When i try to open Firefox (which has a big circle with cross line through it, I get the message "Cannot open Firefox; not supported on this architecture. How can I download the OLDER version (3.16)?

Chosen solution

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 Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Thank you very much for the information. I went back to v. 3.6 and my problem was solved. I wonder why Mozilla did this?

4.0 is not compatible with my machine-- how may I block the Firefox urgent start page reminders that I upgrade? Perhaps a Persona? Perhaps a new Home Page?

Thanks.
