I see you are using a PPC Mac with OSX 10.5.8.

Either you can use the last release from Mozilla worked on PPC which is 3.6.*.

The current 3.6.22 is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Or use a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html

As of Firefox 4.0 and newer a Intel Mac and OSX 10.5+ is required.
