Default Re: Need help on a Legacy setup

Of course, since Safari refuses to load any page I need, I have been also searching via my Windows 10 PC(which has no issues downloading .dmg files and has done many so far). Every google search comes up with several options, such as :
tenfoxfour
firefox version 16
Vivaldi
Omniweb
Stainless
but I can't find an actual download for any(found firefox 16.2, but of course, that version will not install on Leopard)
Any ideas will be appreciated
I have no idea - really - but -

1) Looks like this article links to a download for Firefox 16.0.2
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7026343
Maybe that'll work?

2) OR...
Skip the Mac browser idea completely. Use Win10 to get whatever installers you need, carry them over to the Mac, and install?

Good luck!
