Followed the online instructions from the Firefox website. It downloaded quickly to my mac. I opened the download and the large icon opened showing the Firefox logo with an arrow pointing to App. I dragged the icon to the App logo and could hear the clunk that usually means the drag and drop worked. I then opened App and could not find Firefox.

Do you see the Firefox application folder in the Finder?

  • /Applications/Firefox.app/
