I try to download firefox. After completion, the firefox icon is crossed out and when I double click, I get a message saying the architecture does not support this application. I have a g4 mac laptop with 10.5.8. Any suggestions?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

The latest 9.0.1 version is not compatible with your ppc mac os.

Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac and require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

see : Firefox 9 System Requirements

The latest supported version for your os is 3.6.25 , you can download it from:

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

see : Firefox 3.6 System Requirements


[For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, if you like, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8]
