Have failed four times to successfully download Firefox 6.0.2; what's wrong?
I download Firefox 6.0.2 and the icon comes up to be moved into the application folder. I do and then you say I have an older version of Firefox open and ask if I want to replace it. I click yes, but nothing happens, I guess. I dump the Firefox icon from the dock, but still nothing happens.

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
- Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the current Firefox application 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.
Pardon my ignorance. What is the DMG file?
The .dmg file is the disk image file that has the Firefox installer in it.
On Mac Firefox comes as such a DMG file.
Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.
