After Firefox update on MacBook Pro, every time I open my applications folder the Firefox update pops up and I can't open any other app?
I just upgraded my MacBook software to 10.8.5. As you can see it shows my Firefox as being updated today also. However when I click on applications, the Firefox update appears. I have deleted it numerous times and this keeps happening. Please help. Doris

What Firefox version do you currently have?
The current release is 46.0.1.
If there a problem with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the Disk Image file to the desktop
- Firefox 46.0.1: *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
- Trash the currently installed Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean reinstall
- Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data like bookmarks is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose personal data when you uninstall and reinstall or update Firefox, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
