Hi, I get notice that Firefox security has an update. I select. The update spins and says"connecting to the update server," and never does. It just keeps spinning.

I have tried to up date thru the Firefox website unsuccessfully.

How can I fix this situation?

Thanks

If you have 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
