"The operation (update to FF5.0) cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." ???
Currently using FF 4.0.1. Have tried several times to update to 5.0. After downloading, when attempting to copy to Applications folder, I get message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." What does that mean and what do I do about it?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest 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 program and save the DMG file to the desktop
- Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded
