I dl'd it. But There is an icon that looks like the idisk on my desktop (but with FF logo) and I can't get it off. If I eject it, it comes back when I launch FF....wth?!
firefox on my macbook is crap. cause half the time if im saving an image like on google images it opens the downloads window and doesnt save it as a jpeg most of the time. so i cant open it in imovie or iphoto
It sounds like you are having exactly the problem detailed in the video, you have not copied the Firefox program to the Application folder on the hard disk, but are instead, running it from inside the Disk Image. Drag the Firefox icon from inside the disk image to your local Applications folder and all should well.
Hey i gotta question, i just bought a new macbook pro and downloading firefox for it. When my mac is on, the firefox icon is there at the bottom along with the other apps but when i restart my mac, They firefox app goes away and i have to put i there agian, how do i make the firefox icon permanent?
That hasn't been my experience with Firefox 3 on Mac. When it came out, I switched from Safari to see how stable it was and have been using since then.
That's odd. I've never had freezing issues with mine. In fact I was having problems with Safari and that's why I switched to FF. The Safari issues were not major, but they were annoying:
(1) Back button wouldn't work within the Gmail inbox.
(2) When holding and dragging the scroll bar of a page for a few seconds, the multimedia within that page would stop playing. It would resume once I stopped scrolling. This was about a year ago though, so maybe they fixed it.
You may be trying to install too new of a version on your Mac. The latest version of Firefox only works on 10.5.x. You might be able to download an older version from the Firefox web site.
@1.40 Would it fucking kill a kitten to simply write underneath "To install firefox, drag this icon over to the applications icon above"
I actually feel sorry for anyone who has bought a Mac under the false impression that htey are somehow easier to use than Windows machines...

@DVD2409 It might be because you're changing the name of the file and not keeping the .jpg at the end..
Seriously. Macs are not in the least bit any more user friendly than Windows machines, as this video shows...

For a Windows Machine, I would say Firefox. In fact, I use FF as my default browser on my Mac these days.

Thanks for this. I just got a MacBook & I want to install firefox because I like it for using flickr.
As a brand new Mac user I was not sure what to once the file had appeared on the desktop.
Now I know.
