Is it missing from your Dock or missing from your hard drive. They are not the same.
Open your Applications folder and see if it is present. If not, look in Trash.
If it is neither place, you can download FireFox again. Because FireFox stores its data in the Users folder, any bookmarks should be restored even if you must install a fresh copy of FF.

That is hard to answer without more information, such as what iMac you have, what operating system it runs, and what actions/activity preceded the disappearance. I used to find things on my Macs out of sort every time my granddaughter visited when she was a toddler!
