Why does F'fox not allow Downloading latest Version saying I need OS5 or 6 & say my Op.System doesn't support latest when I DO have OSX 10.5.8 & plenty of RAM/HD space?!
As above: When I launch Ff I get link to download latest Version (?4) I get page saying: -Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox isn't compatible with your computer's operating system. When I click "learn more" I get: -Mac Operating Systems
* Mac OS X 10.5 * Mac OS X 10.6
Recommended Hardware
* Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 processor * 512 MB of RAM * 200 MB hard drive space
- I have OSX10.5.8, I have 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 Processor, 1GB DDR SD RAM... What's wrong please - HELP?!?

You have a PPC processor, not an Intel x86 processor.
Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs.

For older Macs that aren't supported in the Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .
