I have completed the download (3 times!), but nothing happens after that is completed. What's next? I'm not prompted to do anything. I'm on a Macbook Pro, so do I drag the icon into my App Store? I can't find an application folder. HELP!

See:

If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop

  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded
