Dude, you should have picked another nickname, seriously.iHacker said:I downloaded Firefox but now it has the Firefox drive on my desktop. How do I get rid of it?
Wonder if anyone can help? I'm trying to do this, but it keeps saying 'the disc 'Firefox couldn't be ejected because 'Firefox' is using it. Quit the application and try again'
I dont even have firefox open. Just this annoying disc symbol with 'Firefox' under it on the desktop![]()
And well searched by the way, this thread is 5 years old.
... then check you have quit Firefox, not just closed it. If the icon in your dock has a little light under it, it's still open.

To answer your question:
Copy the "Firefox.app" to you "Applications" folder (simply drag'n'drop), then drag the drive to the trash (an eject symbol will appear). Or click on the eject symbol next to the drive icon in your Finder window. Voilà, now you can even delete the Firefox.dmg image!
Bump...
I did this as well and it worked... until I had to open Firefox again and it reappeared. I tried restarting the computer after I ejected and it made no difference. I am a Mac newb so any information would be helpful.
