On MAC OS 10.6.4, with FF 3.0.19 installed, an update installation gave me the above error when copying the firefox.app into the applications folder. I restarted the MAC, I ran the disk utility to repair permissions but this didn't help.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.

Install the new version that you have downloaded.
