With a compatible operating system, Firefox won't download, Why?

I have a compatible operating system, one that is approved by Firefox, yet I've received information from Firefox that a current download is not compatible with my system. How confusing. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor ('''''you have a PPC Mac''''') '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher.

'''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.x 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 half of 2012.

You can try the third-party product '''''TenFourFox''''' that '''''supports PPC Macs with OSX 10.4.11 and OSX 10.5.8'''''. Firefox 10 version of '''''TenFourFox''''' is available. The product is based on Firefox released versions. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:
