I have Firefox Aurora sitting on the Dock of my MacBook. Whenever I power on from a complete shutdown, the icon for Aurora is a question mark. How do I fix this?

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

Open the Firefox disk image (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.

With every instance of installing Aurora, that is what I have done.

You can try this:

  • Delete the Firefox icon from the dock.
  • Create a new icon by dragging the Firefox application to the dock.

That seems to have fixed the issue. I will be sure to repost if it returns. Thank you!
