I down loaded the newest version of firefox. After dragging the firefox icon into the 'A' folder icon a tab pops up asks if I want to replace an older version w/the newer one. when I click on replace following statement appears: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items." when I click on the OK the firefox screen pops up again putting me into a "loop" thus keep repeating the process over and over again.....What do I need to do to get beyond this?

  • Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
  • Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
  • Install the new version that you have downloaded.
