When I try to download the newest version of Firefox I do not get the window where you are to drag the Firefox icon into the applications folder. When I try to manually open the dmg file I get a dialog box saying the image is corrupted.

What version of OS X are you using?

If you have OS X 10.3.9 or earlier, the last version of Firefox that works is Firefox 2.0.0.20, if you try to install a more recent version you get the message about a corrupt download.
