Firefox 7.0 and 8.0 are not working properly with MAC. They constantly disappear and I have to download again. What is the problem with these new versions. You have ruined a good application.

The newer versions just don't work. they don't seem to install as such and just stay as a download but even then, on version 8.0 that disappears and has to be downloaded again.

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.
