[QUOTE="precisionelite, post: 255361, member: 20226"] I had to install firefox several times for it to work, but this was not the programs fault, just me getting used to the way macs work. When you download firefox it appears as a "disk image" and a downloaded file ".dmg" i believe is the extension. Now after I installed firefox the first time, I erased both of these. I didn't want to clutter my desktop, and low and behold when I clicked on firefox in my dock a big "?" appeared in the center. Now after I installed it the right way (I.E. moving the disk image into my applications folder) I erased both those things a second time. I still got a question mark, but I reopened it from the application folder and dragged it into my dock, and it works great now. [/QUOTE]
