Issues Updating Firefox
I keep getting constant update reminders at the top right of my screen. I have a Mac Book Pro 2010 series. Please advise because this is very frustrating. I have continued to click on the update link and it goes through the process of updating but it never finishes and always says for me to reboot my computer/Firefox which i do every time hoping that it works. It has not worked yet and need 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
- Firefox 39.0.3: 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.
