Sorry, but it's the PowerPC processor. The latest builds of Firefox are only compiled to run on newer Macs with Intel processors.

A separate group of people has adapted Firefox 10 to run on the PowerPC processor, so if you want to change from the current version, you could try this: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
