This article explains how to download and install Firefox on a Mac.
- If you are updating from a previous version of Firefox, see Update Firefox to the latest release.
- First, you are NOT limited to the browser that ships with Mac OS X 10.4.11. Just download a newer browser. I’d recommend TenFourFox, which has the updates and the core of modern Firefox but is compiled by an independent person to still run on OS X.
- Download Mozilla Firefox, a free Web browser. Firefox is created by a global non-profit dedicated to putting individuals in control online. Get Firefox for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS today! Firefox is fast on Mac because we don’t track your moves. Be the master of your domain with strict content blocking.
- Mac OS X 10.1 (Firefox 1.0.8), OS X 10.2 and OS X 10.3 (Firefox 2.0.0.20), Mac OS X 10.4 (Firefox 3.X), Mac OS X 10.5 or above (Current Version).
Download Osx 10.5.8 Firefox - real advice. Firefox 4 and 4 more programs.
- Visit the Firefox download page in any browser (for example, Safari). It will automatically detect the platform and language on your computer and recommend the best version of Firefox for you.
- Click .
- Note: If you want to have a choice of the language for your Firefox installation, click the Download options and other languages link instead.
- Once the download has completed, the file (Firefox.dmg) may open by itself and pop open a Finder window containing the Firefox application. Drag the Firefox icon on top of the Applications folder in order to copy it there.
- Note: If you do not see this window, open the Firefox.dmg file that you downloaded.
- After dragging Firefox to the Applications folder, hold down the control key while clicking in the window and select Eject 'Firefox' from the menu.
Tip: You can add Firefox to your dock for easy access. Just open your Applications folder and drag Firefox to the dock.
Firefox is now ready for use. Just click on its icon in the dock or Applications folder to start it.
When you first start up Firefox, you will be warned that you downloaded Firefox from the Internet. Because you download Firefox from the official site, click .
Upon installation, Firefox will not be your default browser, which you'll be notified about. That means that when you open a link in your mail application, an Internet shortcut, or HTML document, it will not open in Firefox. If you want Firefox to do those things, click . If you're just trying out Firefox or simply do not wish to set Firefox as your default browser, click .
You need some more RAM, but:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Mozilla Firefox For Mac Os X 10.4 11 Download
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'

To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
