Opera isn't working on my Mac.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

So I have an iMac, G3, 10.1 OS. I'm told I cant upgrade to Tiger, I cant get to AOL mail because Explorer is too old and cant upgrade because they stopped upgrading for mac.
Firefox is downloaded, but wont open. it's a .dmg file and I dont understand what that means. So, I just spent an assload on broadband, and cant do one of two things I use the net for...reading my email.
Help. Me.

From what I've gathered after a quick Google search, you double click on the DMG file and it should mount a virtual drive on your desktop and you install it from there. I'm not really familiar with it since my last Mac was a Quadra ages ago.

Allyson,
a .dmg file is an extension for a disk image file for Macs. If your computer has Stuffit Expander on it, clicking on the file should open it automatically. If you don't have Stuffit Expander, you should be able to download it for 10.1 (choose 10. 1 from the pulldown menu and don't worry about filling the stuff out - it's only for tech support) here: [link]

All is well that ends in pizza.
-You can upgrade to Panther. (10.3)
-You can open the .dmg (disk Image) by going into the Utilities folder and running Disk Utility, and find the selection for opening an image.
It should automatically mount, but sometimes 10.1 had problems with newer images.
-You can upgrade to Tiger, you just need a 3rd party utility called XpostFacto to do so.

Oh! I should have been more specific, it does mount a virtual drive, but then nothing happens. I click, I get a picture of the fox, and, well, it's a huge file for just a pic of the fox. But it doesn't open the browser.

Though, in 10.1, I recall having some tough problems with the .dmz,g, all the rest--it's part of the reason I scrapped using it until 10.2.
ETA: Allyson, if you downloaded the most recent version of firefox, it will not work for Mac OS pre 10.3. You will have to find an older version of it for download and install.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The system requirments pages says Firefox needs "Mac OS X 10.2.x and later." [link]

Yeah, I could barely get it to work in 10.3. I finally had to locate an older version, which works okay, but not as cleanly as it should.
