I installed FF 4 on my Mac just to discover that I could not run Google Gears on it. So I need to uninstall FF4 and install FF 3.6. I searched for a page and to tell me how to do this an found one at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20Firefox. After doing part of the process and removing FF4 but not the profile I went back to this page in Safari. But not the instructions change and it is telling me how to uninstall on a PC. So how do I find the Mac uninstall page when FF is not installed on my Mac.

It goes by you useragent to tey and serve a page based on it. To get another OS or Firefox version just look at the right of articles where it says Help with: and click on the OS and Firefox to change accordingly.

I use Firefox on Linux so it serves me a page for Linux users yet I may want to sometimes change it for Windows when helping Windows users.

James,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that solves the issue. I searched the page for "Mac" previously but of course you can't find it. You have to know to click on the link.
