I have a mac. It takes about 3 minutes to download the new Firefox and that goes fine, but when I slide the Firefox icon into the applications folder, I get a message that says it cannot be downloaded due to insufficient privileges.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded
