Thunderbird installed but folder keeps popping up.

Hi All,
I'm new to the whole iMac and OS X scene so I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to remove a folder that keeps popping up when I open Thunderbird.
When I downloaded and installed Thunderbird a folder opened with an icon for TB and a screen showing it being dragged into to the apps folder so I did.
Then I dragged the icon from the apps folder to the dock but now each time I click on the icon in the dock the folder with the image of the TB icon being dragged to the apps folder also opens.
The image also mounts and stays on the desktop until I eject it. I installed Firefox the same way yet I don't have any issues or problems with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Roger
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi Templeton,
The original file I downloaded I thought was a compressed or zipped file I'll delete it and see what happens and let you know.
Thanks, Roger
PS How do I include an image in my post to show you what keeps popping up????

Newest flash player installed but window keeps popping up saying I need it installed

I have tried over and over again, installing, uninstalling the Newest Edition of Adobe Flash Player. Even though the icon shows up in my programs listing saying its in the computer and that the installation was complete, I still get these small windows showing up stating I need to install the latest flash player when I want to view certain videos. Is it in the computer or not? Help!!

I have a Compaq Presario F700 32 bit computer with Internet Explorer 9 as defaullt browser. I have been having issues getting the flash Player to work....it keeps coming up that I need to download the Flash player when I try to view a video online,like off the weather channel or You tube. It IS in my program list when I open up Programs. sometimes videos come up, other times not. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, uninstalled it again and again, the screen says that it installed successfully but the window still pops up saying I need to install the newest edition. I have been having issues with my computer after updating a PC cleaner ARO2012, but this download is taken out now, Also when I put a recent update on the Weather channel, the computer froze up, otherwise it was doing pretty well yesterday. It seems like I have a problem with updates from companies, I noticed it twice that the computer froze up soon after.
Also I removed recent downloads thinking that was the problem but the issue still remains. I have done everything that Adobe had instructed in regard to trying to fix this. Even my Microsoft Fix it comes up with errors and I cannot run it. I am beginning to think that my computer is just old(over 5 years) and the downloads are being affected by my hard disc drive not working properly. I did a disc check and one time it stated I had a corrupted Disc C. But then on Startup repair it claimed to have deleted or fixed the problem. I get blue and black screens popping up on my computer often, saying that the program had to close to protect the computer. So I don’t know...I did everything possible. when I go onto the Adobe website.....that little screen they ask you if anything shows up on it to determine if Adobe is installed? Well...it shows up completely blank, not even a error message...but yet, the Adobe Flash player is installed in my computer according to my programs list. Ok, Hope I covered everything. S Lind

Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

Top download and install apps you need space available on the iPod equal to about three time the file download size. If you download more than one app at a time you need about three times the total file download size available so it is better if short on storage to purchase one at a time.

Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd

Try to Restore with iTunes on your computer. If this does not work, there is full Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

Unless you are able to input the previous iCloud credentials, then all you've found is a brick.

How do I retrieve my password?

In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

A folder keeps popping up whenever I log into my Mac?

Hi, I've recently installed the new OS X Lion, and everything has worked great so far.
However, I noticed that now, everytime I turn on my mac and log in, a folder pops up (specifically the folder MacOS)
Is there a way to stop this folder from popping up everytime I log in?
P.S. I use an Early 2011 Macbook Pro 13" at 2.7 Ghz, if thats of any help.
Thank you!

thanks. got rid of it popping up when i log in. that thing that kept popping up isn't something important that can mess up my MBP? I thought I messed up somewhere when installing my new hard drive cuz that thing kept popping up. thanks for your help really appreciate it.
