I try to download firefox. After completion, the firefox icon is crossed out and when I double click, I get a message saying the architecture does not support this application. I have a g4 mac laptop with 10.5.8. Any suggestions?
hard drive died two weeks ago and had it replaced by an authorized dealer. Previous to this disaster, I had firefox and had no problems.

The latest 9.0.1 version is not compatible with your ppc mac os.
Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac and require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
see : Firefox 9 System Requirements
The latest supported version for your os is 3.6.25 , you can download it from:

[For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, if you like, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8]
