How can I re-download the previous version of Firefox. I have lost most of my add-ons with 4.0 including my password manager. This is a calamity and I've changed my default browser from Firefox. Help!!!

The problem is very simple. As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4.0 I lost my add-ons. The add-ons were the reason I have been using Firefox for several years. This seems to be ludicrous. The new version should be able to manage integration of existing add-ons or the Firefox team should have provided the add-on authors with advance technical information before releasing 4.0 to the world.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • How can I down load the previous version?

    I was trying to download Firefox 4 and realized that my OS will not support it. Unfortunately, my old Firefox is gone. How can I down load the previous version?

    You can get all previous versions for firefox on this link [http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/ link text] You can also get older software versions for almost anything.

  • How can I return to the previous version?

    ''locking this thread which was started back in February about Firefox 26 / 27''
    Yesterday, while trying to get rid of the uninvited AVG elements in my Mozilla opening page I some how installed the latest version of Mozilla which I really dislike. Given this is on my wife's computer while she is away and she does not like changes to her computer I would really appreciate it being returned to the previous version.
    I also consider your instructions on how to do anything regarding setting up Mozilla as absolutely terribly written.

    Your current level 29 is TERRIBLE on my iMac and I want to go back a level, until you fix it!!!! Help?????!!!!!

  • How can I downgrade to the previous version I was using? It was better, more user-friendly, than my current one.

    Around two months ago I upgraded my Firefox. I don't remember to what version (and to my surprise, when I clicked on Firefox today, it automatically upgraded to version 5, which seems to me to have the same problem), but it doesn't have an icon to stop a page from opening and when I want to go back to a previous page, there is no tab (might not have the right word) to click that will show a drop-down list of the pages I went to before, so I have to click back, back, back, until I find what I want. Previously, the back, forward, refresh, and stop icons were together on the left side. There's still a reload button (now on the right), but why no "stop"? That's very important. Plus the drop-down list of web pages visited.
    I also found right after I upgraded that my Yahoo mail was affected. Let's say I open an email, then click on back to return to my inbox. Instead of going one page back to the list of emails I received, it goes back to the first web page after logging in, the page where Yahoo says I have this many messages and there are updates on my friends. So I have to click on inbox again to see my list of messages. Or, still in the inbox, say I want to revisit old messages which are three pages away from the first page listing my messages, so I click "next" twice to get to them and then open one, and then click "back"---what happens is, I find myself back to the very first page instead of the third one! So I have to click "next" again!
    You can imagine how inconvenient it is. All of this started in the very same session when I upgraded my Firefox to the version Mozilla was promoting then. So I'd like to have my old version back, which I had no problems with. Thanks for your help.

    I want to know how to DISABLE the automatic updates and return to the earlier version that has a MUCH better toolbar and is MUCH easier to use I am using MAC OS 10.5.8 on a G5 tower and loved Firefox until now and did NOT want the update that automatically installed itself!

  • How can I return to the previous version, 27.0.1 is acting strange.

    It appears the fix, MFSA 2014-13 Inconsistent JavaScript handling of access to Window objects, has broken the process. The script from http://supergenpass.com is intermittent and doesn't work until
    clicked multiple times and disqus wouldn't work a few days ago but is now.

    Could you explain the steps needed to reproduce the problem on the site you linked to?
    For Disqus issues, if you run avast!, disable the avast! Online Security extension. See: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/975592 Disqus and other comment boxes no longer appear.]
    If that is not applicable to you, you can check for a conflict with another extension by testing in Firefox's Safe Mode.
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • After updating to Firefox 5.0, my email/webmail account isn't working. How can I revert to the previous version of Firefox?

    The email account that I am having trouble with is [email protected] I can't open any emails or perform any other function (purge, label, discard, view, etc) I can send an email though.

    This might have been helpful if it was in English and not in German. . . at least it looks like German.

  • How can I downgrade to a previous version?

    How can I downgrade to a previous version. I upgraded to 2.3 and now my site is totally hosed because the fonts on the master page are changing size arbitrarily without me touching them. I've had to eliminate my site map on the bottom of my master page because I've spent over 20 hours trying to correct the issue and can't seem to get anywhere. Even completely recreating the page doesn't correct the problem.
    I was going to simply change a few photos from an older backup copy of the html files, but when I opened them with the 2.3 version, it changed all of the font sized on those files too.
    I need my site working properly, so, how can I downgrade to the previous version and get my site working again until the bug is fixed?
    Help please!

