1. I have install Mac OS X on my personal PC, but soon i find that i can open the website except Apple.com by the safari. If i Google, the safari will crashs. I don't know why?

2. Soon after found the safari did not work, i downloaded the firefox package(firefox_2.0 _Rc.dmg) from firefox.com. After i install it, i found that i cannot open the fixfox (double click the firefox shortcut will no action execute).

Can anybody help me?

Thanks,

How did you download Firefox if you can not access anything but apple.com from Safari?

Firefox can not be run from within the disk image. Copy Firefox to your Applications folder and run that copy. You can eject the disk image and trash the .dmg file from thereon since you don't need them anymore.

Is this by any chance installed on a non-Apple PC (aka a hacked copy)? If so, then there isn't much that we can do to help here, as technically we aren't allowed to discuss these things (they are technically illegal). But if you want some advice, I would suggest that you check out InsanelyMac, the leading experts on such dealings.
