After downloading the new Firefox app. it will not complete update as it says that I do not have sufficient privileges for "some items". I changed "privileges" on the existing app. but it is still not updating

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest 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 program and save the DMG file to the desktop

  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded
