Downloaded upgrade 4.0 into Mac Applications and dragged New Icon into Shortcuts. The a window popped up stating a new security update needs to be installed. Clicked install and it run ... connecting to server for several minutes, but never seemed to connect.

In the mean time I tried to open 4.0 from shortcut and was prompted with will not launch -10661? Why? And the update, is probably still running to connect to server on my other computer for all I know, and not connecting.

I also noticed that in the install window where you drag the product into the application box, right above the Icon to drag there was a confusing statement that said 1 of 2.

So after I dragged Icon once into applications and finished install I dragged the Icon a second time to see if there was a second part. But all that happened was an over write to the initial install. How can I get this new version to run?

Never had any sort of problem downloading and running on my Sony PC, by the way ... there both laptops.

Chosen solution

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
