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 (10.6 or 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
If you have a PowerPC processor you won't be able to upgrade MacOS X. For most people the best option will be to switch to a newer computer. There is some cost involved with that so we've included some other options:
Option 1: Switch to a Mac with an Intel processor
Although getting a newer computer can involve significant cost, a newer Mac will provide a much better experience and allow you to keep Firefox and Mac OS X updated and secure.
