I have a mac g5 tower running OS 5.8. but cannot download the latest firefox. What do I need? thanks

If i need to install other items does anyone know what they are? It would be so helpful if firefox would list items that need to be installed to enable use of newer format.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher
*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.

    Hi, sad isn't it!
    Is this a PPC iMac, or an Inel iMac?
    If PPC...
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

    In fact, it will run on Imtel Macs upto 10.6.8 also.

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

  • I cannot download the latest version of itunes to my Mac OS X 10.5.8 to sync with my new ipod nano.  Any suggestions???

    I cannot download the latest version of itunes to my Mac OS X 10.5.8 to sync with my new ipod...any suggestions?

    You need to upgrade the computer's OS. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, it can't sync that device.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.
    Some device models require Mac OS X 10.7.5 to sync.

    You can download and install on your system from Adobe's website.  Have you already opened the box you have received?  If not, you can return it for an exchange.  In the meantime you can download the trial version from this link:
    <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=en_gb>
    I am not sure if the Windows Serial number will work on your Mac system.
    Good luck.

    Hi Deb,
    Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience so far.
    I am not sure if you already tried this, but in case not, try to update Muse via Creative cloud directly.
    Start creative cloud application manager, if you dont have it, you can download it from here,
    Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager
    Login using your adobe id, once you are in, switch to Apps, and you should see the Update for Muse, click Update.
    Let me know if you get any error or warning.
    Thanks.

  • I have downloaded the latest firefox but when I download addons it says the browser is still old.

    I have downloaded the latest firefox (3.6). But when I tried to download certain add ons and even when I go to Youtube it tells me that my browser is out of date. When I click 'About', my version of Firefox is 3.6.6 but it also says 'Firefox/2.0.0.9;MEGAUPLOAD 1.0'. Why is that?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I installed new firefox.

    Your user-agent indicates that you have/had the MegaUpload Toolbar installed and that can interfere with your system recording the correct version of Firefox.

    You will also need to reset a preference.
    <u>'''Reset general user-agent'''</u>

  • I downloaded firefox 6, and restarted computer, but the message under the search window says I don't have the latest firefox. I tried twice. thank you

    I downloaded Firefox 6 and restarted computer, but the message under the search window says I don't have the latest Firefox. I tried twice. Thank you.

    I have a similar problem; but I think the cause of the "already running" message is that my computer crashed.
    I rebooted before I learned to look for the parent lock file, but even when I knew to look for it, I found my original profile folder to be empty.
    So I created another profile folder, and FF works, but I cannot access my old profile folder. When I open the location where it should be, nothing's there. But if I go to profile manager, I see my original profile is still there (and it has a location, it's where it should be - and where it's invisible, but even if I type in this location, nothing comes up).
    I tried making all folders visible (I run Windows 7), but this did not make my old profile visible.
    I want to find it because of the bookmarks I bookmarked recently.
