I have a Macbook, and when the 'Firefox update available' window pops up it never...EVER...connects to the server to get these updates. How can I get around this?? I don't even bother trying anymore. Before when I clicked Update Firefox I have forgotten about it, and even 2 full hours later it still was trying to connect to the server...!!

If you have problem to update firefox, the best you can do is to download and install the new version:

1. Download the latest version from : 

  http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean install.

3. Install the version that you have downloaded (13.0.1).

Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
