Downloaded the update and dragged it into the applications folder. It states that I cannot update because of something labeled libalerts.dylib. Also, when I open the browser it doesn't go to the Firefox home page as usual.

I had another copy of Firefox running in another logged in user account. I killed that and then it worked.
