Can't download latest version of Firefox, "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items", yet I am the administrator of the computer.

I have tried several times to download the latest version of Firefox on my MAC. Whenever I drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder I get the message, "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." What does not make sense is the fact that I am the Administrator of the computer. I've never had this problem before.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.

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.
