Why doesn't FF make the latest Update compatible with a Power PC G4?
I've got a Power PC G4 Mac, which apparently doesn't meet the System Requirements for the latest Update of Firefox: why not? In this Economy, I'm sure there are a lot of people like me still running Power PC's, yet now I can't even "suggest" to FF that they include us in the Update, because I "don't have the latest version"! I run my whole Office from my Mac, so it's still pretty darn good. What's with the disrespect?

Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
For an unofficial Firefox 10 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.26 has been released, so you can update to that version.
Latest Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:
No disrespect was intended. When Firefox 3.6.x goes End of Life this spring, it will be that Mozilla continued support for PPC Macs for almost 2 1/2 years after Apple stopped supporting the PPC architecture.
Firefox for Mac has been dual-package application since Apple started using Intel processors in 2005. For a number of years it was a PPC & Intel package, now it is an Intel 32-bit & 64-bit versions package.
Be aware that one of the best things about Mozilla's mission is that they encourage others to build their own programs using software code that Mozilla created, making projects like TenFourFox and Camino possible.
