I really hate having to buy new macs every few years. Between the machines and the software it is a big investment and a whole lot of time setting things up and learning how to use it. I usually keep my macs as long as I can. My only problem now is the browsers. Firefox, Chrome and Safari don't seems to want to support 10.5.8. At least FF and Safari run but there are some sites I visit that don't work well with those old versions and the new versions can't be installed on 10.5.8. Any suggestions on a browser that will let my macs live a little longer?

What is the path to upgrade the OS X to Catalina? I undestand I will need to install interim versions of OS X. I appreciate if I could receive guidance on which versions I need to install in sequence.
