I am presently running : Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092414 Firefox/3.0.3

I downloaded Firefox 3.6.13. When I went to move it to my applications I received the above messages. Why? What do I need to do so that I can use Firefox 3.6.13?

Thank You,

Hank

  • 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.
