My Mac operates on OS X and Firefox 19 is not compatible with OS X. Since 19 replaced 16 it has been removed from my applications file

Hi blkjakf8

1. Download your copy from : ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.2/mac/

2. Trash your current Firefox 19 application to do a clean install.

3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

You can also consider to install the last Firefox 10.0.x ESR version as that version is more recent than the Firefox 16.0.2 version.
