Hello jgartin88

Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac(like yours) and require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

15.0 need Intel also, Firefox 15.0 System Requirements

The latest supported version for your mac is 3.6.28 you can download from here(but remember works but it is unsupported):

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Firefox 3.6 System Requirements

1. Download a new copy of the Firefox program(3.6.28) from the above link

2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-) install.

3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.28).

Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

[For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, if you like, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8]

hello, yes the powerpc platform is no longer supported by apple or mozilla anymore (when i remember it correctly support for firefox ended quite a time before firefox 15 already).

if you want to continue using an updated browser, you might have a look at the tenfourfox-project (though it doesn't support plugins): www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
