AFter installing Firefox yesterday to a Mac Airbook, I cannot get rid of the install icon that is on the desktop - Ejecting doesn't work as it reappears the next time I open Firefox.

Usually the install icon is ejected and the application lives in the applications folder. Not this time. When I eject the icon from the desktop, the next time I open FF, the install package reappears in a window. ??

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

One reason why this would happen: the Firefox icon that you see on your Dock actually opens Firefox from the disk image and not from the "Applications" folder.

To verify this, control-click on the Firefox icon in the Dock and then select "Show in Finder". In the Finder window that opens, check the path. Is it your "Applications" folder or is it the path to the install disk image? If it is path to disk image, remove the icon from Dock and then drag the icon from "Applications" folder to the Dock.

Edit: Note to myself - submit answer immediately after typing it :)
