Firefox puts an icon next to the Mac HD

I loaded Firefox - I now have an icon on my desktop that looks like a small hard drive with the firefox logo. If I delete it, then the next time I start Firefox, it reappears and also another dialog box with the firefox logo, an arrow pointing to the App folder. Do I have to have this icon on the desktop? What is it?
As you can tell, I'm a newby -- loving the MBP 17" - and just trying to get the feel of things..
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discsussions.
I launched Firefox --- and it still re-created the icon on the desktop as well as bringing up another box that has Firefox with an arrow pointing to the right into the Application directory...
• Click on Firefox icon and drag into Folder icon. That will install Firefox in your Applications folder.
• Go to Applications and launch Firefox.
• Go to Dock and click and hold Firefox icon and choose option to keep in Dock.
• Go to sidebar in Finder window and eject Firefox disk icon, or select on desktop and Eject (command + e).

  • Custom icon NEXT TO the mousec cursor

    I've been pondering on how to make it possible to add a custom icon next to the mouse cursor.
    When the user clicks on a specific component in the gui and starts to "drag" it, an icon should be attached to the mouse cursor that shows that the component is attached to it. Sort of like a tiny icon below the cursor to the right.
    Anyone done this and can share some info?

    You could put a java2d to draw a picture next to the mouse.
    if you made this transparent and on top of everything then that wod work.
    OR
    You could change the mouses image to the icon. But i dont know how you would reposition it.

  • In the videos I've seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon. Mine is missing. Any idea why or how to get it.

    In the videos on the website I have seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon for viewing all your open web pages. Mine is missing.Any idea why or how do I put one on?

    Safari now uses tabs in iOS 5 so that icon is no longer in Safari. You have to tap on the + sign on the right side of the toolbar to create a new tab. You can open a new web site in that tab. You navigate from open page to open page by tapping on the tabs.
    To close a tab - tap on the X in the left side of the tab.

  • Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes...why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just bought?  I assume I need it to download from iCloud.

    Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes per response to my previous question.  Why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just downloaded?  I assume that's the only way to access movies on the cloud.  ( My computer shows the icon.)

    What are you trying to do? If the movie is on your iPad, the cloud icon will not appear next to the movie. You will see the cloud icon next to the movie if you delete it from your iPad and then you can download it again. That is assuming that the movie is eligible for a free download as not every movie can be downloaded again for free.
    This is a screenshot of the purchased tab in iTunes on my iPad. These movies are already on my iPad so there is no cloud icon next to them for another download.
    What I don't understand is for what reason are you trying to access the movie? If you want to watch the movie, it is in the videos app. Maybe that is where I am missing the boat.

  • New icon next to the battery....never seen it before

    Hi
    I noticed today that my iphone has a new icon next to the battery meter at the top right hand corner of the screen.
    The icon looks like a phone handset with 2 rows of button under it.
    I have looked at all my setting and can't figure out how to make it go away or how it got there.
    Does anyone know what this is or anyone have the same icon?

    TTY, also known as Text Telephone Device or Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD), is a special device required at both ends of the conversation that enables people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired to use the telephone to communicate. TTY works by allowing people to type messages back and forth to one another instead of talking and listening.

    Hello Debbie,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPad was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • When I start firefox through shortcut icon on desktop, the message comes that Windows cannot find C:\...\jqsnotify.exe

    When I start firefox through shortcut icon on desktop, the message comes that Windows cannot find C:\...\jqsnotify.exe . Tried to search the file through Search also but could not find the file.

    That is the Java Quick Starter, a couple of options for you:
    # Open the add-ons manager (in the Tools menu select Add-ons)
    # In the list of Extensions, click on Java Quick Starter to select it, then click on Disable
    When you re-start Firefox that should stop the error.
    The second option is to re-install Java. You are using an old version of Java so it is recommended that you install the latest version, available from http://java.com/

  • When i put a usb stick in the mac where would it appear

    when i put a usb stick in the mac where would it appear

    It depends on your settings. For example, in Finder Preferences, General there are checkboxes controlling whether your stick will appear on the desktop. In Finder Preferences, Sidebar there are checkboxes controlling whether your stick will appear in the sidebar of a Finder window (under Devices).  If your stick is recognizable to the computer, it should always appear in Disk Utility.

  • What does the icon next to the location icon mean? It has a lock with an arrow circling it.

    What does the icon next to the left of thelocation icon mean and to the right of the time? It has a lock with an arrow circling it. Thanks

    It's the portrait orientation lock.  When on, and that icon showing, the screen won't rotate to landscape view when you rotate the phone. 
    To turn it off - double click the home button to show the recently opened apps bar, slide it to the right showing the iPod controls and the Portrait Orientation Lock on the left.
