"Download firefox" page broken on osx

Apparently your site can't recognize its own browser -- going to the download page in firefox on mac osx gives me a windows exe (and there's no option to select a download for another platform, which is a huge oversight).
Not a big deal since it works on chrome/safari, but there's a lot of other sites that seem to have similar issues (misidentified browser, js failing to load for some reason or another, etc –– sites break, and I don't know why). I'm a long time firefox user, but I've started seriously considering switching over to chrome (most of my web dev friends have already, and the stupid ui changes haven't helped).
Mozilla, please fix your shit.

hello, could you go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...

  • Issues downloading firefox 4 for mac osx

    I updated my firefox and downloaded your firefox 4. I have a mac osx and the icon has a circle and a strike over it, and firefox no longer opens telling me that I can't open the application "firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. I no longer have firefox, and do not know how to get it back.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    For Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • I downloaded Firefox 6, but I cannot open it up because my computer is OSX, how to I reinstall the previous version of Firfox so I can use the internet? Help, hep?

    I downloaded Firefox 6 to my OSX desktop, but I am not able to use it open up this latest version of Firefox. Is it possible to upload the previous version of Firefox, if so, how do I do that so that I can get onto the internet? I would appreciate the help
    I have been able to update other versions of Firefox, but not Firefox 6

    The current version of Jing requires an Intel processor running OS X 10.5.8 or later. The message you're receiving is because the iBook uses the PowerPC platform and not Intel. The last release of Jing that will run on your system is version 2.3, which they no longer support and it doesn't auto update.

  • AFTER downloading Firefox 4.0 I get a "system does not support" message and nothing happens. My old Firefox has been replaced by this one that dosn't work.

    Asked by Firefox to download Firefox 4.0 for OSX I did so. It replaced my old Firefox that worked fine. When I try to open it I get a Firefox "cannot be launched" window and nothing more happens. I tried to redownload Firefox 3.616 but to open it I get a "choose an application" message and I don't know which application to use.

    What is going on? I can't believe that it's virtually impossible to find a place to download the old version without going through all kinds of hoops and hoping that someone was brave enough to face the confusion of getting to the right place in order to find a replacement version. Why is system compatibility check not available before downloading? 4.0 downloaded and installed without ever stopping to check compatibility, which would have saved several hours of trying to figure out how to get the old version back (and it's no easier when you have a brain injury believe me!)
    And I'll still be forced to use this sucky new version in a "short time?" Have you people totally gone off the rails?

  • Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?

    Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

    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.

  • I've just followed the onscreen prompts to download Firefox 4 & it's not supported by my version of OSX, so now I've lost my old Firefox 3.6 & can't figure out how to get it back! Help!!!!

    I'm using a MacBook, with Mac OS x version 10.4.11
    All I did was open Firefox, & it prompted me to download Firefox 4.
    So I followed the directions & now Firefox won't run with this version of OSX & I have no Firefox! I want to cry! All my Bookmarks.............Help please! Have I lost everything?? Is there a way to get my old Firefox back?

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    When you install Firefox 3.6 it will use your existing bookmarks and other user data.

  • Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox will not open anymore (not even previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message 'You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OSX' (translated from Dutch).

    I have tried creating a new profile, problem remains the same.
    None of the 3 accounts on this desktop can use Firefox anymore. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I updated Firefox to 8, and nothing anymore. Via Safari I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (your version is OSX 10.4).

    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.

  • Firefox 3.5 was downloaded fine, but when I try to open firefox page, "the application failed to initialize properly" error sign comes up.

    I've been using firefox fine until now. But when I launched firefox page today, suddenly "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click on OK to terminate the application." error sign came up. So I downloaded and ran firefox again, and tried lauching, the same error message. Thank you for your help.

    Whenever I've had issues with FF after an update, it is normally an Add-On that is not playing nice.
    My most recent problem was Firefox not responding right at launch.
    I created a new profile and it worked right away.

    And be sure not to delete your old profile! *cough*likeIdid*cough*

  • My wordpress home page will not display any active information in Firefox 15 on Mac OSX Lion.

    Hey All,
    I've tried many things to resolve this issue, but none of them seem to be working. For some time now I have not been able to see the homepage of wordpress.com with full information i.e. stats, notifications, etc. I'm running Firefox 15 on Mac OSX Lion with the following settings and add-ons. I've tried disabling the various privacy add-ons one-by-one to no avail. Please help!

    The only active thing I see on that page is the banner near the top which keeps changing: "For the cat pictures", "For the poet", etc. Do you not see that? I did not see any link for "Home". Try these pages:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_look_wrong

    Incidentally, it seems to me that you are using Mountain LIon, not Lion. Mac OS 10.8 is Mountain Lion.

  • Firefox downloads html page instead of opening it

    I have an Apache web server (2.2.24) on a Red Hat Linux server (RHEL 5.8). On the web site I have a link to an html page that is not in the web directory, but is on the file system. When I click on the link to go to the web page, Firefox will not render the html page within the URL of the web site--it instead wants to download the html page before it displays the html. So, instead of getting http://mywebsite.com/help.html I get file:///C:Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Temp/Help.html. In internet explorer, the web page opens just fine: http://mywebsite.com/help.html--it does not try and download the file

    Our httpd.conf file has DefaultType text/plain
    The web page in question has a header of:
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Mozilla/4.04 [en] (X11; I; HP-UX B.10.20 9000/879) [Netscape]">
    And yet Firefox still wants to download the page instead of render it directly in the browser :-(
