If you have 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 DMG file to the desktop

  • 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.

I went mozzilla website and downloaded from there. It took maybe two minutes. There might be a problem with potential hacking because the mozilla site did not say uploading to server. The upgrade was like past ones. And I found porn related downloads. I know people hack in order to use someone computer as a middle source. The message about the new mozzilla pops up in a large box and "urges" you to accept. If you want the new version go to the website.
