The bar says it is downloading firefox by connecting to the update server. Each time I turn on the computer it does the same thing again, and I still have 4.0 on my Mac.

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
