My version of Firefox is 6.0.2, I downloaded it to my mac - now it prompts for updates and simply gets stuck on the 'contacting update server' window and doesn't download any update as far as I can see. Where might the glitch be?

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

  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded
