What is the most recent version of Firefox which is compatible with a PowerMac G5 (PPC) running OS X 10.5.8?

Running Firefox 3.6.3 on my aging machine, I got a dialog telling me that I should upgrade. I did. When the update was complete, and the application restarted, I was running Firefox 3.6.24, and shown a page saying:
“Thanks for downloading Firefox, but this version is out of date. Unfortunately your computer's operating system isn't compatible with the most current Firefox learn more, but you are encouraged to download the most recent version that is compatible instead.”
Clicking the link to the “most recent version” took me to a page which said:
“Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox.”
There was no other suggested version linked to that page, and the latest version of Firefox is, of course, NOT compatible with my machine.
Mozilla is confusing me here. Why did Firefox drop back within v. 3.6.x from the version I was already running? Why does the site suggest upgrading to an apparently non-existent “latest compatible version” without providing a link to its suggestion?

  • After their recent upgrade Facebook no longer works for Firefox version 2.0.0.20, what is the most recent version of Firefox that will function with a Mac G3 running OS 10.3.9?

    Facebook (FB) recently restructured their website. After logging on to my FB homepage, some of the graphics are garbled and I am no longer able to post status updates, comment on friend's status updates or pictures, or post pictures using Firefox version 2.0.0.20. I would like to know if there is a newer version of Firefox that will function with a Mac G3 Blue and White desktop running OS 10.3.9 which will be compatible with the new FB? I would upgrade my computer, but have 22+ years of business and tax records that will not function with the newer Mac OS.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

  • Where can i get the most recent version of firefox?

    Sorry that this isn't posted in the correct category but i was unable to find a category that suited my question:
    Hi, i was just wondering what the most recent version of firefox is? How can i get it? What are the download and use requirements? And what are the advantages of using the newest version instead of the old ones?
    Again, sorry for putting this in the wrong category, cheers.

    You are on the current version of Firefox which is 6.0.2, you can verify
    * Help ("Alt+H") > About, this is also where you can check for Firefox update
    * Tools ("Alt+T") > Troubleshooting Information... > look for version<br>(or use '''about:support''' from Location Bar)
    Where to get the latest version is at
    * http://www.mozilla.com green button to download if not up to date
    * http://www.mozilla.org green button to download does not check if you are up to date.
    ''Your "More system details..." in the right-hand column tells us you are at Firefox 6.0.2''

    I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

  • I just downloaded to the most recent version of Firefox, and lost my Delicious bookmarks. How can I retrieve them?

    I just downloaded the most recent version of Firefox, and my Delicious bookmarks have disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

  • My "search" bar is not responding. It's a new problem, since I uploaded the most recent version of Firefox.

    Recently downloaded the most recent version of Firefox. I then attempted to use the "search" function. I can type the subject into the search bar space, but when "search" is clicked, there's no response.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, folks! The "reset" fixed the problem.

  • How can I return to the most recent version of Firefox 3 (b/c Firefox 4 is trying so hard to be like Safari which is utter crap like all things Apple)?

    Where is my refresh button on the toolbar?
    Why change the right-click options order?
    Are you trying to be Apple?
    WTF??
    Please help me get back to the latest version of Firefox 3. I would really appreciate that. Sorry to be such a dick, but this new stuff is frustrating because it is not useful.

    I found it - it's on the right of the address bar - like Explorer I guess (been a while since I used that but that's what made me look there). Guess like all things new, it's gonna take a while to get used to it .... another learning curve, yippeee ... sigh

  • I have IE 9 on my desktop. is the most recent version of Firefox compatible with this?

  • I downloaded the most recent version of Firefox and now once I open the internet and bring up my home page....it becomes "not responding".

    I downloaded the newest version last week of Firefox and now I cant use Forefox. When I open the internet it comes up fine to my homepage (MSN.com), but after 5 seconds or so it locks up and I get "Firefox is not responding" and I cant shut it down or anything....... I have had to use Internet Explorer to do my job and I like Firefox (when it worked) SO much better. Anybody suggest anything???

    P. S.  Just got brave and uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it.  Got the same error message:  Entry Point Not Found - The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll
    Now I can't get to iTunes at all.  Help, please!

  • What is the most recent version of the Airp. Expr. base station firmware?

    Hello,
    I just noticed that a 6.3 version is available for the AE base station firmware. I noticed that my current version is 6.2 and my question is "should I upgrade?".
    My concern is "why do I have such a discrepancy between my machine and the official Apple updates since I check automatically every day the availibility of all new Apple software versions (through System preferences)?
    Thanks for your help.

    The 6.3 update did not appear in Software Update, but it is indeed the latest update. If 6.2 is working for you, you don't need to upgrade, although 6.2 has been problematic for many people. If you want to take advantage of the multiple speaker capability in iTunes 6.0.2 and 6.0.3, you must upgrade to 6.3.
