A brand new iMac with the current OS X 10.8.2 has no Applications folder in the dock. When I try to download Firefox the last step instructs to drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder. What do I do since there is no such folder?

FYI, an older MacBook Pro I had does have an Applications folder in the dock so there was no problem downloading and installing Firefox.

Thank you ideato. I will try your suggestion next Wed. when I visit with my friend who just purchased the new iMac. I am trying to help her to learn and navigate the Mac as she had previously used only a Windows/PC. I have always use Mac laptops so this is the first time I have encountered an iMac and apparently the OS is a little different re the application folder and the downloading of Firefox.
