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.
