I'm trying to install 6.0, but I keep getting this error message when I go to install it: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." I'm the administrator for this computer.

If there are 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
