You are unfortunately out of luck with an Intel Mac and OS X 10.4.11 and best would be to update to OS X 10.5 or later if you want to use current Firefox 5 and later versions.
There is a Firefox 4 compatible third-party version TenFourFox from www.floodgap.com for a PowerPC Mac, but no alternative for an Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

I have a Mac OS X, version 10.4.11

A few months ago, I tried to upload a newer version. Luckily I saved the older version, just in case. turned out my version did not support the newer update... dah! The tiny letters finally found on the page stated: version is not compatible...

END OF STORY. REALLY!

Can try to find older version in your search file, or put word out there you need somebody 'knowledgeable enough (I'm not, sorry) that can send you their info if you will, or just try going to mozilla (or Firefox) and "download firefox version [to your computer's version]... hopes this helps.
