Downloaded new version of Firefox but the pop-up to drag the Firefox icon into the applications folder doesn't work and there is a white circle with a diagonal line through the Firefox icon. Above the blue area on top of the pop-up it states, "1 of 2 selected, Zero KB available" Why?

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:
