Every time I use Firefox, the Disk Image logo shows up on my desktop and I can't get rid of it. I used to be have it set on my old computer so that I never saw the disc image icon, but I don't know how to replicate that on my new computer.

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.
