Hi Wabbit, do you want to change permissions because of an error you are getting when running Firefox, or when trying to use a particular function in a website? Please describe the steps needed to re-create the problem.
I click on Firefox Help, select Check of Upgrades. A box opens indicating that there is an upgrade available but I don't have system permissions required to install.:
I'm not familiar with Mac permissions. I wonder whether this is due to a change in a more recent version of Firefox? Do either of these articles help:
If there are problems with updating or with the permanently then best 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
- Firefox 20.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
Thank you. I will try that. Sounds like it should work.
Trashing the old version and installing the new version worked like a charm. Thanks.
