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:

I had to throw out all of my attempts to download 4.o. Then secure and empty the trash. Someone else included a link for an older version of Firefox. That one worked on my Mac that is running 10.5.8. There was a warning on the download page about it being update soon for security issues. I was strongly advised to download 4.o.

I find this really bad customer service. I feel that Mozilla and Firefox need to let people with older Mac computers know that 4.0 will not work with their systems. Apparently, a Mac with Intel is needed. How upsetting and frustrating.
