How Do I Hide The Firefox Disk Img. On Desktop

The Firefox 'drive' is a disk image that's containing the application - a little like a zipped folder. You need to remove the application from it and then you can safely delete the image.
Mount the disk image that says Firefox. When it's mounted, you'll see a little eject symbol next to it in the upper sidebar in Finder.
Drag the Firefox application - the logo icon - to your Applications folder. Eject the disk image by clicking the eject symbol in the Finder. Drag the disk image to the trash.

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!
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

Try restarting your computer and then drag the image to the trash. Make sure that FireFox isn't set to start automatically when you login.

Make sure you have dragged the Firefox logo from the disk symbol, 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. Click on it, go to Firefox in the top left and then select quit and try again.
If that's not the problem, then it's probably something else. Maybe go for a little restart?
And well searched by the way, this thread is 5 years old.

Thanks so much guys. This worked. It did just need a re-start. I'm still just getting to grips with my brand new MacBook Pro (which I LOVE!!)
Good point. If you're new to OSX you could easily think an open application is closed.

you probably dragged the dmg to the applications folder instead of the application itself.
