Mac OS X Yosemite + Firefox 33.0 update to 34.0.5 hangs on 'connecting to server'. I work a lot with grouped tabs and would be very reluctant to re-install from scratch.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions 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 application and save the disk image file to the desktop

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.
