My iBook is running OS 10.4.11; after installing the beta about December 11 2010, neither version of Firefox is usable. I don't want to uninstall as my bookmarks will be lost. How can I correct this and still preserve the bookmarks I have?

Chosen solution

Firefox 4 will no work on OS X 10.4, it requires at least OS X 10.5

You can trash the application and this will not remove the bookmarks. User data such as bookmarks and passwords are stored elsewhere in the profile folder, and trashing the application will not remove the profile folder. For more details see Uninstall Firefox from your computer.
