#Firefox for mac 10 5 for mac os x

Maintaining Mac OS X 10.5 support consumes a non-trivial portion of the resources we have available for Mac OS X development.

This requires resources, and with limited resources this sometimes means we have to make tough decisions about where to invest. This number should be around 9% for users of the most recent version of Firefox.ДЄpple releases new versions of its operating systems relatively quickly and each new version contains significant changes that we must adapt to. This means that when Firefox 13 ships, Mac OS X 10.5 users will likely make up about 13% of Mac OS X users across all versions of Firefox. Trends) Mac OS X 10.5 users have been declining by 1-2% per month (as a share of our total Mac OS X users). If you limit the scope to the more recent Firefox 7 release, then only 20% of Mac OS X users are on Mac OS X 10.5. Of those Mac OS X users, 9% are on Mac OS X 10.4, 24% are on Mac OS X 10.5, 53% are on Mac OS X 10.6, and 14% are on Mac OS X 10.7. Mac OS X users make up 6.6% of all Firefox users across all versions going back to Firefox 3. Mac OS X User Breakdown) The following ADU (Active Daily User) numbers are from November 8, 2011. Mac OS X Release Dates) 10.5 was released in October of 2007, 10.6 was released in June of 2009, 10.7 was released in July of 2011.

To be clear: this is not a decision that has been made, IвЂ™m proposing it here in order to get feedback. I'd like to propose that we remove support for Mac OS X 10.5 in Firefox 13, which should ship on or near June 5, 2012.
