Firefox 34.0.5 keeps asking to update to 35.0
Hey- my Firefox 34.0.5 keeps asking to update to 35.0 but every time I click it to update it will say it is installing and then the installation will be complete the next time Firefox is restarted, so I click the 'restart now' button but it never updates to the 35.0 version. I have a 2014 macbook pro if that helps at all. Thanks for your help!!

I would uninstall firefox then re-install it. That should be an easy fix. If you are happy with 34, you can turn off its auto update, but I would just take the time to re-install it since 35 is safer. Turn off auto update FF 34: Go on settings>preferences>advanced clear button that says install updates automatically or check never check for updates. However, I would strongly reccomend NOT doing this, because of security issues.
Have a great day!

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
- Firefox 35.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
- Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.
