Update not authorised
I keep getting a prompt saying there is an update (which I thought was supposed to be automatic)...however I cant update without being the system administrator???? This is my Macbook and I am the System adminsitrator - yet there is nowhere to do anything about it. How do I change / stop this from happening?

What Firefox version do you currently run if you check this on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page?
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 40.0.3: 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 personal data like bookmarks when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.
