This is what firefox thinks: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100824 Firefox/3.6.9

This is what the Mac thinks Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Also note the PPC references in the Build Tools pasted below

Are you running Firefox in PPC compatibility mode via Rosetta?

Thanks. I thought I had unchecked that box when this first came up... It was still checked. Problem solved.
