[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 356484"] Welcome to Mac-Forums, WoodMaven! Do you use an Admin account on your Mac? You are running Panther and Panther did exhibit some permissions problems... If you are using an Admin account, maybe you could click on the [I]Applications[/I] folder once, then do [I]Command[/I] (or [I]Apple[/I] key) + [I]i[/I] to get to the [I]Get Info[/I] window. In that window you will see a section where you can change permissions. Simply change all the permissions to [I]Read and Write[/I] and that ought to allow you to install the new Firefox version. Don't forget to repair disk permissions again after this install. If you are not using an Admin account, you will need to log into an Admin account to perform the above procedure. Let us know if that works. [/QUOTE]
