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

Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

    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!

  • After updating to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4 there is no longer an "Bookmarks Organize Bookmarks" option. Did it move?

    I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4. When I go to the "Bookmarks" drop down menu, there is no "Organize Bookmarks" command. How do I do the operations that were under that command such as add new folders, move bookmarks, export bookmarks, etc.?

    "Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

  • I cannot update Safari.  I am running Lion and am stuck on Safari 4.0.4  Running Update Software is useless as it ignores my old Safari software.  How do I update Safari manually?

    I cannot update Safari!  My iMac is running Lion.  I try using Software Update but it tells me everything is okay.  My current version of Safari is 4.0.4  Very out of date.  My problem seems to be only with Safari.  Can anyone tell me how to manually update Safari?

    Is your Safari app located (free-standing) in your Applications folder?

  • 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<br />
    Firefox 4 won't work on your computer.

  • 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.

  • When I try to update to Firefox 3.6.12 for Mac I get the message "You don't have the authority for some objects". I am the administrator.

    I cannot install the Firefox 3.6.12 update because lack of authority. There are three user accounts in the computer. What object(s) can it be that interfere with the update?

    If you have 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.

  • The latest Firefox won't run with Mac OS 10.4.11. How can I get the previous version of Firefox?

    I have Firefox 12.0. It won't run with Mac OS 10.4.11. I do not want to have to buy a new computer right now. I would like to go back to a previous version of Firefox that will run with my operating system. How can I download an older version of Firefox?

  • Is latest Firefox able to run on Mac OS X v10.4.11?

    When I installed latest Firefox version on Mac OS x v10.4.11 it crashed and rported that there was an error which I should report. I did, but no answer nor help has come forth since.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • I cannot update beyond Firefox 8.0. I am running Win 7 and keep getting a message that I need to restart so a previous update can complete. I also get the message that I am not running the newest version of Firefox.

    I can download FF 9.0 but not install it. The same thing happened with FF 8.0.1

    Same problem here. I installed version 4.0, then removed it and tried to install 3.6. Now no version Firefox will not install. I keep getting a message that I have to restart my computer in order for updates to a previous version can be installed.
    Every time I restart the computer and try to install firefox the same message keeps appearing. I attempted to uninstall the earlier version of firefox using "programs and features" in windows but the same message came up and thus I was unable to uninstall using that method.
