I'm trying to apply for student financial aid. The www.fafsa.ed.gov site keeps blocking my attempts to see the form. It states an incompatible browser is detected. I was using safari & updated with the link from this page. It still wouldn't work. So I downloaded Firefox from a link on this page, and I still can't get the FAFSA form. Can you please tell me what to do next?

The newest version of Firefox that seems to work on the FAFSA website is Firefox 3.6.20.

Try using the Firefox Portable 3.6.x version for Mac OSX.
Under "old releases" on this page.

Don't copy your existing Profile it that is offered, just let portable create its' own Profile. It won't affect your current Firefox installation.
