Even after downloading 47.0 multiple times for my macbook pro it fails to install upon restarting my browser. There is no fail message, simply one telling me I need to upgrade!

Hello to all, please try the next steps:

1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full dmg package)

2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean install.

3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

thank you

This is a Mac OSX user and not on Windows. There is no Firefox installers for Mac OSX and Linux from Mozilla.
