so here is the problem.
when i searched firefox through the finder, (i set the finder to list it by the 'kind'), as it reaches the applications kind, the finder just freezes and the cursor changes to the rainbow-circling mode, and it's not doing anything at all.
even if i wanted to uninstall it, i cant. i cant even click it in the finder -- my mac would just freezes and i have to relaunch the finder over and over again.
and, if i search firefox through the spotlight, it was there, and i can actually click it. BUT, after i click it, the cursor goes into the rainbow-circling mode again, mac is lagging again and the dock is somehow missing.
then, i restarted my mac. the dock was there. i was then downloading firefox through safari. the download was done, then when i was going to replace the old firefox with the new one, it says 'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.' it is odd, because i was using the one and only account, an admin account.
please, help! how can i get rid of the old firefox?
