Setting up Firefox on my Mac

I believe I have downloaded Firefox, but I need to set up the icon on the dock so I can select it for a web-search. How do I set up the icon on my Mac?

I don't know, for sure, how to complete the download. I received the download, clicked it and then lost track of whether or not it completed the download. Please help.

Hi angus1mor,

This article How to download and install Firefox on Mac hopefully might help, and there are also screenshots included to illustrate steps more clearly.

Make sure you physically drag the Firefox icon into your applications folder (see the screenshot), and you can also physically drag it to appear in your dock, with the rest of your app icons.

Good Luck TIM
