There is only one version of Firefox 3.6.25. Any updates would have a different version number. You currently have Firefox 3.6.25 installed according to the information automatically submitted with your question.

To turn off updates, see --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel (Update tab)

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (you have a PPC Mac) and OSX 10.5 or higher.

The good news is that Firefox 3.6.x 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 with OSX 10.4.11 and OSX 10.5.8. Firefox 9 version of TenFourFox is available. The product is based on Firefox released versions. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:
