if using leopard 10.5.x on intel cpu you are going to need a copy of Firefox 3.6

i was told v21 is usable but it didnt work for me on 10.5.7

ableton live on a powerpc g4 running tiger osx 10.4.11 -- Version 8.42 seems to be a tiny bit too much for the cpu.. or the gpu... (which is a radeon 9000 pro in this case) anyway according to the interwebs::
Live 8 Version: 8.4.2 (updated February 3, 2014)
pretty safe to say that a powerpc app that was updated + released in 2014... is not gonna be optimized properly for a powerpc g4.  but we can check the last versions of ableton live 8 here: https://www.ableton.com/en/release-notes/live-8/ errr actually no that doesnt tell us much because it doesnt say anything about initial version of 8.. which was released on 2 April 2009 https://www.ableton.com/en/press/press-archive/press-archive-release-8/ even in 2009 its highly doubtful that anyone was properly tweaking things for performance on a power pc g4! given that most if not all software companies abandoned the platform in 2005. so even tho ableton live 8 works on tiger 10.4.11.. its probably best to use v7!!!! instead of v8

heres a link for live lite 7 - this version should be good to go on a powerpc g4,
requiring no license (demo mode)
