My old PowerMac G5 is still up and running. The best computer of 2006 is still pretty good on 2017, mainly thanks to the guys from the browser TenFourFox. This Firefox version for PowerMac architecture is very good and keeps the G5 able to use the “modern” Internet. The same guys that did the browser now present TenFourFoxBox, which lets you create “Apps” based on Web sites. Now you can have a FaceBook or Telegram App on your PowerMac. It is not really Apps on G5 but it is the closest you can get.
Follow this tutorial to see how you can easily create these Web Apps.
Installing Firefox on Mac. Visit the Firefox download page in any browser (for example, Safari). It will automatically detect the platform and language on your computer and recommend the best version of Firefox for you. Click Download Firefox.

Step 1 – Download TenFourFoxBox here. (Click on “download TenFourFoxBox” at the bottom of the page)
Step2 – Unpack and mount Dmg file, then run TenFourFoxBox. (You can do it straight from the mounted drive)
Step3 – Click on “choose” button and type the App name you want to create, in this example we created a “Messenger.app”. Then type the Url of the Web app you want to create, on this example we typed “https://www.messenger.com”. You need to include the http:// or https://. At the bottom type the Title of the app which will appear on the window, for example, we typed “Messenger”. To finish click ” Create”.
Step 4 – Now you will have a Messenger App. But with a very ugly icon saying FoxBox. So let’s change it.Right-click and then click on Show Package Contents.
Step 5 – Got to Contents->Resources and find the “fox box.icns”, and then delete it. Hold this folder open, we are going to use it soon.
Step 6 – Find yourself an icon for your app. It needs to be on .icns extension. We found ours at iconsArchive.com, by searching and selection Download ICNS. You can also look for some online converters and convert a png file to .icns.
Step 7 – Rename the downloaded icon to “firebox.icns” and place on your opened window, the one that you deleted the .icns file before.
Step 8 – Now you will have your Messenger.app ready to use.
