Firefox 22.0 can run on Mac 10.5.8 (Leopard) since it has code i386?

Firefox 22.0 has 1386 code (such as x86_64), and the only difference in Info.plist is basically being instead of 10.5 10.6 as in Firefox 16.0.2 LSMinimumSystemVersion. So why can't Firefox 22.0 running Leopard (10.5.8) with simple changes to the Version numbers?

I have a Mac Mini Intel core duo under Leopard and a core 2 duo Intel Macbook Pro under Snow Leopard. I would like to run 22.0 Firefox on my Mac Mini, as I do on my Macbook Pro, but with the i386 code, that is built into Firefox 22.0. Currently I can only run Firefox on my Mac-Mini 16.0.2, also using the i386 code.

Is it possible for to upgrade you to a new operating system? 16 of Firefox is more than 3 years and has many security problems that have been fixed in newer versions.

If you are unable to upgrade to a new operating system, I'm not sure that it is really possible to do anything. Ordinarilly, I would recommend the engagement of web browsers, but Chrome requires snow leopard or later version as well and the version of safari that came with leopard will be obsolete at this point as well.
While you can try to change the LSMinimumSystemVersion info.plist file, it probably won't work, because the newer versions of firefox use apple of new features into the operating system.

In addition, you must pass the version of firefox on your macbook to the latest version (38), who will work with snow leopard. You can download it from http://mozilla.org/firefox.
