I have installed it on both a USB flash drive and a USB hard drive that were attached to a G4 running OS 10.5.3. when I go to launch it I see a while circle/slash and by clicking on it I get a message to the effect that the architecture is not supported, even though th information on the download said that it was a Universal Binary.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Where does it say that it’s a universal binary? I don’t see anything on the page that says that.

What would be cool, however, is if the two different developers teamed up to offer an all-in-one package that shares the profile between the two installations. Sure it might be twice as large in size as it needs to be, but the convenience would be well worth it.

But, if you copy your profile from your computer to a thumb drive and install portable Firefox for Mac and Windows onto the thumb drive you will be able to bring your profile with you wherever you go.
