Mulongo oyo etiyamaki na archive. Tuna motuna mosusu soki osengeli na lisalisi

I had to use Safari to download Firefox 4., since Firefox 3.6.16 can't open DMG files. I apparently now have 4.0 on my mac, but I can't open it. I can only get 3.6.16. What don't I understand?

My mac (OSX 10.6.7, 2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo, memory 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) thinks that I've downloaded Firefox 4 in my Applications folder. But I can't access it. I don't know what I did wrong, or how to undo the wrong. Why is Firefox sending out updates in DMG files if firefox can't open DMG files?

FireFox can't open lots of files it isn't suposed to. DMG is opened by the Mac osx as a virtual volume file you just drag the FireFox icon to where you want it installed. Check your desktop for a FireFox volume... like a drive. Double click the DMG file if it is not there. This is how Mac works it has nothing to do with FireFox, many apps install this way!
