate webpages that may not work properly to function usefully. We also finished a couple features long planned for mainline Firefox but that never made it, such as our AppleScript (and AppleScript-JavaScript bridge) support.

TenFourFox was the first and still one of the few browsers on PowerPC Mac OS X to support TLS 1.3 (or even 1.2), and we are the only such browser with a JavaScript JIT. I'm also proud of the fair number of TenFourFox features that were successfully backported or completely new.

Also, effective immediately, there will be no further updates to TenFourFoxBox, the QuickTime Enabler, the MP4 Enabler or the TenFourFox Downloader, though you will still be able to download them.
You can still use it, but if you want to do so, you will be responsible for building the browser yourself and this gives you a few months to learn how. I'll call this 'hobby mode,' because the browser will be a hobby I purely maintain for myself, with no concessions, no version tags (rolling release only), no beta test period and no regular schedule. There will be no planned beta releases after FPR32 but Tenderapp will remain available to triage bugfixes for new changes only.Īfter that date, for my own use I will still make security patches backported from the new Firefox 91ESR publicly available on Github and possibly add any new features I personally need, but I won't promise these on any particular timeline, I won't make or release any builds for people to download, I won't guarantee any specific feature or fix, I won't guarantee timeliness or functionality, and there will be no more user support of any kind including on Tenderapp. I will guarantee security and stability patches through and including Firefox 93 (scheduled for September 7) to the best of my ability, which is also the point at which Firefox 78ESR will stop support, and I will continue to produce, generate and announce builds of TenFourFox with those security updates on the regular release schedule with chemspills as required.

Security parity means that the browser will only receive security updates plus certain critical fixes (as I define them, such as crash wallpaper, basic adblock and the font blacklist). After FPR32 is released TenFourFox will drop to security parity and the TenFourFox site will become a placeholder.

(A beta will come out this week, stay tuned.) However, there are still many users of TenFourFox - the update server reports about 2,000 daily checkins on average - and while nothing has ever been owed or promised I also appreciate that many people depend on it, so there will be a formal transition period.
TenFourFox FPR32 will be the last official feature parity release of TenFourFox.
