I did not get a warning that v4 would not run on Mac X v 10.4.11

As a result when I replaced my v3.6 with v4 it would not boot up and I got an error message that it would not run on my system.

Now I have lost all my book marks and references that were on v3.6

Foxfire should have put a warning that it was not a universal replacement for v4 and would crash most Mac X v10 systems.

Why was there no warning???

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.x can be found here:

Thanks for the help.

I grabbed an older version of Foxfire 3.5.17 off a friends computer and it booted up great. It ever retrieved all my old bookmarks that I thought were lost.

Yes, you are correct. My Motorola Mac X with system 11.4 will not run the new Foxfire 4.0.

I only wish Foxfire would put a warning on the system requirements for 4.0.

They also need to provide a much better library of downloads for older versions of Foxfire, with an easy link on the Foxfire.com opening page.

Thanks again for your assistance.
