He's running a PowerPC (PPC) Mac. Later Macs, from 2006, have Intel processors. MacOS 10.4 is the latest version that will run on PPC.

The last version of Firefox to run on MacOS 10.4 is 3.6.28, released in 2012. TenFourFox is an unofficial (non-Mozilla) version of Firefox which is kept more-or-less up to date with essential changes and fixes. It's almost certainly the only up-to-date browser that runs on a PPC Mac. But, as JC observed, it's slow - especially, I expect, on Javascript-heavy sites.

Javascript has been updated quite a bit since MacOS 10.4 and whatever version of its native browser, Safari, works on it - particularly with the standardization of EcmaScript 6 (ES6) in 2015. FaceBook is entirely built with Javascript. Which is why it - and an increasing number of sites - won't work with old browsers.
