Why can't I update to Firefox 4 even though I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8?

The site lists on its system requirements that I have either Mac OS 10.5.x or 10.6.x. I have 10.5.8 but the site says my operating system isn't compatible with Firefox 4. Am I overlooking something obvious here? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Firefox 4+ versions aren't compatible with Power PC Mac's.

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

Firefox 3.6.* and earlier used to come with Intel and PPC versions in download, but now as of Firefox 4.0 and newer (including 8.0) the PPC version was replaced with 64-bit version.
