Help!! My old Firefox disappeared after I tried to install an upgrade.

more options

On Sunday, I received a notice to update Firefox. I had received many of these notices before and just assumed this was an ordinary upgrade.

I have a non-intel Mac using OS 10.5.8. I am unable to find a previous version of Firefox on my computer and was unable to find one on the website. How can I access a previous version of Firefox so that I can continue accessing the internet? If not, is there a way to access my many bookmarks, and other information that was on my Firefox?

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) and OSX 10.5 or higher

The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

You can try the third-party product TenFourFox that supports PPC Macs. Firefox 8 version of TenFourFox is available. The product is based on Firefox released versions. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:
