Firefox download on a Mac...how do I get rid of the window that shows up every time I connect to the browser?

Question:I have an Apple eMac running OSX. The Firefox icon is on my desktop along with another Firefox icon with something behind it that looks like an iPod. Each time I hit the Firefox icon on my dock a window comes up with a big Firefox icon, a globe with a plus sign on it and an Applications folder icon. How do I stop this from showing up each time I go into Firefox?? Thanks for your help!!

Answers:
drag the firefox icon to your applications folder on your Mac HD, then from there you can drag the firefox items that are on your desktop to your trash they are not needed anymore...If you want a firefox icon in your dock, or on your desktop you can drag it from your applications folder to the dock or desktop and you can open it from there....
