When I try to upgrade Thunderbird 52.3.0 on my Mac to 52.4.0 I receive a message that can't upgrade "You don’t have the permissions necessary to install this update. Please contact your system administrator." I am using OSX 10.9.5 on my desktop Mac

Thanks. I tried this yesterday but it didn't work. After reading your post I tried it again and after removing the old version from my dock and replacing it with the new it worked.
