When I click on Update, the "Connecting to Server" runs and does not stop or seem to connect. What to do?
Recently I upgraded to Firefox 4. Since then, at least once a week, I get a message to update, but when I click on "update" a message "connecting to server" appears that runs and runs and nothing else happens. No update! I don't know what to do.

If you have problems with updating 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 program and save the DMG file to the desktop
- Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.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.
I downloaded Firefox 4.0, then trashed the current Firefox application, but find no way to install the new version. Previously there was an "install" box to click on, but not now. What must I do to install the new download?
