firefox upgrade downloaded..unable to drag into application folder.. it says unable because one is in use....also says...1 of 2 selected zero kb avail

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

  • Newly downloaded version icon won't drag into Applications folder because I "don't have sufficient privileges" - what does that mean & how do I fix it?!

    I opened a new window in Firefox, which was still open from last night. I saw the notice:
    URGENT!
    Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks.
    Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free!
    So, I clicked on the download which ran fine. At step 3, drag the Firefox icon to the Applications icon, a pop up said I didn't have sufficient privileges to do that.
    What does this mean and how do I fix it?! Thank you,
    Allison

    You're welcome

  • Firefox icon won't drag into applications folder

    After I drag the icon, "something" seems to be happening, then it bounces back to the left and says 0 MB available.
    I've updated Firefox many times, and this is the first time I've even gotten the prompt to drag the icon! I'm still using an old version.

    Which version of Mac OS X do you have?<br />
    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there

    I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.

    Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it.   Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer.   Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

    Finally figured it out. Podcasts in your Podcast folder aren't actually there (they're just "available") until you download them by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the name. Once you click on the down arrow the podcast will download to your computer and a blue dot will appear to the left of the name. You should now be able to move the podcast to your other i-devices.

  • Wheb U first downloaded Firefox there was a toolbar at top of screen. Now it is gone. How do I retrueve it?

    When I first downloaded Firefox there was a tool bar at top of screen with print, yahoo and other items. Now it is gone. My question is this--how can I get it back?

    Hit the '''Alt''' key and release to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

  • Software downloads mount drive but do not show icons to drag into applications folder

    I downloaded Flash this weekend and Logos 5 today. Both downloaded and the drives mounted, but the drives did not show the software package to be dragged into my application folder. In the case of Flash, the folder header was there, but the space below, where the Flash app was supposed to be was blank. In the case of Logos, when I opened the drive, the only thing visible was the arrow between the app and the shortcut to the applications folder. There was nothing to grab and drag either. Any ideas for me?

    3rd party software uses all kinds of different ways to get installed.
    Some provide installers you double click on inside the mounted .dmg.  And to keep things interesting, different vendors use different installer utilities
    Some include an Alias pointing at the Applications folder.
    Some just give you the App and you figure out what to do with it (if you are lucky, these sometimes include a README file that tells you want you should do).
    This is life outside the Mac App Store.

  • I cannot load Firefox 7.0.1 into my application folder on my iMac using OS 10.7.7.

    When I try to move the Firefox icon to the Application Folder, it creates an untitled folder within my Application folder. This folder has Firefox version 6.0.2 and a complete copy of my existing Application Folder. This happens when I try the Update download or a complete download. The normal download and update worked fine on my Macbook Pro. I notice that there is a small arrow at the lower left hand corner of the Firefox icon after I try to move it to the Applications folder.

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Downloaded trial app does not appear in Applications folder

    I downloaded the Photoshop CC trial, and my Creative Cloud app manager tells me it's updated. But, I can't find the app anywhere on my Mac OSX 10.8.5 computer - it's not in the Applications folder, which I know how to access from the Finder window. I did a search of my entire computer and there is no sign that this app exists. What am I missing?

    Run the Cleaner tool and install again.
