But that failed to placate protesters, who stormed the premier's private residence and set it alight after night fell. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, the first person in line to succeed Rajapaksa, called a meeting with political leaders and said he was willing to step down to pave the way for a unity government. Security forces attempted to disperse the huge crowds that had mobbed Colombo's administrative district. Soon after the crowd stormed the presidential palace, Rajapaksa's nearby seafront office also fell into the hands of protesters. The colonial-era mansion he left is one of Sri Lanka's key symbols of state power, and officials said Rajapaksa's departure raised questions as to whether he intended to remain in office. 'He is still the president, he is being protected by the navy.' He said the president had boarded a naval craft at the Colombo port, which later moved to the southern waters of the island. 'The president was escorted to safety,' a top defence source told AFP on condition of anonymity. Shortly beforehand, troops guarding the residence fired in the air to hold the crowd back until Rajapaksa was safely removed. Others were seen laughing and lounging in the stately bedrooms of the residence, with one pulling out what he claimed was a pair of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's underwear. After storming the gates of the presidential palace, hundreds of people could be seen in live broadcasts on social media walking through its rooms, with some among the boisterous crowd jumping into the compound's pool.

Hundreds of thousands of people massed in the capital Colombo through the morning to demand the government take responsibility for mismanaging the nation's finances, and for months of crippling food and fuel shortages. Sri Lankan protesters set the prime minister's private home on fire, hours after chasing the president from his residence, as months of frustration over an unprecedented economic crisis boiled over on Saturday. If you're using a perfectly decent and still loved PPC Mac, now is the time to furnish it with a modern browser and extend its life on the Web for years to come. You'll also get WebM video support, access to most of the Firefox 4 add-ons and, of course, HTML5 and CSS3 support.

With the upgrade from Firefox 3.6, you get all the JavaScript speed improvements that Mozilla rolled into Firefox 4, making it by far the fastest browser available for the PPC-Mac. In fact, TenFourFox is offered in hand-tuned builds for each PPC processor: the G3, the G4/7400 and /7450 and, of course, the G5.

TenFourFox takes code from Firefox 4 and tunes it for OS X 10.4 (compatible with 10.5) and the PPC-architecture.

If you're one of these users lovingly still using PPC Macs, the folks behind the Mac Classic browser, Classilla, have come to your rescue and brought Firefox 4, with nearly all the trimmings, to the now discarded Mac architecture.

Unfortunately for some Mac users, Mozilla decided to drop support for PowerPC processors and therefore Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger from FF4, meaning that G3, G4 and G5 users were left out in the cold. If you've never vacuumed places.sqlite before you are likely to notice a significant improvement in UI responsiveness.Firefox 4 received quite a bit of fanfare when it finally rolled out of beta. You can schedule automatic optimizations or you can set it to alert you on your schedule as to when to optimize.

Here's an addon called Vacuum Places Improved that can help. The file can be optimized, or 'vacuumed' as it's termed in Mozilla addon language. Like all databases, over time, the file can become fragmented and bloated. Mozilla based browsers (including TenFourFox) can be slowed down by the fact that the browser is searching the database in this file for appropriate information. If you rely on the URL bar to prompt you for places you've been to вЂ“ that information is also stored in this file. It's a file inside your profile folder and if you retain your history and have a lot of bookmarks the file can grow. Ever wonder where Mozilla browsers store your bookmarks and history? Well, it's actually stored in a database file called 'places.sqlite'.
