Thanks

Chosen solution

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:

I downloaded Firefox 3.6.24 for my Mac OS X 10.4.11 a few weeks ago. Today I got a prompt to upgrade, and was redirected to Firefox 3.6 --is that the latest upgrade, or should I stick with Firefox 3.6.24?

Just repeating what it says above: "Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5".

I have OS X 10. 5 but I am sticking with Firefox 3.6.24. The last time I upgraded to Firefox 4, I had to wait 5 minutes for every mouse click to execute.
