unable to connect to download FF site to update from message from FF. What do I do? have new IMac.
I have been receiving messages from Firefox to download and important update. When I click on download, I get a new screen that says contacting download server. I wait and wait and nothing happens after many minutes. This has happened 5 times recently. Is there something I must do to allow FF to access my computer? I have a new IMac with new and updated OS x system.

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 25.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
- 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 your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
