I purchased a new Mac. I tried to download firefox, and the system won't let it open or even read it. the Mac says the program cannot be run in DOS mode.

Download the Mac version .dmg and not the Windows version which is .exe

Look in the Mac OS X list as the file should be named Firefox.6.0.2.dmg
