How do I get back to 3.6? 4 says it won't work with my configuration, even though I'm running 10.5.8

I downloaded Firefox 4 & it overwrote 3.6. F is saying that it will not open with my configuration even though I'm running 10.5.8. How do I find & download 3.6? I'm totally screwed, since I can't seem to import my bookmarks, setting, etc, into Safari or any other browser.

Unfortunately, Firefox 4 supports only Mac OS X 10.5 and above on Intel hardware. The system that you are currently using is no longer supported by Firefox (details can be found here).

You can revert back to previous version of Firefox by following these steps:

  1. Open the Applications folder.
  2. Drag the Firefox application to the Trash.
  3. Download and install Firefox 3.6 from here.

I saw nothing in the systems requirements that requires Intel processors. That needs to be be clearly specified.

Mozilla has made it impossible to find the earlier version - I spend nearly an hour on the site trying to find 3.6. Fortunately, I remembered that I have my backup drive & recovered if from there.

I located 3.6 & downloaded it successfully; unfortunately, it continues to crash w/in seconds of opening it (below is the error message i'm receiving). Is anyone else experiencing this & if so, how can I get some help?
