We have Mac OSX 10.3.9 on a 750MHz iMac, "graphite". Is there any possible way of upgrading FROM Firefox 2.0.0.20 ?

That is, can we download and work successfully with Firefox 3.6 ?

We know that OSX 10.4 is needed for Firefox 3 but given that 10.3.9 was so close in functioing to 10.4, has anyone heard of or seen Firefox 3 working O.K. with 10.3.9 We just don't have the cash yet for upgrading our Mac OS.

You can not upgrade, Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last version that works on OS X 10.3.9, later versions of Firefox require at least OS X 10.4

I have never seen any way around this. Firefox 3 and above use OS features that are not present in OS X 10.3.9

There are other browsers that will work on OS X 10.3.9.
