I have a Mac G5 system 10.3.9 too old to accept latest Firefox upgrade. Tried it and get 'corrupt file' message. What do I do? My hotmail account will not now work!

My Mac OS X 10.3.9 with Firefox cannot handle Hotmail basic function sending emails. I can't upgrade the browser. I can receive email.

Support said to enable the auto updates for Firefox at Edit/Preference/Advance then the Update tab. I have no update tab showing so guess I am screwed again. Do I need a better version of Linux (have Freespire) or what is going on here?

I just installed Linus Freespire on a PC that Windows XP had crashed on, and happy to have it take on a new life. When I tried to browse myspace.com, I was forced to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 and downloaded it. It said it went to the desktop, but don't see it there. Instead I get a KArchiver window with Firefox-3.6.6.tar-1 in it. I have tried screwing around with it and its "wizard" until I am about ready to trash the whole thing. Can someone tell me what i need to do to upgrade Firefox 2.0.0.6 to Firefox 3.6.6 besides getting another degree? It would be nice if there where some hints.

I installed firefox v3.6, and the add-ons I want to install are coming up saying I need to upgrade. The mozilla website is reading my firefox as still being v2.0.0.12. Any advice/solutions for dealing with this problem?

Not being paranoid, but how do I get google from ceasing to use the Firefox Geolocation Feature?? All it does is add time to loading web sites, not to mention I don't particularly like anybody tracking my visitation. (ironic I use gmail, isn't it?)

== happens all the damn time

when trying to upgrade Firefox the download proceeds but it prints out: Download failed to mount the disk.

== only when trying to upgrade Firefox

For the last few months I have problems with Youtube or installing extensions. In both instances I get a message saying I have an outdated browser (version 2), and need to upgrade. I have installed Firefox 3 (Most recently 3.6.3) multiple times, closing the old version first every time. Firefox/about shows that I have 3.6.3 installed. I even tried deleting the old version entirely and downloading the new version with Safari (I saved my bookmarks, etc. in that case). Something is very wrong, and I'm unable to install several important extensions because of this problem.

I'm using a Mac, OSX 10.5.8.

I'm at my wits end. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi! After seeing repeated nag msgs from youtube etc informing me I was using an out of date browser, I downloaded v 3.6 from mozilla website. I ran the program... it did 'a little housekeeping' and updated my FF, or so I thought... fast forward a couple of months later and I'm still seeing the nag msgs. Turns out my firefox didnt update! So in desperation I uninstalled FF completely, then installed v3.6. What a surprise... I'm still on FF2.02!!! It's getting to the stage now where despite my love for FF I am going to have to stop using it and switch to a browser that actually updates properly so I can protect myself from the current swathe of ridiculous popups etc. Anyone have any ideas on how I can update my FF to something relevant to this decade? :D

What is the newest version of Firefox I can run on my little iMac 600mhz snow with 512mb memory, and where can I download it? Right now I'm running OS X 10.3.9 and Firefox 2.0.0.20 Thank you, sincerely, Virgil Fritz, AllnightVi@aol.com

== I would access certain websites

I constantly get messages that say I am not using the latest version of Firefox & then do not display properly. I am using v3.6.3 & get this message on a lot of sites I visit.

Just noticed that in the guesses shown below -even this thinks I am using v2.0 Firefox version, which is not correct.

I just wanted a possible update of firefox from 2.0.0.20 to higher on my Mac OSX 10.3.9. I can not go further on OSX as my hw is limited to that.

Tried to load 3.6 and get the msg: disk image failed to mount. Reason: corrupt image.

Every time Firefox opened

I keep getting "update" messages from Firefox, but when I try to update I get a "corrupt image" message. I suspect I cannot update because I am using Mac OS X 10.3.9 and the update is for 10.4. (I'm currently using Firefox 2/0/0/20.) Is there an update I could use? Or is it time for a new Mac?

I changed from a View Sonics monitor to a Samsung 20." I've tried changing resolutions to no avail. When I click on Tools>Options>Advanced, I'm supposed to get a full window. The bottom half of mine is cut off and I cannot set FF to be my default browser. Anyone know what to do? Many thanks and may the Fox keep wrapping his tail around the globe.
