Does anyone have the installer for 3.6.28 version of Mac Firefox

The ftp:// protocol on Mozilla servers was discontinued back on Aug 5th, 2015. Mozilla prefers everybody use http://archive.mozilla.org anyways.

Is this really the ancient macOS 10.4.11 as in ten.four.eleven ?

If so then Firefox 4.0 required macOS 10.5 at minimum back then so yes the Firefox 3.6.28 released way back on March 13th, 2012 is the most current you can run.

The .dmg of course as ignore the asc for any version.

The macOS versions used to be universal binary till 32-bit was dropped.

Installed it and I am getting ssl no cypher overlap.

So, found out that I can upgrade the machine to 10.11.6 El Capitan. Will do this because I don't think that the security for this version can be fixed.

When I get that done, what version of firefox should I download for El Capitan? II would like to use the site which has the dmg that was so kindly given to me. I search for hours and all I could find was the fox site.

The sadist thing about all of this was that everything worked and then I put a version of Mac Office for 10.4 and it kept tying to update and couldn't get to the site and would crash the machine.

You guys are really FANTASTIC!!! Thanks for helping damsel in distress.
