When I try to move my downloaded Firefox icon into my Applications folder I end up with its alias. Why?
I followed directions for getting Firefox free on my MacBook Pro (OS X.5.8). A downloaded Firefox icon appeared on my desktop. But when I try to move it into my Applications folder I get an alias there not the original downloaded icon. What should I do?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
- Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
