Now's when the exciting part began for me. Quit it again.įind the Profile folder AF has just created, similar to Firefox's (“fault” inside Application Support/Arctic Fox), delete its contents and replace them with the contents of the copy of Firefox's Profile on the desktop. After quitting Firefox if it was open, make a copy on the desktop of its current Profile folder ("fault")ĭon't close Application Support folder yet. In same Application Support directory open Firefox folder -> Profiles. If AF has already been launched launched at least once, go (after quitting it) to the directory ~ /Library/Application Support, and delete the folder named Arctic Fox. Instead I've just been experimenting with a hack of sorts. Why it doesn't ask to import from Firefox (ESR 45), Chromium, Yandex, Opera, Epic, OmniWeb etc., which are all installed on that machine, is beyond me. What's really bizarre is that on another machine of mine AF also asks, besides Safari, to import stuff from Chrome. Preferences, History (that are not that important), Passwords and "Other Data" (such as Search Engines) cannot get imported, apparently. Thanks a lot, but that's only for importing Bookmarks.

The same is true for Firefox and Chrome, which stopped support for any macOS version below OS X 10.9 Mavericks long ago. One problem of using an OS X version this old is the browser: The internal Safari wasn't updated in ages, having lots of unpatched security issues. In some cases, new service parts come from dis-assembled new computers or larger assemblies.Frequently, people on this sub state that they are still using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, OS X 10.7 Lion, or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, either because they like these OS versions or because they are stuck with them as their machines didn't get newer macOS versions from Apple.
