This article explains how to download and install Firefox on a Mac.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11 'Intel,' TenFourFox doesn't help with that. Whenever I load Firefox it tells me to upgrade to 12.0 for security reasons. 12.0 is most definitely not compatible with the version of OS X on my MacBook Pro. Mac users interested in Firefox 48.0 for mac os x 10.6.8 generally download: Firefox 4 46.0 Free Firefox 4 is the latest version of one of the most popular web browsers.
 If you are updating from a previous version of Firefox, see Update Firefox to the latest release.

Firefox initially popped open a window stating that I already had another copy open and so wouldn't open. After some investigating, I found a fix and followed the steps to delete profiles - possibly the cause of the errors. (I had applied this solution once months ago and it had worked then.) Subsequent to this attempt, I was unable to open Firefox - even with the creation of new profile(s). Given the situation, I deleted Firefox entirely by dragging into Trash and emptying the trash and re-logging in. Downloaded a clean new install from the Mozilla website. Although the DMG file downloaded fine, when I attempt to copy app to Applications folder, the system hangs. So now there is no way to re-install Firefox?!
This link /post seems to reflect my condition: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1240427However at the given location on my computer, I only had a FB video plugin - even after i deleted that, there is no change, i.e. remain unable to implement a fresh new install of Firefox.
Suggestions?Thanks!RT12
