I clicked where it said to install an updated Firefox, but it is sitting on my Mac's desktop--I don't know how to install it. Also, it said that it was 5.0 (from Yahoo site), not the 3.6 that they talk about here.

[This is the second time I have typed this out. I don't understand where these things disappear to. Anyway . . .] Originally, some months ago, I was at my Yahoo e-mail site, and a notice came up suggesting that I update my Firefox. I clicked for them to go ahead and start the process. It didn't install anything, but this *thing* appeared on my (Mac) desktop that said *yahoo_firefox_3.6.8_setup_is.dmg*. I continued to get noticed to upgrade, and I thought by clicking on that button did that. Tonight, I decided to try again. This time, the same thing happened. It downloaded on my desktop, but didn't install. Now I have two files sitting on my (Mac) desktop. The original that says 3.6.8 and the new one which says the same thing except that it is a 5.0 version. I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 system. My questions: How do I install Firefox from my desktop with the file thingy they sent me? and (2) What version do I use?

Firefox 4+ versions don't support PPC Macs.

Get Firefox 3.6.23 here. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing. When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

I went to my finder, found the 3.6.23 entry and opened it. The window with the two icons you showed me came up. I moved the Firefox icon into the App icon, and a window came up asking if I wanted to replace what was there. I said yes, and it installed it. But then it went back to that original window, showing an open folder this time, with the words above, 1 of 2. Does this mean I have to move the Firefox into the open folder icon again?
