I am trying to upgrade my version of Firefox from 2.0.0.2 (downloaded Nov. 2007) to the new version 3.6.12. on my IMac desktop computer.

When I download the file I receive a white and grey icon that says Firefox 3.6.12.dmg. When I click on this icon I receive the error message: mounting disk failed; image corrupt.

Firefox 3.0 and 3.5/6 versions require at least Mac OS X 10.4

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last release that runs on Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3

See:

Mac: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/


If you have Mac OS X 10.4 or newer then do this:

  • Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
