Update never gets past "searching for update server". Despite various internet speeds, I have never been able to update Firefox on my Mac Air (in 6 months).
I have waited for my Mac to "search for the update server" for Firefox for an entire day. It is not happening. Cannot update Firefox on my Mac.

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