I am not aware of any source for the old plug-ins/add-ons for Firefox. The particular feature you show in your picture is still available in the InterWeb and PaleMoon browser. InterWeb is a continuation of TenFourFox and although it is now focused on Intel machines I believe there are still builds of it available for PPC Tiger and Leopard. PaleMoon I believe only goes back as far as Lion

I use the feature you show in the picture using PaleMoon. I do not like it as much as I do using a News Reader, but older News Readers struggle as much as older browsers. Having that feature is handy, and I do use it.

wasn't TenFourFox a build from FireFox? Perhaps the module/plug-in resource you need for FireFox can be copied from InterWeb if it's compatible? Then again, InterWeb sounds like the go-to web browser since TenFourFox has been put to pasture, so-to-speak? Try to see what you can find there with either route!

The problem i have with tenfourfox/interwebppc is 1.it is way too slow to be usable on most websites and is a resource hog try opening up !0+ tabs in tenfourfox on a G4 and tell me how usable it is compared to a old version of firefox 2. its not the future we have services like 68k.news frogfind.com and so on plus the garden system7today among other forums that
work just fine under firefox 1.5 this febuary 24th ill be receiving a 1.66ghz Core Duo Mac Mini running 10.4.5 and ill still be using firefox 1.5.0.2 as the retro-browser compatible web is the future of retro computing on the internet dare i say the rebellion against forced web-standards

I was under the impression that add-ons for Firefox were architecturally neutral, and in many cases were compatible across many versions of Firefox. I have not looked, but I would think there would be an archive of old add-ons somewhere. (Oh my there is :) <https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive>) You might want to browse and see what you can find and see if they work.
