Firefox was working fine for ages. Now I double click on the icon ( Imac) and the icon bounces and appears to open but nothing comes up on the screen.

Hello johnrmellowes

After dragging Firefox to the Applications folder, hold down the control key while clicking in the window and select Eject "Firefox" from the menu.

You can add Firefox to your dock for easy access. Just open your Applications folder and drag Firefox to the dock.
