I have been a happy Firefox user for years and have regularly installed the recommended upgrades on all 3 computers I use daily. My home desktop is a Power Mac G5, model 11,2, with a PowerPC G5 (1.1) processor with 2.3GHz speed. While this computer is old, gosh the screen is beautiful and there are no issues with the tasks I use it for. I'd like to continue using Firefox as my default browser. Is there an updated version I can use?

You are fully updated.

Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac. Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

Firefox 3.6.24 (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

(you all ready have it)


A group of Mac users have created their own community build from the "Firefox 4+" versions.

TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .
