Hi. I'm running Mac Tiger 10.4.11 so can't upgrade Firefox.
How long will I be able to use the old version? Is security still OK?

Support for Firefox 3.6.x is expected to end in the first quarter of 2012.
Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) and OSX 10.5 or higher (yours is OSX 10.4).
The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
