Switching from Windows to Macintosh and installing new software

Firefox installation screen, Mac OS X

I switched to Macintosh in 2009, after a long time with Windows. Neither operating system is "right", they're just different. The new computer itself is beautiful, much of the UI works very well, but there's a lot to get used to.

One of my first tasks was to install Firefox. This is the installation screen, standard on the Mac, but I had no idea what to do. Here are some other installation screens.

Oh, and here's what I was supposed to do.
