I updated Firefox and got message that it wasn't compatible with Skype, is this correct?

Please see message above. I hope to continue using Skype & want to know why I got the message when updating Mozilla Firefox that it was not compatible.
Thanks

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 the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Just updated Firefox and got message to update Flash, too; Flash refused to install; please see further details below.

Just updated Firefox and got message from Firefox to update Flash, too. I downloaded flash, but it repeatedly failed to install, even after I followed recommendations on Adobe's troubleshooting page. Adobe's support person said he'd gotten lots of calls from Firefox users with the same problem in recent days. He said Firefox was unresponsive. He recommended Google Chrome browser instead. I don't want to switch. Please Advise.

I recently rented a movie from itunes (John Carter) and tried to move it to ipod but got message that it is not compatible. Why did this happen as I haven't had problem before and can I get money back?

I recently rented a movie in itunes (John Carter) and tried to move it to ipod but got message that it's not compatible. Why did this happen as I haven't had problem before and can I get my money back?

Are you sure you don't have a 5G iPod video? If so, rented movies are not compatible with that particular generation/model of iPod.
Otherwise, it sounds like the rental is in HD. It should have came with a Standard Definition version instead.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
Thanks for your help.

I download Firefox 4.o and drag to app folder then to dock. When I double click on the dock icon I get a message the forefox is not compatible with this version of OSX (which is OSX10.4.11). What gives?

I updated my old mac Mini to OSX10.5 (Leopard) and installed the latest version of Firefox, only to get a message that it 'is not compatible with this architecture'. Any suggestions on how to get a superior web browser back?

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:

I am running mac osx 10.5.8, but FireFox is giving me a message that it is not compatible with my version of osx and will not let me install. The web site says it is compatible with osx 10.5. Am I missing something?

I was able to download the current version of FireFox but when I tried to install, I got a message that FireFox is not compatible with my current os. What else should I consider or try doing to get FireFox to work?

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

'''''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.

"Lightning could not be installed because it is not compatible with firefox 26.0" is the message I get when I try to install the latest 2.6.4 version of lightning. I also tried the later beta test version with the same results. I am running Windows XP 32 bit with all the latest updates.

Hi mjjaggers,
Please share the version you are trying to download and the platform you are working on.
In the meantime, try to troubleshoot your downloading assistant by following the steps mentioned in the article Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
If this doesn't work, do let me know.

Using mac os 10.4, downloaded latest version of firefox only to find that it isn't compatible with this system. how do i get the previous version back?

Notification for an update appeared, I proceeded with the update, attempted to start up the new version and was told it is not compatible with mac os 10.4, the version I am currently using. How can I get the former version of firefox back so that I can continue using this application?

I use MacIntosh, system 10.5.8. But I keep getting pop-ups . I have tried to install Firefox and it responds saying it is not compatible with my systems architecture. What should I do to stop the pop-up?

I use G4 MacIntosh, System 10.5.8. I keep getting pop-ups asking me to upgrade my version of Firefox. But when I try to install I get the message that Firefox cannot operate with my computers architecture. How can I stop the pop-ups?

I believe Firefox 4 is Intel only. That means it will not install on a PPC Mac. You can get TenFourFox, which is made for PPCs.

When I try to sign in to my Yahoo email using Firefox on my Mac 10.0, I receive an "Invalid ID and Password" message that makes me sign in with a new password, and then I have to go through this again next time. Help

I have already cleared the cookies and the cache. The problem does not seem to be with Yahoo, but with Firefox. No other browser causes me this problem.

Am getting message that scanner is not compatible with my macbook and to use twain software. Any suggestions?

Need help with downloading driver for scanner . Have HP M1005 MFP. Am getting message to use twain software. Any suggestions?

Your HP M1005 MFP all in one is too old and unsupported for 10.8.5
HP's site says that OS X 10.3 and 10.4 are supported. It does not, repeat, does NOT mention 10.5 much less newer.
Also there is no patch support for same on the last resort:

Nothing on earth is as aggravating as twain drivers for scanners. Ive installed every make and model on PC and Mac, and theyre all hair-pulling-worthy.
