I was wondering, since I use Mac version 10.9.4, if it was possible to have FF update automatically? I ALWAYS get the "Connecting to update server" window

I really like FF but every time I need to update I end up having to do it manually with a reinstall. Every time I try to update I get the "Connecting to update server" window for hours until I give up. Please help

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
