in trying to update, i get a message that says i don't have system permissions required & to contact system administrator. this is my computer & i am the only person who uses it. please help. i am using mac osx 10.4.11 thanks for responding, michael
hi, i have installed all of the software on this computer & have even updated firefox before. now, clicking the "check for updates" tab i get the message posted above. since this is my computer i am assuming that i am the administrator & i haven't encountered any problems installing software before. what could be going on? appreciate any help on this. thanks, michael

If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
- Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
- Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
