Comment(by erinn):

 A) No. Firefox dropped support for 10.4.

 B) I agree with this, although I wouldn't expect TBB/Vidalia to even
 launch on 10.4, much less give that specific error message, so I'd like to
 get more information from the user. In the past we got weird bus errors
 when things weren't built with sufficient backwards compatibility (but
 maybe this was only for PPC?)

 In any case, detecting the version in the launch script should be
 possible. I'm not sure offhand how to send the incompatibility information
 to users, but that seems like something that has been done before.
