I upgraded to FF 8.0 but have been unable to get the App to copy over to the App folder. It asks me if I want to overwrite the existing file of the same name. When I try, it tells me it cannot because certain items had to be skipped. It tells me to go to File<Get Info and make sure "Locked" is deselected and that the permissions are all set correctly. However, it does not tell me what these "Items" so I can check them. I have tried to eject the Firefox disk as well as move it to the trash but, no matter what I do, as soon as I open the browser again, the disk pops back up on my desktop and the Application copy window opens back up.

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.
