I had been using Foxfire 2.0.0.12 with Mac OSX 10.3.9 . I had Mac OSX 1o.5.8 installed a month ago and just now downloaded Firefox 4.0 . Now I can't open either version. I get the message - (You can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture.) So, right now, I can't access any Firefox program. Did I lose both Firefox versions? Someone PLEASE help! Thanks.

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

If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
