I tried to upgrade to Firefox 4. I have lost my Firefox 3.6. Firefox 4 will not open on my computer. The message say that it is not supported on thie architecture. I have OS 10.4.11 on an eMac? What do I do?

I down loaded 4 and installed it to replace 3.6. I then tried to launch it and got the message that it is not supported on this architecture.

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

It worked! I even got my Bookmarks restored. Thank you very much!

Thanks very much, I installed 3.6.16 and everything worked properly as should be. But I do not understand why Firefox 4 still is adviced for everybody!

As I mentioned in my first reply, Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with incompatible systems from being notified of the update.
