I can't get Firefox to install properly on my Mac?

I've been using Mozilla Firefox for a few years now on my Mac powerbook. I've recently downloaded the most recent version. During the download, my old version was automatically deleted. The new version is saved to my Applications folder, but if I try to open or access the file it attempts to open and then doesn't. It is driving me mad because all my autmoatic internet options are set up for Mozilla and I'm struggling in Opera at the moment.

Can anyone help me to overcome the Firefox problem and talk me through getting it set up properly? I'm a plug and play sort of person so clear and simple instructions would be great please!

Thanks

Update:

Shakeel, any further info?

Update 2:

Google Chrome is on Beta for PCs and not yet available to Macs.

Just because it's built for Macs, does NOT make Safari the best browser.

    re-install the old firefox, as a mac owner you should be used to having to wait till last for a mac edition, less users so testing for bugs takes longer.

    whats wrong with mac's 'safari' ? it built for the mac,

    or 'google chrome'.

    Basically the newest version or mozilla has a bug on it the bug is not harmful for windows vista or windows XP users but it will harm any MAC book
