What are the specs on your Mac? Does your OS X version meet the system requirements for Firefox 3?

We need some more specifics. Which version of OS X (10.3.x, 10.4.x, etc.)? What is the speed of your iBook?

There have been many revisions of Mac OS X and many iBook revisions. If you go to the Apple menu at the top left and select "About This Mac", you'll see information on which version of OS X specifically, what speed your iBook's processor is, and how much RAM you have installed.

Be aware that according to Firefox's system requirements, you need the following in order to run it:
  • At least Mac OS X 10.4
  • At least a Mac with a G3, G4, G5, or Intel processor.
  • At least 128 MB RAM
  • At least 200 MB hard drive space free.
