I just downloaded Firefox on my maxpro and now I have 3 (three) icons on my desktop. if I only need one icon, how do I get rid of the other 2? Thank you.
When I was trying to download, I wasn't certain whether I was being "prompted" to attach the firefox icon to my application folder. When I didn't see the icon in the folder, I tried again - probably a total of 3 times. I searched my application folder and finally found firefox - it was in the form of a piece of paper - when I clicked on the paper the 3 icons appeared on my desktop. I surmised that I had successfully downloaded firefox 3 times...but I really don't trust myself in deleting 2...lest I thereby delete all of the download completely. Further, if it is safe to delete 2, is it enough to simply press the delete button over the icons to be removed or do I have todo something else?

You only need a Firefox icon, which you drag to the Applications folder alias after downloading the Firefox .dmg file.
Once the "Firefox" icon is inside the actual Applications folder, all other icons can be moved to the trash, including the Firefox .dmg installer, which looks like a piece of paper. The Firefox disk image, which looks like an external hard drive or Flash drive icon, should be ejected.
See How to download and install Firefox on Mac for details.
