Firefox 4 Does Not Run on Non-Intel G5 iMac

I have a G5 iMac/Power PC/NON-Intel. I keep getting alerts to upgrade to Firefox version 4. Clearly, that's impossible because version 4 doesn't run on a non-Intel G5 iMac. Is Firefox going to leave people like me in the lurch, or is there an update in progress for iMacs that can't support Intel-associated software?

There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
