Well, I'll ask the obvious question: &nbsp;Are you an admin on the Mac?<br />
<br />
Assuming you are, I would:<br />
- &nbsp;Download a fresh copy of Firefox<br />
- &nbsp;Trash the old one<br />
- &nbsp;Install the new one
</div>


<div>
yes I am the only user and admin. &nbsp;How do I trash the old one and will I lose anything?
</div>


<div>
Odd, do you have problems updating other applications as well or just this one?
</div>


<div>
You both were very helpful.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
