How can I go back to Firefox 5, the 6 update is terrible, constantly get 'not responding' when navigating.

I want to know if I can go back to Firefox vs 5 until vs 7 comes out? I am constantly getting 'not responding' from the browser when navigating through tabs and sites. (ie. if on say facebook, after maybe writing a comment or viewing a picture, I'll click on a second picture or other comment and I have to wait for the browser to 'respond'. This happens on multiple sites and multiple tabs.
I thought it was my internet connection at first but after trying Chrome and explorer browsers I do not have this issue.
It is really irritating and annoying. I did not have this issue with vs 5.

Have you tried the steps at [http://www.roboform.com/support/faq/roboform-v7#faq_firefox http://www.roboform.com/support/faq/roboform-v7#faq_firefox] ?
Firefox 5 is not recommended for security reasons, but if you don't want 6.0 you can try 3.6.x: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]

I use Webcourses for school and it does not support Firefox 4 or higher, how can I go back to Firefox 3.6 (windows 7) ?

I do online classes and the web portal for the school (UCF) does not support any firefox version higher than Firefox 3.6.
I get thrown out of the portal at various times and it is really making things difficult.
How do I go back to firefox 3.6 from firefox 4.01 in windows 7?

Install Firefox Portable 3.6.20 to your hard drive for that website. 
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
It won't affect your current Firefox installation, which you should update to Firefox 6.0 - you are missing a bunch of important security fixes by being two versions behind the latest. 3.6.20 doe have all those fixes.

How can I go back to firefox 22?

Firefox updated itself to 23 a week ago and I can't take it anymore. Crashing, BSODs, only when I'm browsing and only in FF - IE is fine but I hate IE.
I've read some in the support forums and I don't want to deactivate flash, hw acceleration... I shouldn't have to alter my default HW settings to make it so a browser doesn't crash my PC
It always ran fine on 22. So how can I just go back to 22 and NOT have firefox update itself without asking me?
heh... it's happened so often that now, when my screen starts flashing on & off (the sign of an impending BSOD), I ctrl+alt+del to start task manager as fast as I can and kill firefox. Only way to prevent a BSOD.

For now you can revert back to fx 22, but also consider that firefox is updating to firefox 23.0.1 that fixes many crashes.

How can I downgrade back to Firefox 3.6 because 4.0 won't run on my version of OSX?

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 & installed it on my MacBook running OSX.4.11 but when I tried to run it I got an error saying it was not compatible with my version of OSX.
So if I can't open Firefox I lose all my bookmarks....
How can I downgrade to the version I was running before I upgraded & replaced all the files with version 4? I think this was 3.6 as I do upgrade regularly.
Thanks!

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
When you re-install Firefox 3.6 it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

I CANNOT DOWNLOAD THE ABOVE

Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
Any luck?
Oh, and due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.

How can I go back to firefox 3.0

I want to go back to firefox 3.0. Ever since they upgraded my computer its awful ...So slow I can't use it. My mouse hesitates and clicks on things I'm not pointing to.

If you updated firefox automatically, try updating Firefox manually by reinstalling Firefox from http://www.getfirefox.com

How can I make my current Firefox settings the default settings, so that PC Tools won't delete the menu bar?

I use PS Tools Performance Toolkit to clean/repair my (Vista) registry. When the utility runs, Firefox closes. When I start Firefox again, the appearance on screen has been reset to default -- no menu bar and the the web address line is scrambled. All the settings can be manually corrected, but can I prevent it from changing in the first place.

Can you configure your external software not to clear your Firefox settings (as opposed to, say, cookies and history)?
Unfortunately, there is no handy backup file of toolbar configuration information (localstore.rdf) to restore, so you would need to build your own system to restore it.

How can I recover my phone memory after the software update...

Hi,
My has been dead for one day, after continuous trying, I got a pop window to install the updates. I thought only updates and clicked on it. But it took long time and my phone got reset. All my data which was stored on phone memory got wiped out. I didn't use blackberry link before. First time I used it and it was happened like this.
Please help me how can I recover that data again. Please guys..I lost very important data..plz do help me..

