Mac 400 Mhz Power PC / OS 10.3.9 ; 512 MB SD Ram Shut down computer after last Firefox use on July 17, 2010 Restarted computer on July 18, 2010 Entire application missing (did a find - only Firefox alias, dmg, and support files found / bookmarks backup ok) Never had a Firefox problem before and I do extensive searches w/ bookmarks going back several years (history for book research) Forum says problem solved - couldn't find anything that matched what happened to me Can I download my older Firefox version and use my bookmarks?

Upgrading to OS beyond 10.3.9 not an option due to many files upgraded from OS 8 & 9
