I have been asked repeatedl to update my Firefox but when I select the download option it simply continues to "search" for the download server. What's going on?
As stated, I select the download option when a pop-up tells me that I need to update my Firefox; however, nothing happens. It continuously "searches" for the download server. I eventually have to close it just to get it off the screen. I have a MacBook Pro.

Hello doha, if you have problem with update firefox the better way is to download and install the new version.
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
