An automatic update arrived and installed itself but then told me it was incompatible with my version of Mac: 10.5.8. Firefox version 3.6.26 is on it now. It seems to work the same. Is there going to be a problem or should I ignore that message?

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

The latest supported version for your os is 3.6.26 , your are fully updated.

see for more info:

Firefox 3.6 System Requirements

Firefox 10 System Requirements


[For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, if you like, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8]
