I am running 10.9.5 on my Mid 2011 Mac desktop. It is successfully running Firefox version 58.0.2 but keeps telling me there is a critical update needed. I have downloaded Firefox 60.0.2 MANY times and "'installed" it, but after the "update" it says it's still running 58.0.2. Is version 60 not compatible with 10.9.5? Suggestions on how to fix appreciated.

If there is a problem with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.

Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the Disk Image file to the desktop Firefox 60.0.2:

Your personal data like bookmarks is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose personal data when you reinstall or update Firefox, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

Hi, try using a installer from here : https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

What happens when you go to Help --> About  ?

MacOS X 10.9 is definitely supposed to be able to run Firefox 60 according to the system requirements page: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/60.0/system-requirements/

Maybe it would help to "trash" Firefox 58 first before reinstalling? Please consider making a backup of your settings (profile folder) first "just in case": Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

Clean install fixed the problem.

Also updated Flash per PKShadow which might have helped with the fix.

Thanks to all.
