The copy will be renamed with an appended. If you think that you might need to access any of these again, go to ~ /Library/Application Support/Arctic Fox/Profiles/ and duplicate (Cmd +D, or drag & drop) your current profile inside of the same directory. The following operation will remove all History entries. Following the procedure laid out above, I ended up with the sites' favicons not showing at all in the Library. OK, I have to admit that all this is rather clumsy, so if anyone knows of a better procedure or of any tips (especially about importing Search Engines), please post them. For now I'll be using it gradually, as a substitute when something is not working properly in Firefox. All disabled Add-ons and Plugins are there, disabled, so that theoretically they may be tested and/or updated one by one. "Check now" -> AF finds no compatible add-ons.ĪF now starts in Safe mode -> “Disable all add-ons” -> "Make Changes and Restart"ĪF reopens with all Bookmarks and their icons, Passwords, History, but no Search Engines. Launched AF again (quotes “” are for buttons or selections):ĪF checks add-ons, finds 16 out of 29 not to be compatible. I've done it twice, it repeats itself exactly in the same way. Now's when the exciting part began for me. Quit it again.įind the Profile folder AF has just created, similar to Firefox's (“fault” inside Application Support/Arctic Fox), delete its contents and replace them with the contents of the copy of Firefox's Profile on the desktop. After quitting Firefox if it was open, make a copy on the desktop of its current Profile folder ("fault")ĭon't close Application Support folder yet. In same Application Support directory open Firefox folder -> Profiles. If AF has already been launched launched at least once, go (after quitting it) to the directory ~ /Library/Application Support, and delete the folder named Arctic Fox. Instead I've just been experimenting with a hack of sorts. Why it doesn't ask to import from Firefox (ESR 45), Chromium, Yandex, Opera, Epic, OmniWeb etc., which are all installed on that machine, is beyond me. What's really bizarre is that on another machine of mine AF also asks, besides Safari, to import stuff from Chrome. Preferences, History (that are not that important), Passwords and "Other Data" (such as Search Engines) cannot get imported, apparently. Thanks a lot, but that's only for importing Bookmarks.

If you go to a PDF, you'll just get a prompt to download it and you can then read it on your machine with Preview, Adobe Reader etc. UPDATE regarding PDF support: I forgiot to mention that the browser doesn't support reading PDF files by default. Have fun, I hope this post helps all those holding out on old but still great macOS versions. uBlock Origin runs in that browser (press this link in Arctic Fox only): I have found a browser (Arctic Fox) which still supports OS X 10.6 / 10.7 / 10.8, is frequently updated, and is being supplied with the newest Firefox security updates:Īs the Internet is basically unusable without an adblocker, you're probably going to want one. The same is true for Firefox and Chrome, which stopped support for any macOS version below OS X 10.9 Mavericks long ago. One problem of using an OS X version this old is the browser: The internal Safari wasn't updated in ages, having lots of unpatched security issues. Frequently, people on this sub state that they are still using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, OS X 10.7 Lion, or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, either because they like these OS versions or because they are stuck with them as their machines didn't get newer macOS versions from Apple.
