The introduction of Mac OSX involved a complete change to the Mac operating system. All earlier Mac operating systems are considered obsolete by developers. Versions of modern browsers and security updates for older browsers are no longer available. Consequently, the use of OS9 and earlier systems should be avoided, especially online. The last version of Mozilla for Mac OS9 was Version 1.2.1 released in 2002. However Mozilla does not recommend its use for security reasons.
