Apparently there are other things that will use the same shared library that Firefox uses, and that evidently gets updated when you install a newer version of Firfox. Take a look at this page:


SiliconChaos: Firefox 4: libsmime3.dylib in use error during Mac OS X install


If that sounds daunting, you could try a Safe Boot (hold down the Shift key when you reboot until you see a "progress bar") and see if Firefox willl install that way.
