My Mac is )S 10.4.11 so I can't use Firefox 4 and want to go back to 3.6 and can't find it on your site -- everything I download is 4.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and wiped out my old 3.6, then found out I couldn't open the new one, so I am left with no firefox. When I push download 3.6 on your site, I keep getting 4.0 that my computer doesn't support. So how can I get my old firefox back... What do you suggest for people with older Mac OS systems?

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

Get Firefox 3.6.16 here:

Thanks for your response. While waiting I stumbled on the URL you provided for non-4 downloads, so I'm back in business. Mozilla certainly did NOT make this easy for people who are not ready for Firefox 4...they seem to be pushing the new one so that you have to really work around the default to get the one that works for older computers.