Hello,
Restore depends on a source of data from which to restore. BB provides plenty of FREE methods to backup your data and thereby protect that priceless resource. If you did not avail yourself of that, then you have migrated from the latter to the former in this old saying...there are 2 kinds of computing device users -- those who have lost data, and those who will. Backups, like insurance, are neither a reactive nor an optional activity.
Good luck!

I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

TS1702 How can i load sibeluis scorch ,because since the software update it will not work any more, before it worked well ?

How can i load sibelius scorch, before the software update it worked well,now it will not work, even re down loading it will not hold, please help?

That would appear to be a Mac program, so posting here in the iTunes Store forum isn't likely to get you any useful advice. If this support article from Sibelius doesn't help:
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/FAQ/en362435
I'd suggest asking in the Sibelius forums or contacting Avid/Sibelius support.

My Firefox out of the blue won't start and shows not responding when I left click.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. It still show it as not responding. I have a MAC system. I have searched and can't find a fix. Please help.

This issue is probably caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar.

Why does Firefox frequently spin at (Not Responding) when navigating, then finally load after a delay?

I just updated to Windows 7 and Firefox 7. This has been happening navigating within the mozilla.com site, yahoo, and white pages (where I've noticed it so far). I will click to open something, and it will spin, and then the top line will say "Firefox Not Responding". Then after a while it usually loads. But sometimes it takes a minute or longer. I checked on Internet Explorer, and there is no delay for those sites.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

How can I go back to Firefox 3.6. I can only find the 4.0 upgrade and I need some of old add ons that are not available on 4.0 plus can't seem to post to Craiglist. I keeps crashing.

When I look for 3.6.6 or only the 4.0 upgrade comes up. I thought I could downgrade.

I had the same problem (issue with Google Apps and XUL runner etc) of needing to downgrade. To pull it off I went to the main Firefox download page (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/) and followed the link to OTHER SYSTEMS AND LANGUAGES which took me to a page that included a link on the right hand side to download Firefox 3.6.16.
(The stuff below pertains to Windows. If you are on a different OS your steps will vary)
To do the actual downgrade (and there may be some other steps that would be wise to take but this is what worked for me) I merely renamed "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" to "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox bad" (in case I want to try troubleshooting the issue later) and then ran the "Firefox Setup 3.6.16.exe" file that downloaded from that link. That solved my problem and I'm back and running 3.6.16.
In case you don't feel comfortable changing things in your Program Files directory you might try a different approach and try uninstalling via the Control Panel and Add and Remove Programs (or whatever it is called on the version of Windows you are on) and then running the installation file. I didn't go that route so I can't tell you how well that might work.

How can I go back to firefox 4

I've lost fireftp and norton safe identity with Firefox 5 - that cripples my use of the browser. I want to return to Firefox 4 until such time that these can be accommodated. Therefore, I want to go back to using Firefox 4.

FireFTP is compatible with Firefox 5.0 and Norton had an update available for Firefox 5.0 on 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireftp/
And see Norton for the 5.0 patch for their product.

How can I go back to FireFox 35?

I cannot customize anything but the Bookmark Bar, and none of those customizations make any sense. I cannot add a Home icon or New Tab icon in front of the address box--I used these all the time and do not want to do without them.
I was not able to add my favorite search engine by following the directions on the Help page.
Is there a way to downgrade back to my last version of Firefox with all my settings intact?
The rest is /rant.
I know I have the flu and am a bit cranky, but putting a button there that says 'Refresh Firefox' (when you should have said "Install new Firefox with weird settings without existing features") was not very clear. I thought it was just a check to see if all the parts of Firefox were present and uncorrupted. That's what refresh means.
Also, being greeted by "Firefox Certificate Store Hotfix nnnnnnnnnn.n (disabled)" without any means of enabling it was problematic at best. Kind of like having found out a gorilla packed your parachute. After considerable time searching it seems that it doesn't work with 36? Why didn't it just say that? Security features mysteriously disabled is suspicious, as in something malware would do.
You guys and gals are great, but give a guy warning. Thanks for Firefox.

I'm getting the message: Firefox (4.0) is not compatible with this version of MAC OSX (10.4.11); how can I go back to Firefox 3.6?

Is Firefox 4.0 compatible with Mac OSX 10.4.11?
If not, is there somewhere I can download the older version of Firefox 3.6 that worked fine with my Mac?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
