I have a Mac OS X. I am trying to download the new version of Firefox. When I try to move the icon into my applications, I am asked if I want to replace the existing version, I click yes. Then I get the following message: The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient priviledges for some of the items.

I had the same problem on my work computer, although not on my home computer. I had to trash the old Firefox application, then drag the new one into the application folder.

If you have Mac OS X 10.4 or newer then do this:

  • Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/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.
