I have a Mac G4 with 10.5.8 operating system. Have been using Firefox as web browser. Message today I could update to Firefox 7.0. I did and replaced existing version. Message is not supported by system architecture. Have tried to put in earlier versions of Firefox. Get same message. I am afraid I have permanently lost all bookmarks, etc. CAN YOU HELP.

Firefox 7.0 is still in beta, so I'm not sure why you are getting this message. 10.5.8 is still supported. Try completely uninstalling Firefox before you put in the current version.

I tried that. Ended up installing Firefox 3.6. Clicking on upgrades the message is my computer will not support upgrades. WEIRD.

PPC Mac isn't supported in the Firefox 4.0+ versions.

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .
