I am trying to upgrade my version of Firefox from 2.0.0.2 (downloaded Nov. 2007) to the new version 3.6.12. on my IMac desktop computer.

When I download the file I receive a white and grey icon that says Firefox 3.6.12.dmg. When I click on this icon I receive the error message: mounting disk failed; image corrupt.

Firefox 3.0 and 3.5/6 versions require at least Mac OS X 10.4

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last release that runs on Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3

See:

Mac: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

If you have Mac OS X 10.4 or newer then do this:

  • Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded.

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

Other things that need attention.

Your above posted system details show two old Flash 9 plugins that you should remove and update to the latest Flash 9 version. text

  2. Shockwave Flash 9.0 r16
