Intel Processors
If you have an Intel processor and Mac OS X 10.4, your best option (secure and easy) is to upgrade Mac OS X. There is some cost involved with that so we've included some other options:
Option 1: Upgrade Mac OS X
You should upgrade to the latest Mac OS X (10.7). This is the most secure option and will allow you to run the latest and greatest Firefox.
Option 2: Continue using Firefox 3.6
If you can't upgrade Mac OS X, you can continue using Firefox 3.6.PowerPC Processors

Option 1: Switch to a Mac with an Intel processor
