Mozilla’s stats from January 25 of this year show that users on 10.4 account for about 24 percent of Mac users running Firefox 3.5 and about 12 percent running the recent 3.6 update-all told, almost 1.5 million out of more than 6 million Mac Firefox users. On Thursday, Mozilla developer Josh Aas laid out the case for dropping support for Tiger altogether, in order to take advantage of more modern features introduced in Leopard and Snow Leopard. Support for Tiger was dropped from the development version of Mozilla’s Gecko framework last September, but the required code for supporting 10.4 was left intact, in case that decision was changed. While the final nail has yet to be driven into the purest Carpathian wood of 10.4’s coffin, the writing for the striped cat appears to be on the wall. According to our cousins at Computerworld, the developers of Mozilla’s Firefox Web browser are deep in discussions about the future of the program on Mac OS X Tiger.
