Feature Request: Add Support for End-Of-Life MacBook Pro (Intel Mac)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,
Unfortunately Mac 10.5 running Intel Mac on MacBook Pro is no longer supported:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-x-10-5

So they want everyone to pay for an upgrade which doesn't even run well on the 
old hardware or be left vulnerable on FF16.

If TenFourFox would ever consider a build for the old Intel Mac I am sure 
others would greatly appreciate it as well. FireFox ESR is the way to go. :)

At any rate keep up the good work for the PowerPCs.

Thanks.

At one point an Intel build did exist of 17.0.2. However, issue 209 could not 
be solved.

One solution is to simply not support Intel 10.4, but the original person 
maintaining that build no longer has a 10.6 system that can generate the 
binaries, so it has fallen into disrepair.

The Intel build needs a maintainer -- if you are willing to do so, or know 
someone who is, then by all means please step forward. Much of the porting work 
is already done, though please note we are transitioning to Fx31 shortly. 
However, I've got too much work to do supporting the Power Macs, so I can't 
maintain it myself.
