I use a Mac Mini (OS X Snow Leopard - Version 10.6.8). Was advised by Apple that I should upgrade to Firefox Version 7 to correct a printing problem associated with version 3.6.23

Did you try replacing Firefox 3.6.23 with Firefox 7.0.1 (dump the new version on top of the old one)?

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

  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded
