Firefox 3 requires at least OS X 10.5, you can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

thanks for help. they should check system before allowing you to replace with something that doesn't work, especially as had taken safari off system, so major pain getting access to net again. but all done now
