Unable to install 3.6 0n mac 10.4.11 - sites: "insufficient priveleges for some of the items"

It's my friend's computer. He is currently running Firefox 3.0.5, and his Verizon email won't download.

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 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install

Can't install Firefox 4 on my Intel Mac laptops because message says I lack permissions for some of the items.

I installed Ff4 on my iMac soon after it came out. Then after serious problems developed with using Ff3.5.2 on my two Mac laptops (after Apple software upgrades Ff started kicking me off many sites whenever I tried to open something within a site, as I need to do for my work), I wanted to upgrade them to Ff4. I have downloaded it repeated times. The download is OK, but when I try to drag the icon into the apps folder it asks if I want to replace the older version. When I say yes, I get a message that say the operation cannot be completed because I don't have permissions for some of the items. That's where I am.

You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.
You can also do this:
* 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.

Dialog box says "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privliges for some of the items." How can I install it in my Aplications folder?

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.

I am trying to update to Firefox 3.6.8. I currently have 2.0.0.14 on my Mac wit OS 10.5.8. It keeps giving me the error "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient priviliges for some of the items". What do i need to do?

I am able to open and use 3.6.8 but it wont over write the 2.0.0.14 version.

1. Download a new copy of the Firefox program
2. Firefox 3.6.27: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
3. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
4. Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Tried to replace my firefox with 4.0, but unable to do so.

If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient 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 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/

For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working. Can anyone help me get it working?

For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working. Can anyone help me get it working?

It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here. Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it. Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model it was reading).
Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run.
Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
Good luck on working this one out.

Uploaded Firefox 4 for Mac (10.6.7). It won't install continually saying I lack "permission to access some of the items". What now ?

Firefox 4 simply won't install on my Mac saying I don't have permission to use some of the items. Have been using Firefox for more than 5 years.

I removed all firefox apps and started over with 4.0. Now it's working.

Not really, but you did need that when you got your Apple ID.

Hello there, if i had installed a windows on bootcamp and for some reasons the windows had infected, does the mac gets infected or harmed? sorry im transforming from pc to mac and i just want to know .. thank you

if i had installed a windows on bootcamp and for some reasons the windows had infected, does the mac gets infected or harmed?

Yes, when you run Win via BootCamp, the computer is a "real" Windows computer and just as vulnerable as any other Windows machine. It its the operating system, not the hardware, that creates vulnerability.
However, it also means you basicaly have two independent computers that happen to share the same physical space. The Mac side, as others have said, is not vulnerable to assaults that are made on the Windows side, so do not go installing a pile of anti-virus garage on the Mac side. It is unneeded at this time and will basically ruin your Mac's performance. The Windows side WILL need some form of protection.

Hello Curly59,
''"do you want to replace the newer version that is already installed with this older one?" ''
it is correct
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
