[G4] Firefox dmg install?

[John Niven]

Yup to both :-) but add:

Once you have dragged the icon to the applications
folder, and waited for it to finish copying, you
should click on the icon (in the apps folder) and drag
it to the dock.

It will then be available to launch from the dock.

BTW any icon in the dock that you do not regularly use
can be safely dragged to the trash. The application
will still be available in the apps folder, so you can
drag it back to the dock later if you want. That way
you can keep your dock uncluttered, and have all your
most used apps to hand.

Good luck,

John
