Firefox Browser on the Mac

IMO (in my opinion), Safari is still the best all-around Mac browser, however, I have clients who really love the features of Firefox, especially the search box with multiple search engines. i am a Google power-user, and since Google Docs doesn't work in Safari 3.0.4, I use Firefox for all my Google access.

Special note on installing Firefox on the Mac: what the heck does this picture mean?

This is the Firefox installer window. It means that you drag the Firefox.app icon to your Applications folder. So, you must have the Applications window open (Finder Go menu > Applications), or have any window open with Applications in the Sidebar to the left.

Once Firefox in in your Applications folder, drag that icon to your Dock and you are done.
