I have downloaded 3.6 and tried to install by dragging icon into applications (in OSX). The action is not allowed due to "insufficient privileges". But this is when logged in as the administrator.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X ..... Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall. 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.
