I usually get an update message every day that pops on my laptop. When I click update now, it tries to connect to the update server and stays there for hours and hours. I usually give up at the fourth hour. I have been trying to update for the past 2 months now.

  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I had the same problem running FF 7.0 on OSX 10.6.8

Find Firefox 4.0 here: http://mac.oldapps.com/firefox.php?old_firefox=100

I couldn't find the 4.0 version at: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

I'm trying to upgrade to v12 and I have the same problem. Also the Hide button doesn't and the Pause button doesn't work.
