Firefox asks to update on iMac OS Snow Leopard. If I click on the link it doesn't complete download. If I download 13.0.1 separately, it doesn't install.

Try this:

1. Download a copy of the latest 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.
