At present (8/2015), Firefox is installed by dragging and dropping the Firefox.app bundle from a .dmg to the a directory on the local system (typically /Applications). By doing so, the ownership of the Firefox.app bundle is set to <username>:staff with permissions drwxr-xr-x. In the event that a different admin user attempts to update Firefox, the update will fail to apply because the user does not have the necessary ownership/permissions to write to the Firefox.app bundle. | At present (8/2015), Firefox is installed by dragging and dropping the Firefox.app bundle from a .dmg to the a directory on the local system (typically /Applications).
