I have Firefox 3.6.13 and I know that it needs updating but whenver I try it seems to go nowhere. Just keeps trying to update but never does. I have an iMac G5 with OS X 10.4.11. Can you help?
What more can I say? I am told that I need to update and when I try nothing happens. It keeps trying and trying. This has happened many times and I just give up on trying to update like it says I need.

Hy Maryann,
Are you trying to use the built in update feature?
If that isn't working, you could also try going to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
- Download the full installer for 8.0.1 to your desktop.
- Close Firefox. Be sure that it isn't still running in the background.
- Run the installer and re-open Firefox.
Hopefully this helps!
Do not download and try to install the newest 8.0.x
see Firefox 8 System Requirements
Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac(that you have) and require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
latest supported version for your os is 3.6.24 you can download from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
see Firefox 3.6 System Requirements
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions if you like try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8
