I tried to download Firefox 4 on my computer (Mac os X 10.4.11) and now Firefox won't work at all. Help!

I have a Mac that's about 5 or 6 years old. (Mac os X 10.4.11) I have used Firefox for a several years now. I received a message telling me that I should update to the newest version (4). I tried to follow the directions, but somehow I ended up replacing my functional version of Firefox with a new one that has a white slash through it (like a no smoking sign.) This new slashed out Firefox won't open, and I can't get the old version back, so now I have no Firefox at all.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

That did the trick. Thanks! I appreciate the help!
