Cannot update to firefox 6 without getting startup box on desktop.

My mozilla firefox icon is currently 4.0. I tried to update to 6.0 and went to downloads and dragged the icon, unfortunatly it goes thru the setup everytime I try to use it. I must have got the icon from the wrong place or did something wrong. I would like to have mozilla/firefox 6.0 as my home screen and reflect that with an icon on my desktop, any help would be greatly appreciated. ps already been downloaded for 6.0

I cannot update my firefox. I am running on MAC OS X 10.6.8.

I cannot update my firefox. I am running on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I will begin the update process but it will never complete it - often crashes before it finishes the process. Any recommendations?

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 17.0.1: 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

My Firefox 3.6.23 tells me that there are no updates. I cannot update to Firefox 7!

I tried to update my firefox to latest version. It downloaded 3.6.23 update. I applied it, restarted Firefox, clicked Help -> Check for Updates - and it said there were no updates. I tried restarting Forefox many times, it didn't help. I cannot update to Firefox 7!

Version 7 is not (yet) being offered via the search for updates feature. You can download the installer from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

I am now using 10.6.8. Downloaded Maverick but cannot update OS on HD because get message the disk is not formatted as Mac OS extended(journaled). Tried to use Disk Utility as per instruction but cannot complete operation.

Barney-15E:
The partition method worked after some trepidation. I got the spinning beach ball after partitioning and couldn't go further till I named the second partition. That may have done it. Right now, things seem to be working o.k. I'm updating a current iPhoto and will have to get a MS Word program that will function on the current OS and a current Quicken.
If necessary, can start up from the 10.6.8 system which I downloaded to an external HD before updating. I can always fall back on that. Also, I hope I don't get too many disconnects. Thank you for your help.

After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

This was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox. I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
You should delete the file you downloaded and certainly do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. If you have already given permission, scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc. Best of luck.

I cannot open my firefox broswer. The message box appeared that said a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Under that there are debug and close program buttons.

My desktop files and folders no longer appear on the screen. I think this is a result of an iPhoto updating. It appears (from getting info) that now Desktop is being treated like a normal file for which an application to open it must be supplied. Help?

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

Upon updating to firefox 6, I get the error message "cannot update because 'libsmime3.dylib' is in use" Now firefox cannot start because it is partially updated and non-functional.

Firefox fails to open, now that it has been partially updated. Initially, it asked to replace the old firefox, which then proceeded to the next step when this appears: "cannot update because 'libsmime3.dylib' is in use". I have quit all applications and restarted, trying to run the install again as the first thing when the computer comes up. Mac version is OS X 10.5.8.

Firefox is already running but is not responding

I have Mac OS 10.5.8 but I'm told that I cannot update to Firefox 4 even though I'm told Firefox 3.5.6 is not secure.

I am getting a message that my version of Firefox 3.5.6 is no longer secure against attacks, yet when I try to update to Firefox 4, I'm told that my Mac system isn't compatible even though I have system 10.5.8 and the requirement is supposed to be 10.5.

Firefox 3.6.17 should work on a PowerPC Mac and OS X 10.5 
Firefox 4 won't work on your computer.

For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 (PowerPC) you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

Opening since update to Firefox 6, always get the message that I don't have the most recent version - have removed and reinstalled, but still persists.

I recently updated my Firefox to version 6.0. When it re-opened after installation there was a message that I didn't have the most recent version. I ran the update set-up again but got the same message. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it from a fresh download but it's still happening.
I've restarted the computer several times. It doesn't seem to have helped. Any ideas?

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

I cannot update to firefox 4

Every time I've tried to update to Firefox 4, it crashes before the homepage even begins. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but even that doesn't work. How can I solve this?

Thank you, milance22, your tip worked. However I have to say that whilst FireFox is probably the best browser for the PC, their upgrading process is not so good. Now I am in the process of reinstalling all my add-ons, and I have just had a hard time importing my old bookmars. But thanks to you, I have now upgraded from version 3. Much appreciated. Best regards.

Whenever I close and then reopen firefox all I get is boxes with numbers in them instead of letters or words I have to reboot to get back to regular firefox.

If I leave firefox open and simply minimize everything is fine if I close it and then reopen it even if right away I get the boxes with the numbers instead of letters or numbers.

Try to set the pref gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
