I have always enjoyed running Firefox on my pre-intel mac OS 10.4 but the current upgrade I was forced to download did not launch. After trying it several times, I went to you website and manually downloaded the only version (4.0) I saw available which overwrote the one I had. But it won't run on this mac.

Please tell me where I can download a version that will run on my mac.


Thank you

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

If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Great, I downloaded the TenFourFox and it runs like a charm. I would have downloaded the 3.6 but it said that the version would only be supported for a little longer.

Thanks so much for you help !!!
