cannot eject disk image

Trying to install apps on my new Macbook Air. After I run the installer, it leaves a disk image on the desktop, and when I try to eject it, I get this "cannot eject, disk image is in use" error message. I haven't had this problem with my regular 27" iMac. Am I doing something wrong?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Thanks for the help. I got it sorted. I noticed two icons for Firefox in the Dock - apparently one was pointing to the diskimg and one was pointing to the Applications folder. I launched the second, then was able to remove the first from the Dock and eject the diskimg. Weird, but it works now.
