In a meeting today I found out that we will also not support PPC Mac for Firefox 4, so that will also need to be added to the system requirements.

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

For the record, PPC Mac support has not officially been decided yet, per http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/893c508db3ee31a0/d64d187d1f4cc42e?show_docid=d64d187d1f4cc42e

When we ship 4.0b7 tomorrow we drop support for PPC macs, and haven't run on 10.4 for some time, yet 
 http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html
says otherwise (same on http://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com). We link there from the release notes.

The 'Known Issue' on the release notes of 'This version of the beta will not work on Macintosh hardware with Power PC CPUs (see bug 587799)' is also out of date. No longer shipping that architecture.

Highly unlikely given that I just found out about it tonight and we have a bunch of other release-related site bugs ahead of it.

I'm duping this forward to bug 586314 as it is a FF4 hardblocker and that seems to be where the discussion is taking place.
