I have been unable to update the 2 latest versions of Firefox. I'm using OSX 10.6.8 I get a warning that one of my add-ons (Contribute) is not compatible and will not appear on my menu bar. Then the download scroll just spins and spins.

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

  • 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.
