@ -68,6 +68,7 @@ There are several causes for this message:
* You accidentally downloaded Firefox, not TenFourFox. Firefox is an Intel-only application and will not run on a Power Mac.
* You accidentally downloaded the wrong architecture version. A Power Mac G3 will not run anything but the G3 version; the G4 or G5 versions will either give you this message or not run at all.
* The download is corrupt. Verify that it downloaded properly; you can confirm the archive is intact with [[our list of checksum hashes|Hashes]].
* The tool you used to unzip 10.4Fx corrupted it. **Do not use third-party unzipping tools (such as Zipeg and others) to open the `.zip` file; it may corrupt the application.** Use the native OS X archive utility that comes with Tiger and Leopard (it is in `/System/Library/CoreServices/BOMArchiveHelper.app`, or you can try right-clicking on the `.zip` file and selecting it from the `Open With...` list).

When you visit a site with plugin content, an informational box may appear on the page where the plugin would normally appear. Sites may also tell you that you have no plugins installed. This is intentional, so that the site can try to present alternate content that does not require a plugin.
Some users have had success with [SandboxSafari](http://www.floodgap.com/software/sandboxsafari/), which is a way to run the Safari WebKit engine with reduced privileges. This can then run plugins like Flash with reduced privileges, making them less likely to be exploited successfully. However, this method is only a _safer_ way to use them and is not completely safe, and although it includes TenFourFox integration, officially we don't offer any support for people who use this tool. You use it at your own risk.
Between 6.0 and 17.0.11 an undocumented, unsupported plugin enable setting existed. This option is now completely gone because Mozilla completely removed the older compatibility code. If you turned it on in a previous version of TenFourFox, it will not work in version 19.0 and higher.
