i tried to install the newest version of firefox but i couldn't. when i drag the firefox item to the application folder it asks me if i want to replace the previous version, and i click on REPLACE. After doing that i says that operation cannot be completed because i do not have some permissions to do that.

  • Trash the current Firefox application 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.
