I have downloaded Firefox 4.0.1 onto my power PC G4 mini using mac OSX version 10.5.8. When I try to open this new version I am told “You cannot open the application Firefox because it is not supported on this architecture. What can I do? Do I have to go back to the old version? Thank you for your help.
