When I try to open Foxfire 8 on my Mac PowerPC G5 with OS X v. 10.5.8 it says the the architecture does not support Foxfire 8. What should I do?
I had been using Foxfire 3.6.15 with no problem, but Foxfire sent me a message stating that I was using an old version and should update. I downloaded Foxfire 8 but when opened it has a circle lined-out over the Foxfire icon.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) and OSX 10.5 or higher.
The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
- System requirements: Firefox 3.6.x
- Download Firefox 3.6.24: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

You can try the third-party product TenFourFox that supports PPC Macs. Firefox 8 version of TenFourFox is available. The product is based on Firefox released versions. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:
