Any thing I can do to upgrade this Dual 2.3 G5 Please?

[postman56]

I'd really appreciate if anyone can provide a little insight or a link if there is anything I can do to get Kijiji to operate again on my aging Dual 2.3 Power Mac operating 10.5.8 with Ten Four Fox Release 30 SR-1.
I can't seem to login in anymore, and the small tumbnai photos do not show up in my brouser anymore either.
I understand this is just about finished as a useful tower, but as for speed, start-up, etc, it's stills works great.

Thanks, is there much I need to do, after downloading it? Do you just just it as a browser?

Well, a quick check says you're not running the latest version of TFF, but considering how old the base for it is, there may be nothing you can do to fix it. What I believe @MrVitalic is pointing you towards would be Leopard Webkit, a browser that's a little more current, even if it's got some major stability issues.

If Kijiji doesn't work using this, then about all you can really do is try out Linux.

Would Arctic Fox be worth trying?

So this finally happened. Sort of...

I've been picking away at this for awhile now. It works, mostly, and it's far from 100% complete, but it does browse the web. Mainly i have a few UI / Menu bar issues to look in to, and initial profile creation seems to barf, so i just created a new profile in 10.6 and copied it over. For the...

God, I usually don't even consider it because it's too broken for my taste, but yeah, it probably would be.

@postman56 I don't have an account but with Leopard Webkit I got as far as trying to login with a dud ID - got me past the Captcha - TFF wouldn't get that far.

Just tried WebKit from over here on my PB G4 and am also running into the same issue of missing thumbnails on listings for for there and also on the latest version of TFF (and using a user agent string of Firefox 81 on macOS 10.13, same as my intel iMac).

This is disappointing because it reveals kijiji/ebay have foregone accessibility design standards which allow for web sites to “fail” gracefully in their basic functionality.

@B S Magnet : I see you'v got a firmtek seritek1v4 in your g5 Nice card man.

Whatever website you are all having issues with, it’s working fine on my PB 1Ghz titanium.

I digress.... here is kijjii just working as it should be.

No, @Macbookprodude, you need to search on a something within a category and look at the results. The thumbnails for the search hits will be unfilled grey boxes instead of thumbnail photos of the hits.

(Kijiji dwarfs Craigslist use in Canada, so this is kind of a big deal.)

I will try it later.. though the website is not important to me as I have no use for it, but just to see it load the pics - will post the result.

I think you’ve already shown us your results with the above screen cap.

I didn’t go all the way into it. Going to play around more with it.
