Mac G4 w/OS 10.5.8, New download won't open-not supported on this architecture, worked perfectly w/3.6 & down load said it will support Mac OS 10.5, what do I do to not lose all my bookmarks, etc?
I had 3.6 & the website said new Firefox, need OSX 10.5 or above. Now the icon in the dock has a white circle w/slash like do not enter & when I click on it, a box opens that says,"You cannot open the app Firefox because it is not supported on this architecture."
How can I get my Firefox back without losing all my info on my previous version?
The latest version for PPC users is 3.6.25 available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

I just upgraded to the newest version of Firefox. In this new version it sometimes won't open a link even in a search engine such ask Yahoo. It also won't ever go to an address I type into the web address bar. I have never ever had this problem with a web browser so I know it's not me. I've never had this problem with Firefox before either. Please fix this bug.
Thanks.'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. -
I've had a lot of crashes, some just firefox, some the whole computer. In process of migrating to new machine so wasn't overly concerned. But after a restart today, I found I could not get firefox to open at all. After finding the system searching for firefox.com, I checked program files\mozilla firefox and firefox.exe is not there. A search showed it not to be anywhere. Not ready to stop using this machine just yet. Any way to get firefox.exe reloaded without losing all my related stuff??
As long as you do not delete your Firefox personal settings or application data, they should remain after a reinstall.
Don't run the Firefox uninstaller, simply run the installer that you download. This will just install over your previous installation.
<b>Note:</b> To be 100% safe, I would recommend backing up your Firefox application data folder. -
ERROR:MapLib:973 - Tri-state buffers are not supported in this architecture.
Hi,
I face a ERROR:MapLib:973 problem with inout port in a pcore component.
I need ton instantiate an inout port at the top level to communicate wih my peripherical.
This inout port is driven by an XPS IP core (pcore).
The .mpd is :
PORT fdata = "", DIR = INOUT , VEC = [31:0], ENABLE=SINGLE, THREE_STATE = TRUE,TRI_I = fdata_I, TRI_O = fdata_O, TRI_T = fdata_T
PORT fdata_I = "", DIR = I , VEC = [31:0]
PORT fdata_O = "", DIR = O , VEC = [31:0]
PORT fdata_T = "", DIR = O
The .vhd is :
fdata_o : out std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
fdata_i : in std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
fdata_t : out std_logic ;
I got ERROR:MapLib:973 - Tri-state buffers are not supported in this architecture messages for each
signals of my fdata PORT, while mapping !
Thanks for you help.What device are you targeting, and what version of the software are you using?
I target a xc7k325t-fbg676-2.
I use ISE 14.3 form platgen to xst and 14.7 from map to bitgen.
What does your top level HDL (verilog or VHDL) file look like (where the IO must be instantiated)?
It is a .vhd in whitch i wrapp my top XPS core, described by .mhs
The problematic IO port is instantiated into the mb_core.vhd (generated by XPS).
If i open it, i could see that the tool correctly infer the corresponding IOBUF's :
component mapping :
fdata_I => FX3_DQ_I,
fdata_O => FX3_DQ_O,
fdata_T => FX3_DQ_T,
One IOBUF infered:
iobuf_1 : IOBUF
port map (
I => FX3_DQ_O(31),
IO => FX3_DQ(31),
O => FX3_DQ_I(31),
T => FX3_DQ_T
Top level port :
FX3_DQ : inout std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
THEN FX3_DQ signal is dirrectly branched in my upper level (top level) vhd file, with the same name.
What do your constraints file look like (where the pin number and names get declared)?
The port is only constrained in .ucf, like that:
NET FX3_DQ[0] LOC = "B24"| IOSTANDARD = LVCMOS33 ;
NET FX3_DQ[31] LOC = "G26"| IOSTANDARD = LVCMOS33 ;#Bank 14

've just upgraded to latest version of Firefox 4 and my Mac is only OSX.10.4.11 and now it won't open. How do I downgrade and get old Firefox back. Don't want to lose all my bookmarks. Why was I able to install in the first place. Very frustrated!!
You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc

I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?
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

My computer is not allowing me to utilize any version of Firefox, after multiple downloading attempts. I simply get a message that Firefox is not supported on this architecture, and the Firefox icon in my toolbar now has a circle on it with a line through it (Canceled). I hope that someone can explain what I need to do to be able to use Firefox once again. Thank you, TC
As you have a PPC or Power Mac the last release form Mozilla to work on PPC is Firefox 3.6.*
Firefox 3.6.23 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 at

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/ -

I just want to download Firefox 3.6 again
I downloaded Firefox 4 onto my PowerPC G4, 1.67GHz running Mac OSX 10.5.6. When I try to open it I get error message You cannot open the application “Firefox” because it is not supported on this architecture.Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

Upgraded old Mac mini (from 10.4 to 10.6) PowerPC G4 Processor, downloaded latest version of Firefox and ran installer, got a dialogue box that said 'not compatible with this architecture', now I don't have Firefox at all, and it is my preferred browser.
Firefox '''4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and an '''Intel Mac'''.
The''' latest supported version for your os is 3.6.26''' , you can download it from:

Been using Firefox (many years) version 3.16.. Received invitation to download Firefox version 4 for Mac this morning and did so (regretably losing 3.16 version) because now the new version 4 won't open. I just keep getting the error message "You can't open the application "Firefox.app" because it is not supported by this architecture." I'm using the latest Mac OS 10.5.8. The processor is 1.8 GHz Power PC G5.
