Hi,
I've searched the internet but I can't find any solution!
I'm using Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 13inch late 2008.
I can't update to El Captain on the App Store and I'm worried that I can't browse the internet as all internet browsers I currently have (Safari, Chrome and Firefox) don't support my system anymore.
Are there any web browsers I can use to support my system without updating?
Or any solutions on how to update my system?
Thanks in advance.
Last supported version of Firefox ESR 45.9 here (final update May 2017)
This is a more recent, more secure web browser for OS X 10.7.
Firefox 45.9 ESR .dmg install file here.
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/45.9.0esr/mac/en-US/
Dbl click to download, locate the Firefox 45.9 ESR.dmg on your Mac.
Dbl click on the file and it should put up both a disk drive looking image and a pop up installation window.
Drag the Firefox Application icon into the Application folder shortcut icon in the same install window.
The go to your Applications folder, find Firefox, the launch it!
You may need to update Adobe Flash Player to the last compatible version for Firefox 45.9
You need to use Adobe's Flash Player uninstaller, first, to uninstall the older Adobe Flash Player.

On the Adobe Flash Player section of the Adobe website, you will need to look for the last Adobe Flash Player version compatible with Mozilla Firefox 45.9.
This is the Adobe Flash Player you are looking for on the Adobe web site.
Adobe Shockwave Flash version 26.0.0.137
Look toward the bottom half of this webpage link.
https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_26.0.0.1 31_archive.zip
Once downloaded on your Mac, dbl-click to open the zIp file
Dbl click to Install the Mac OS version if there is one listed in the archive file (might be a .dmg file).
When you open that Adobe Flash Player archive file, it will create an archive folder.
Dbl click that folder, two other folders will appear.
Click the first folder WITHOUT THE words debug in it!
When that folder opens you are looking for a Mac OS .dmg file with this name
flashplayer26_0r0_131_mac.dmg
Dbl click on this and begin the install procedure from the brownish red Adobe install folder that appears.
Good Luck!

Use iCab. Supports 10.7 thru 10.12. Continuous development since Mac OS 7.5 classic.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite/El Capitan.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
`
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.
Applications Compatibility (2)
El Capitan 10.11 Compatibility information
macOS Sierra 10.12: Compatible Apps
Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.
Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
Safari in 10.7.5 will keep working as usual. Your other browsers that work now, should be working also I suppose.
However the browsers that are "not supported" anymore will no longer have the security updates, so are less safe.
Macbook late 2008 13": max OS 10.7.5
Thanks.
Is it safe to use Safari to browse the internet? If I'm still running on 10.7.5
Yes reaonably; use your brain to not answer obvious scams....
