The version you are currently using, Firefox 3.6.13, is the latest version of Firefox for OS X 10.4
If you are trying to use the Firefox 4 betas, they require at least OS X 10.5. There is a third-party version of Firefox 4 beta that works on OS X 10.4, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

I have recently dropped Earthink as me dial-up provider. I now am using Virgin Mobile Broadband2GO. I was using Safari. I am now using Yahoo! Mail Plus. It suggested I switch to Firefox. I had an older version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and started using it. It suggested I needed to upgrade because many of the newer web sites wouldn't work well on this older version. I downloaded the newer version and proceeded with the installation and it would tell me this: '''The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.''' I have re-downloaded and tried it again two more times. I haven't a clue what that means or what to do about it.

"do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
My computer at work is on a network with pcs and one other mac. Recently I had issues with illustrator crashing when I tried to open a file, Apple and Adobe were unable to solve the problem after working on it for 3 days with them on the phone. I decided to try Archive and reinstall. That fixed the Illustrator problem, but now I have a new problem. I can no longer move files from my computer onto the network. I CAN move files FROM the network onto my computer, OPEN the files on the network and edit them and save them under the same name. But if I try to save a new file to the network it tells me:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
I used to be able to move everything I wanted into any folder I wanted, but now I'm limited. I can move files to the other iMac's desktop no problem, but moving files to the network isn't working.
I asked the network tech and he said that everyone should have full privileges because there aren't privileges to be set. I've asked him to reset my account on the network but he said that wouldn't make a difference.
No the files aren't locked, no the network folders are not locked/restricted or anything. I'm stumped!
The only other option I can think of is to completely delete and reinstall my OS :IHI,
If you haven't done so, try repairing disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

I have version 6.0. I downloaded the latest version. When I move the icon to the applications folder I get a message asking if I wish to replace the older version. When I say yes, I get a message saying I don't have "sufficient privileges for some of the items."
It is better to download a new copy of the Firefox program from:

I am running 10.5.8 on a quad core 3.0 GHz Mac Pro. Have 2 GB RAM, and 2TB Hard drive with 538 GB space remaining. Have never had this dialog happen before.
I assume you are attempting to install a newer version of Firefox?
It seems the solution is:
# Download a new version of Firefox to your Desktop.
# Delete the current version in your Applications folder.
# Install the newly downloaded version.
Note: Your bookmarks and other data will not be affected.
