My gmail unexpextedly reverted to basic and a message came up to say that I needed to upgrade firefox. Tried to do this (several times) but when I drag the firefox icon to the applications folder the message "The operation etc" keeps coming up and won't complete the upgrade.

  • Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded.
