For the time being, Firefox 3.6 is being currently updated and maintained. The decision concerning continuing support for Firefox 3.6 is made by Mozilla. Read all of the following. Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (your version is OSX 10.4). *System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8] The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012. *System requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 3.6.x] *Download Firefox 3.6.24: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html *Also see --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac You can try the third-party product '''''TenFourFox''''' that supports PPC Macs.

OK, so I'm trying to digest all of this information. Thank you for trying to help me. Question, though, if "the decision concerning continuing support for Firefox 3.6 is made by Mozilla," how do I contact them to plead my case for continued support? I've tried their "leave feedback" page, but it won't let me because I am not using the latest Firefox. It's just so frustrating. I'm not in the market to change my Mac. I like it just the way it is!

Sorry, I doubt if Mozilla is going to reconsider the decision to discontinue support for PPC architecture. '''TenFourFox''' is a suitable Mozilla-based browser for PPC Macs. It is built from the same code that Firefox uses.