  • I am a Flash developer. When I change a Flash file (SWF) and try to test it, Firefox displays the previous version even though I have cleared the cache. Clearing the cache obviously doesn't clear everything. Why?

    I developed a Flash file (SWF) with a light blue start button, placed it on a web server then went to the URL using Firefox (3.6.8). Later I updated the SWF (changed the button to dark blue), replaced the SWF on the web server, opened Firefox and used Tools/Clear Recent History... to clear the cache. Then when I went to the URL to test the replaced SWF it clearly opened the previous version (light blue button). How can that happen if the previous version no longer exists on the web server? Firefox can only be opening the file from its cache, so why is the file still there if I just cleared the cache?

    Your not alone!
    I had the identical issue with iPhone config Utility on windows 7 64bit.
    A virtual macOS on the same machine didn't have a problem, windows iTunes didnt have a problem. Just a glitch with ICU on windows
    I tried everything you did and the only thing that fixed it was to change the appID or app name (I forget which I did).
    I don't know where that old app data is stored on the machine, but I deleted all apps, uninstalled/reinstalled ICU and it still would populate and install the old ipa.
    I also still periodically get weird errors/glitches deploying to iOS on windows.
    It's like some days I need to deploy with ICU, sometimes iTunes, sometimes I need to run the VM mac... SOO frustrating.
    It always works one way or another, so the app itself is always fine.
    I guess I really need to look into that new direct deployment option...

  • TS1717 i updated itunes and now i cant find half my music- how can i return to the earlier version

    i updated my Itunes to the newest version- now it cant find half my music and my computer is reall acting wonky since i installed. how can i uninstall to the previous version?

    iTunes has no serial number.
    If iTunes says it can't find the files, it means it can't read them from where they should be.
    iTunes doesn't store the music actually within itself, it just keeps the location of the song, and then reads it from there. E.g. Song is in 'My Music', add it too iTunes. When iTunes plays the song, it's playing it from 'My Music', not from a full song file in the iTunes library.
    So, do you have your music files stored on the actual hard-drive of your computer, or on an external hard drive? If external hard drive, are you getting this error both when it's connected, AND when it's disconnected, or only when it's disconnected?

  • Can I revert to the previous version on my iphone?

    Hi :
    I recently updated to the version 4 on my iphone 3GS phone and it has been **** since then!
    How can I revert to the previous version and if so, is it worth it?
    Thank you guys

    Ok, I'll be more polite here since the powers that be deleted my rant about version 4.
    What can cause issues for a 3g to not take the new software update? It forced me to restore my phone to factory defaults. After doing that for the 4th time in a month it's telling me that certain songs that previously worked are now corrupt and cannot load. It's also become quite the pain that the push notifications don't work. I've been told over the phone by tech support that most users don't use push because it decreases battery life. I need this feature. I'm an admin on a truck forum and need my notifications ASAP. Now I have to spend a few hours getting my POS back into working order. Any ideas? Oh, don't suggest a phone upgrade either. That's not gonna happen.

    Many thanks b Noir
    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

  • I need to download firefox 9.0 becuase a toolbar I use is not compatible with 10.0. Where can I download the previous version? Thanks

    I went to check my version information by selecting about under the help menu. Firefox started downloading the update and prompted me when it finished. I ok'd it, not realizing it would update to 10.0. A toolbar that I use is not compatible with the new version so I need to download the previous version. Can anyone tell me how to find 9.0. Thanks

    To keep your computer and files safe, you should not go back to Firefox 9. Firefox 10 contains security fixes. You may be able to make your toolbar work by using the add-on compatibility reporter as described in this article [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox]].
    If you really must go back to Firefox 9, you can find it here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/9.0.1/win32/

  • How can I return to the previous browsing page in the App store?

    How can I return to the previous browsing page in the App store?

    Thanks for your reply but problem not solved. If I have reached page 5 for example, I can not go back to the previous page 4. Instead it goes back to page 1 when I use the back track arrows, gestures or the back or forward commands!! The girl at my local Apple dealer says that it can't be done. This should be a very basic browsing function in the App Store. I know other people have the same problem.
