When I drag the Firefox icon to Applications it asks me if I want to replace a more current version of Firefox with this version that I have just downloaded.

I have lost the exact wording of the message but the implication was that there was already a newer version of Firefox in my Applications file and did I want to replace that with the version I had just downloaded. When it keeps bugging me to download a newer version, can it not tell that the newer version already exists on my computer?

That has to do with time stamps of files (Firefox 3.6.18 was released at a later time) and you can ignore that error and install Firefox 5.
