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
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

I've tried to download the most current Firefox and it downloaded but I can't save it to my apps or use it due to this error message:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." Not sure what to do now?Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

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.

Everything seems to go as planned according to the steps on the screen except for the last one dragging the icon over the file folder.
Download the new version you want with other browsers like IE (Windows), Safari (Mac) and remove the last version. Then install the package you downloaded.
Here you can download version 6.0: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Download]

I want to upgrade firefox, when I download I don't get to the point whre I drag icon into the image of Application folder. I can find it on my desktop and when I drag it over it replies "Do not have sufficient privilages for some of the items" I use a Mac.
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/ -
Hi All,
I am currently trying to backup my iTunes library onto an external hard drive so that I can copy it onto my new Macbook Pro. I have been following the steps posted on the Apple website however each time I get a dialogue box stating:
'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items'.
Is this because I have items that were bought under another persons iTunes account? If so, is there a solution to this problem? Or am I doing something completely wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Can't upgrade Firefox--don't have "sufficient privileges"
Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade Firefox on my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.7 from 1.0.6 to 1.5.4... I download the .dmg, open it up, drag the Firefox icon to my Applications folder.
I get a pop up asking me if I want to replace the existing file. I say yes, replace.
Then I get the following message:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
This is particularly bizarre since I have permission to administer my computer.
I've already tried "Repair Permissions"--no change.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)Did you have Firefox running at the time you tried to replace it? That could easily prevent you from updating, as it may not permit you to overwrite or replace files that are in use. If that was the case, quit Firefox, then try replacing it with the new version.
Or, try renaming Firefox to Firefox 1.5.4 and putting it in your Applications folder. Then on your next reboot, you can move the old one to the Trash, drag it's icon off the Dock, and drag the icon for the new version to the Dock.

You can save a copy of your passwords file, but I don't think you can open it without Firefox.
Your passwords file is in your profile folder. You might want to make a backup copy of the whole folder. Info on locating the folder: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profiles | How to | Firefox Help].
You may want to try reinstalling Firefox 3.6. You can download the installer from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older -
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,
AllisonYou're welcome

After upgrading from Lion to Yosemite my iPhoto wouldn't work because it "needed to be upgraded" so I tried to upgrade by got the message that I couldn't upgrade b/c someone else bought it or it was deleted. I deleted my iPhoto app on my iPad about 1 week ago but my iPhoto and 1000s of pix were fine. What's up? Did I screw up by deleting the app?
No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version. -
I use Norton 360 for security and virus protection. Part of the service is Identity Safe where it stores my logins and once I login into that, it automatically populates logins and passwords. When I upgraded to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, the dialog box for it doesn't pop up for me to log in. How do I go about getting it to do this? I tried that Last Pass and did not like it at all. In fact, I have removed it.
Thank you!I have heard that Norton released an update patch for Firefox 5.0 on Tuesday 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released. ''(versus taking their normal six to eight weeks)'' Some Norton users have reported that the toolbar may not work if the Norton patch was installed before Firefox 5.0, instead if after Firefox 5.0 was already installed.

How can I run both versions of Firefox at the same time?
Alright, so I decided to install the Firefox 4 beta 3 as a test sort of thing. But now it's set as the default browser, and, no matter what I do, I can't switch back to the old one! I can't use any of my old add-ons now!
