Over the past month, when Firefox indicates it has an update for me, and to download it, all I get is "connecting" and nothing happens. We live in 96822. This is for a Mac.

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
