I can´t update firefox in my MacBook

I have been having many problems trying to update Firefox in my MacBook. Finally I tried to re-load it, but when I drag the icon into the apps folder it keeps telling me: No se puede completar la operación porque no dispone de permiso para acceder a algunos ítems., which means "operation can´t be completed because you don´t have permission to access some items". What can I do? Thank you very much.

* 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.

    To which version do you want to update?
    To the latest Firefox 3.6.11 version?
    Did you try via Help > Check for Updates?

  • Can't update Firefox. I'm using OS10.2.8. ,Firefox 2.0.0.12 .

    When I tried to update to Firefox4 it told me 4 wont work with OS10.2.8. Can I update Firefox 2.0.0.12 to an earlier version of Firefox than4? How?
    Thanks

    I think the lastest version you can run is Firefox 2.0.0.20:
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
    That is not a secure version, so you might need to switch to a browser that still is getting regular security updates.

    Are there other accounts? Is it possible Firefox was installed on one of them?

    Hi jrtartaglia,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Updating Firefox]]. There is a lot of good information in there and some troubleshooting steps as well.
    If that doesn't work, you might want to try installing a fresh copy of Firefox:
    http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/
    I would suggest that you first back up your personal information and bookmarks, just in case. You can find details in the article [[Backing up your information]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • After updating Firefox on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.6.8), it has ceased to work. I open it, but it never gets beyond the Connecting... message.

    I have always used Firefox on my MacBook Air. But since updating to the latest version of Firefox (7.0.1), it freezes as soon as I open it - there is a constantly running "Connecting..." message, and the little circle turns continuously, and there is a blank page. Eventually, I get an error message saying "Connection Timed Out" - and it does not matter which website I try to contact. All my other browsers (Safari, Chrome" work fine

    Hi franverdi-
    It sounds like you've run into issues from the upgrade. I've found a Support article that helps with issues of not being able to connect after an upgrade:
    [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]
    I hope that helps!

  • Can't update Firefox from version3.0.10. Firefox option is NA under automatic update. Check for updates is NA under Help menu. How can I update?

    On my Windows Vista 64 bit laptop, I have Firefox version 3.0.10.
    I want to update to the most current version but all update options are grayed out.
    On the automatic update screen under Advanced Options tab, the word FIREFOX is grayed out, so I can't select it.
    Under the HELP Menu, the CHECK FOR UPDATES is also grayed out.
    Somehow, something has happened along the way & now my Firefox can not/will not update itself.
    I do NOT share this computer with anyone & I am the Administrator.
    How can I get it fixed so it will automatically update Firefox again?
    And how do I find out what the latest version # of Firefox is?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • How can I Updating firefox for linux in package manager ?

    Thank for reading my question.
    I am a beginner off Linux. The computer sends almost all the time messages you have to update, it's to old. I have Linux from a package manager, but it is looks like everything is updated, must I change it? Firefox is sloooooow.
    And gmail ask me to update. Updated manually Firefox have I done but never starts.
    Is it a computer virus or something else?
    What should I do?

    It is possible that your Linux distribution is no longer updating Firefox.
    In that case you can consider the download and install the full version of the current Firefox release.
    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 33.0.1 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    Make sure that you meet the System Requirements (GTK+ and GLib) for the current Firefox version.

  • How can I update Firefox without having the Web Crawler too.

    I used the update to the latest Firefox offered when I opened my current version of Firefox. The download was uneventful.
    Then I tried to use the "new improved version of Firefox".
    When I tried to search for something my Google was overridden and Web Crawler took over. I could not remove any
    reference to Web Crawler and have the new version work.
    I finally ended up deleting Firefox completely and reloading from a thumb drive.
    Everything is good again, but I would like to upgrade if there is a way to avoid Web Crawler.
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

    Watch out for unofficial upgrades, which sometimes are advertised in popups generated by web pages using official-looking text and images. If you get a prompt and you're not sure it's trustworthy, you can always get Firefox from here:

  • Can't update superdrive firmware on macbook

    system is macbook aluminum 13" (before it was renamed to Pro).
    my superdrive makes that annoying sound every time the mac starts, and I can't update the firmware.
    the update is on the updates list, but when I try to preform the update it says "your computer's Superdrive is up to date" without actually updating. and still, the update is there on the available updates list.
    same thing happned when I manually downloaded the 3.0 firmware from the apple website.

    You can try to bypass the hardware check.

  • I can't update firefox. When I click on the upate link it says to click on the fire fox at the top of the page. There is no firefox at the top of the page.

    Firefox button that says to click on to upgrade isn't there.

    Does reading this article help you
    *[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
    ** specific document version https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#firefox:win7:fx25
    Are you posting from the device you have a problem on ?
    * Windows 7 computer using Firefox 25
    The firefox button was the icon top left on your Firefox window. If you have a newer version of Firefox the button to use is the new {three bar icon) menu button -> Help {(?) icon) -> About Firfefox.
    If you are unable to use that method then download a fresh copy of Firefox, from getfirefox.com save it on your machine, and then run the installer. Do NOT use any option to remove information, any offer to reset or refresh, and do not use any third party uninstaller.

  • Can't update firefox

    check for update tab is not appearing on the help tab. instead an "apply downloaded update" is there. when i click it, mozilla restarts but the same problem retains. the problem started when i updated firefox from the standard user account rather than administor.

    FF is not an Apple program.  Therefore, will not appear in Software Update which is only for Apple software.
    You need to post on FF forums and/or contact their customer support since FF is a 3rd party browser. 
    The only Apple browser is Safari.

  • I can't update firefox and it tells me that the softeware update failed.

    I want to install the newest version of firefox but it wont let me. The message it keeps giving me is that:
    Software Update Failed:
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of firefox running on your computer, and then restart firefox to try again.
    And I'm sure that there is no other copies running on my computer. I've try restarting it a lot of times before but the same message keeps appearing. When I try to uninstall it, it tells me to reboot the computer and then try to update it after the reboot is done. I tried to update after the reboot but the same message appeared again. And the cycle continues.

    She was as frustrated as I and was going to kick the problem "upstairs."  She felt that by now iCloud had been out long enough for them to have resolved the issues without having to resort to fixes from the outside (so in essence, I would have to say that she agrees with you that they should be able to provide a resolution for their own software).
    I have more than just that issue on my MBP (iPhoto keeps asking me to "upgrade" everytime I open it, old Safari windows open when I restart or turn the machine on from a shutdown....I think it's possessed.  I'm able to do everything that I want to do, but it's very annoying....) and so I'll be working with her again when she returns to work on Monday.  I do have to say that she doesn't rush and has spent at a minimum 2 hours each night for the last 2 nights with me over the phone (talk about califlower ear!) 
    She had me do a reinstall of Lion last night and as far as I can tell, it fixed nothing....
