The end of the road for Firefox 2The end of the road for Firefox 2Posted Nov 6, 2008 13:36 UTC (Thu) by rmn30 (guest, #36960)Parent article: The end of the road for Firefox 2
It's not just ancient MS Windows systems which can't use Firefox 3. At work we are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (we just upgraded from RHEL3) and I haven't yet managed to get FireFox 3 to work, even using the statically linked build, because it has a shared library dependency on libpangocairo. Mozilla's definition of 'static' obviously differs from the usual one I'm familiar with...
Now I could track down and compile all the dependencies myself but honestly who has the time? Also it's much more fun to whine about it on LWN.

Firefox 3 also has dropped support for older MacOS versions like 10.3 that still get security updates from Apple. To be fair, Apple hasn't backported their latest Safari version to work on 10.3 either...

Wow. I have this exact same problem. Now I wonder if we work at the same place. :-)
