 > (That is, according to
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/SupportedPlatforms
 , we wouldn't ordinarily support 10.9, since it's "OSX past EOL".  But if
 TB needs it, we should support it, and we should maybe revise our policy,
 I guess.)

 Replying to [comment:6 gk]:
 > https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/60.0esr/system-requirements/ has
 the system requirements for Firefox which we follow. Thus, if you could
 support 10.9 for the time being that would be neat.

 I updated our support policy so that we will Maintain:
 * OS X / macOS supported by Tor Browser (but not Apple)
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/SupportedPlatforms?action=diff&version=13

 Let's handle support for unsupported Windows and Linux as needed.
