Each FPR includes security and bug fixes as well as varying numbers of new features ported sometimes from the very latest version of Firefox. While the FPR series do not implement every single feature due to feasibility or missing system requirements, they are designed to keep the browser as relevant and compatible with most current websites as possible.

## Are there other PowerPC OS X builds of Firefox? ## Are there other PowerPC OS X builds of Firefox?
We are no longer aware of other current builders. For a period of time AuroraFox issued a 10.5-only build, but is no longer supported as of Firefox 20. There are also some older Firefox rebuilds for Power Macs made directly from Mozilla's source code, but none of them are still maintained either. The long-running SeaMonkeyPPC (10.5 only) has also ceased updates, as has the OS X/ppc version of the Tor Browser Bundle (compatible with 10.4/10.5 and based on 10.4Fx code).

We cannot automatically detect these fonts due to limitations in the system libraries we require to remain compatible with 10.4, so we keep a "blacklist" of webfonts and webfont URLs that are known to cause problems. When the browser is requested to use a font on the blacklist, it quietly drops it and switches to a fallback font which will hopefully display correctly.

Unfortunately, maintaining the "blacklist" is a manual process. Periodically as URLs change or new fonts are used, the blacklist must be updated. If a site you use is causing this problem, you can submit font URLs for investigation. While you can just open a ticket on Tenderapp with the offending website and wait for us to figure it out, a better way to get the problem fixed is to [follow the steps in this support ticket](https://tenfourfox.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/8558-turbotax), which will greatly expedite the process of getting the problem fixed.
