Recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6.10. When I clicked on my Firefox dock icon the Firefox app icon appeared on the dock in another location--and vanished when I quit Firefox. So I deleted the dock icon, and created a new one from the new Firefox app icon in my apps folder. Same thing occurs...click on Firefox dock icon and app icon appears on the dock. The dock icon does NOT show Firefox as active. Quit Firefox and reopen, this time the dock icon is the only Firefox icon showing...and shows as active app.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly. Open the DMG file and drag to 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.

Thank you, cor-el. Be assured that Firefox was installed properly, yet the problem occurred.

Same here. Seems to have been a 'feature' for the last two versions. And I still can't get Copy to work properly.
