Hi cheetle46,

If you have problem with update or permissions the better way is to download and install the new version.

1. Download a new copy of Firefox from : http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean install.

3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
