The recent update fails when I try to install it because of "insufficient privileges." What can I do?

Every time I try to install the latest update, I get an error message saying that some of the items have "insufficient privileges." What can I do?

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
