All I tried to do was upgrade my system and now I'm discovering I may need a new computer to use Firefox. Im on a Mac G4 osx 10.5.8 Firefox 3.6.10. I tried to update the FF, but now it's telling me I'm running FF 1.6 and my system isn't supported. What's up?

As you have a PPC or Power Mac the last release to work on PPC is Firefox 3.6.*

Firefox 3.6.22 can be found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Since you have a PPC Mac there is this third-party option for Firefox 7.0.1 http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

As of Firefox 4.0, a Intel Mac with OSX 10.5+ is required for Firefox builds from Mozilla. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0.1/system-requirements/

Yes James, thanks, but that's what I downloaded, but it gives me a box with a circle and a line thru it over the FF orange ball and then says my system needs to be upgraded, but it is at 10.5.8 which is what I believe it should be.
