Thanks for reply and this has removed the window. It just surprises me that Firefox 4 is not compatible with my G5 Mac maybe it has something to do with the change in processor to Intel and the subsequent updated Op. system.

You're welcome.

Could you please click the "Solved It" button next to the post which solved the problem for you? This will help others searching for a solution to the same question.

As regards support for your G5 Mac, I would imagine that the updated OS is the culprit so to speak, rather than the processor.

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
