Mozilla has announced that future versions of the Firefox browser will no longer support Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger'.

The move is designed to allow Mozilla to move ahead with the development of features not supported by Tiger, said Mozilla engineer Josh Aas on the mozilla.dev.planning mailing list on Friday.

"Mac OS X 10.4 was released in April of 2005 and a lot has changed since then," Aas wrote. "We would like to take advantage of more modern technologies on Mac OS X and 10.4 support has been a hindrance."
