You can not use version 8.0.x on your 10.4.11 mac with ppc

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/

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

latest supported version for your os is 3.6.24 you can download from here:

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

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