Downloaded Firefox 0.9.3-mac onto my eMac on which I'm running OS 10.3.5. When I
tried to open Firefox the icon kept on disappearing and then re-appearing in a
regular cycle of about a second. I couldn't drag it off the dock, or to the
trash or force it to quit. I also couldn't restart my Mac and had to physically
unplug the power cable. I treid this three times with the same results. At one
point having tried to open firefox twice, I had two bouning firefox icons in my
dock.

1.Download firefox into Max OS 10.3.5

3.

Actual Results:  
Disappearing/re-appearing icon, unable to open or close programme

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have opened

Reporter, do you have an older version of Firefox in the trash can ? If you do,
you'll have to empty the trashcan first, otherwise you keep executing the old one.
