What items prompt "the operation can't be completed because some items had to be skipped" message?
The message goes on to say, "For each item choose File>Get Info, make sure "Locked" is deselected, then check the Sharing and Permissions section." I have no idea which items are of interest.

Stay with the latest version of Any Program.
When and how does the message come up?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best 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 application and save the disk image file to the desktop
- Firefox 35.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
- Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.
I followed your directions, but the newly downloaded version repeated the message of "…some items had to be skipped…"
I reinstalled the old version.
