My mac machine has firefox installed and updating is not possible as connecting to the server message comes and updates never occur.
I get a message that updates are available. When I click to get updates , i get a window that updating firefox and connecting to the update server. Even after long time, the process goes on . Updates never get installed. My version installed is 4.0.1 on Apple Mac Book Pro.

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
- Install the new version that you have downloaded
