Which version did you download?  
Reporter, can you open the file that you download (it should have a .dmg
extension). It's not an installer, but opens as a Finder-window on your desktop.
You can drag the Firefox icon then to your desktop or to the Applications
folder. You can't launch Firefox directly from the window (bug 246789).

Incase he doesn't see the first one...

You need to download your language version as needed from here:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.3/mac/

You were downloading the Windows builds, which don't work on Macs. If you
download a Mac specific build from that location you should be fine. If you
still have problems, please visit the forums at http://forums.mozillazine.org/


Thanks for trying Firefox.
