I've been asked to update my Firefox two days in a row, and have downloaded the update, but no ICON appears for me to drag into the applications folder. Why is this?

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.
