Security up date spins and does not connect with server. Cannot complet update. How do I fix this?
Hi, I get notice that Firefox security has an update. I select. The update spins and says"connecting to the update server," and never does. It just keeps spinning.
I have tried to up date thru the Firefox website unsuccessfully.
How can I fix this situation?
Thanks

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
- Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/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.
