I downloaded Firefox. The logo is now in my Applications folder. Does that mean the program has been installed?

If you dragged it to the Applications folder, then it is installed; Firefox does not have an installer per se - you just drag it over. And yes, you can delete it from the Downloads folder - I actually have my downloads set to park themselves on the desktop; that way, I don't forget they're there, install them (or file them away) and then trash the download.
You can also easily check to see if the application is really complete by highlighting the icon and hitting the Command-I keys - that will bring up a get info window; the size of my Firefox app is about 77 MB - what does yours say?
For general info: some applications want you to simply drag them to the Applications folder - those are also the kind you can simply drag to the trash in case you want to delete them. Others bring up an installer which places components in the right places automatically - if you want to delete one of those, it's best to check for and use their own uninstaller.
