Available update will not load. Message says I lack the system permission to install, to use an Administrator Account. I am, however, the Administrator. Help!
I am able to install other software, which I did as a test. Recently migrated from OS 10.4.11 on a Power PC eMac to OS 10.6.6 on an Intel iMac. This is the first Security Update since I migrated. I trashed the cert8.db file as recommended on site and I rebooted too, but still can't install the update. I have not uninstalled Firefox for fear of not being able to re-install. I have not yet messed with the Profile or otherwise worked in Terminal. Is there some handy preference to trash or what?
Chosen solution
- Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/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.

Thanks cor-el. Now that was EASY! I am always enamored of the simple fix!
