[QUOTE="mac57, post: 360994, member: 17052"] I am not sure how the disk image keeps popping up, but do this. On your dock icon for Firefox, drag n drop the icon onto a free space of your desktop. This will drag it out of the Dock and it should disappear in a clever puff of animated smoke. Now, go to your Applications folder and drag the Firefox.app icon onto your Dock. The other icons will obligingly move aside to make room. Now launch Firefox from the Dock. If you still get the download folder popup behavior, it would appear that you dumped the entire download folder into your Applications folder, not the app itself. To fix this, remove the icon you just placed in the Dock per the above "recipe". Go back to your Applications folder and drag the Firefox item back out onto your desktop. Now double click it and when the window opens, drag just the Firefox.app icon to your Applications folder. You can do this right within the window the Firefox's installer opened. Now, closes the intaller window and drag the whole desktop item to the trash. Empty the trash. Go back to your Applications folder and launch Firefox.app. Hopefully all is well now. If it is, drag the Firefox.app icon from the Applications folder onto your Dock. Done!! [/QUOTE]
