I have Firefox 4.0 on a Mac OS 10.6 (snow leopard). I am being prompted to upgrade to Firefox 4.0.1 but cannot connect to the "update server"
When you click the "update" button, the moving bar/cursor just stays in perpetual motion. I have tried on several occasions to complete a download, at all times of the day and at night, but the connection never goes through. This is a home based iMac computer.

If you have problems with updating 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 4.0.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
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome
