I have downloaded Firefox 3.6.13 on my new MacBook Pro. When I try to move the Firefox icon to the Applications folder as instructed I get a message that says I can't do this because I don't have permissions to access some parts. I am the administrator and the only one who uses the computer. The box in system preferences that allows me to administer the computer is checked.

  • 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.
