I've downloaded and installed Firefox and Thunderbird (and a couple
other apps). Why do they show up on the desktop with icons that
look like hard drives? (Disk images?) What do I do with those? Can
I move them somewhere? Delete them? Is that icon the actual app?
I'm confused about installing... sometimes there's no choice where
to put something. Why don't they just install to the apps folder?
Those are indeed disk images.
If there is no Installer app in the disk image, just drag the
application's icon to your Applications folder to install it. you can
then drag the disk image to the trash to "eject" the image.
hope that helps.
