How can I restore 3.6?

Firefox 4 cannot run on my system but nothing told me this until I downloaded and replaced 3.6. I got the automatic update of 3.6 then saw the ad for 4 and hastily, I realize now, downloaded 4 and replaced 3.6. But when I launched version 4, I get an error message saying it can't run on my version of Mac OS X (10.4.11).

This is very frustrating because I don't like Safari and I don't want to update to Leopard. I searched the Mozilla website and found nothing about system requirements for the new version. Perhaps I missed them, but if so they should be much easier to find.

Is there a way I can restore version 3.6?

Chosen solution

Unfortunately, Firefox 4 supports only Mac OS X 10.5 and above on Intel hardware. The system that you are currently using is no longer supported by Firefox (details can be found here).

You can revert back to previous version of Firefox by following these steps:

  1. Open the Applications folder.
  2. Drag the Firefox application to the Trash.
  3. Download and install Firefox 3.6 from here.
