After the most recent update, the Firefox browser wouldn't respond so I decided to delete and reinstall. Everything was fine until my mac tried to copy to applications. I waited for three days for it to prepare to copy over with no success. Is there a reason it's taking so long and can I speed it up?

Often this is a permissions issue. Not sure that's the case here, but it's worth checking.

You could also try deleting the app, restarting your hardware, and then downloading and installling again.

You mentioned a recent update. To Firefox, macos, or both?
