i'm trying to update from 3.2, but when I try to transfer the download to the application folder I get the message, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X ..... Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall. Install the new version that you have downloaded.
