I can't update, error message says I don't have system permission. There is no admin account on this computer. It only has one user.

This is a one-user Mac running snow leopard. I don't think I ever set up an admin account since I am the only user. Why can't I update Firefox?

  • Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded.
