Got the message: You cannot use the application "Firefox" with this version of Mac OS X.

I have OS X version 10.4.11, I have used Firefox since I started using Mac, and I can't find an earlier version of Firefox on the Mozzilla site.

I'm not sure which version I was using before the download, but I would really like to get that one back.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. 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

Thanks Tony, I found the link right after I posted today. It will be helpful if I didn't get anymore prompts to download FF4. Thanks.
