I have been getting notices about an important security update for a month now and when I click update, I cannot connect to the server.
I am using a mac... Have downloaded new version. Is all I need to do to Drag Firefox from Applications to trash to uninstall? Do I still need to also delete Program Folder? If so, where can I find it?

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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
- Firefox 16.0.2: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. 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 profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
