The V21 "offer" pops up, and when I click on it, I get the downloading symbol but it never completes. I have had several tries, and left in on for hours. I know that when I had a Windows PC I sometimes had to switch off the Firewall or even the anti-virus for some downloads, but I don't know whether that would even be possible with an iMac, and if it is, don't know where to start. V20 runs fine, with one exception - the icon for Firefox disappears from my dock every few days, and is replaced by a question mark. Clicking on that brings up the icon, which I can drag back to the dock ; but this is only a minor irritation.

Hello Dorsetman, if you have problem with update firefox the better way is to download and install the new version.

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.
