I keep on getting a warning to update my security and hit the update button but the "connecting to the update server" runs and runs but never connects."
I have repeated been confronted with a warning that my Firefox (vers. 5.0) needs to be updated for security reasons. I hit the button to launch the update and another window pops up with a "connecting the update server" message. I runs but never connects. I have gone through this exercise perhaps some 10 times or so with no update being successfully accomplished.

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.
