you do nor have sufficient privledges error message when upgrading to Firefox 5 but am an administrator
Using older Intel iMac 24": Tried to update 3.6 to 5.0 but after dragged Firefox into Applications image and clicking that I wanted to replace older version- following error message "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privledges for some of the items." However I am the administrator and was using the adminustrator's account. I then closed all other accounts, restarted and tried again with same result.

In such a situation, the best thing to do is to perform a clean install:
- Download a new copy of Firefox 5.0 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Move the current Firefox from Applications folder to the Trash.
- Install Firefox 5.0 that you have just downloaded. For instructions, see How to download and install Firefox on Mac.
