WHEN "Update Firefox" button is clicked authorized a bar indicates running however never completes an installation. This routinely occurs with both firefox and thunderbird, on Mac Mini Server, and MacBook Air, each running latest version of Lion. Are you able to assist troubleshoot?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best 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 application and save the disk image file to the desktop

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
