Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

I used the 3.6 link and was able to successfully install firefox back on my computer. One thing I notice is that firefox works much slower than safari on my computer. Have you heard this before?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY SO???? I SPECIFICALLY looked when I downloaded and it said Intel and PPC OS X 4.x. Now that page is gone, but there is no info. You're so proud of 4,000+ downloads, but most of them aren't installed, I'll bet.
