I was wondering, since I use Mac version 10.9.4, if it was possible to have FF update automatically? I ALWAYS get the "Connecting to update server" window
I really like FF but every time I need to update I end up having to do it manually with a reinstall. Every time I try to update I get the "Connecting to update server" window for hours until I give up. Please help

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
- Firefox 31.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
