I downloaded ff4 and uninstalled old 3.whateveritwasupto, then I installed 4 and tried to open it but it wont work, then I reinstalled 3.thingymajig went back to the mozilla ff4 download page and it said my computer wasn't compatible, but I have OS 10.5.8 and the website says 10.5 is compatible. Stuck there.

Chosen solution

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