I loaded firefox on my 13" MacBook Pro. When I try to open Firefox from the dock, I get this large icon with the firefox icon, an arrow, and the applications folder. A small Firefox icon appears on my desktop. When I go to the Firefox folder in applications, there appears a miniature alias of the file folder and the Firefox program. When I try to delete the alias, I get a message that it can't be deleted.

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.
