Trying to upgrade to Firefox 4, but I keep getting a message that my "architecture" doesn't support it. I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5. Help page says Intel processor "recommended." Does that actually mean "required"? Or is something else wrong?

Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.

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

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here (current is 3.6.23):
