New firefox doesn't work, how do I get the old one back?

From the email newsletter, I downloaded the new firefox. I said yes when asked if I wanted to replace the one that was there. I then found out that my computer's operating system will not work with the new firefox, and my old one is gone. How do I get the previous version back?

-> Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
* Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/7.0.1/system-requirements/
-> Firefox 3.6.23 (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
-> For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

* http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/
Check and tell if its working.

Could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

I hate this new version of iTunes. How can I get the old version back?

Anybody have any ideas how I can get the old iTunes version back? This new one is almost impossible to use, at least the way I use it.

In the old version, when I logged in to the store, it automatically updated the podcasts to which I was subscribed. The new format carries no dates and very little identification so that I know what I don't yet have when I go to a new podcast. The music I searched for was sorely lacking; I know they have more Brubeck than what I found because I have done a similar search in the past and there were many more choices. It's just a mess trying to find what I want. I'm afraid to plug in the iPod for fear of this new program screwing up what I have. I don't want to have to reload all my music and reorganize it. It's good to know I'm not alone in my dissatisfaction. And Apple makes it very difficult to give them direct feedback. Most sites at least have a "Contact Us" option. I've gotten a ton of email since I posted this afternoon. Hope that wasn't a mistake.

Downloaded the latest version of safari. Now the curved page for top sites is gone. How can I get the old one back?, Downloaded the latest version of safari. Now the curved page for top sites is gone. How can I get the old one back?

I realize it is pure esthetics, but I really liked the curved look to the top sites screen, and would like it back.

Firefox 4 sux how do I get the old one back?

The navigation bar no longer has icons for home, refresh, etc. Why do you have to jump all over the screen when, before, a simple toolbar took care of everything? I want my 3.6 back. Never thought IE would look attractive. Always loved Firefox because less is more but this is stupid.

Yeah well be careful about going back to the previous version.....it won't be working like it should either!!! I have found that since returning to 3.6.16 now just about every page I open gets the "Server Not Found" and no matter how many times I refresh it is the same thing. Also some of the features from firefox 4 such as the "Home" and "Refresh" icons remained to the right side. ALSO when I reloaded back to the previous version and opened it for the first time it even remembered the previous tabs that were open! Now please tell me how a freshly downloaded version could do that! I have done all of the suggested fixes in Windows Firewall exceptions for the "Server Not Found" and of course this did nothing. So my point is Good Luck! I really loved my Firefox.....not so much anymore.

Firefox is not compatible with my version of OSX. How do I get the old one back? Will I lose my favorites? I really wish firefox would have showed the system requirements before they asked me to upgrade!

I have OSX 10.4.11. Where can I find the old download for firefox with all my favorites? Everytime I look it wants me to download 4.0

Older versions of Firefox are available here:

My callout toolbar stopped working abruptly. Restarted computer. Still doesn't work - how do I get the tool back?

My callout toolbar stopped working abruptly. Restarted computer. Still doesn't work - how do I get the tool back?

The tool is called a “callout” note. It places a text box with a leader. It’s been working just fine until suddenly it stopped working and I get an error message saying “desired operation cannot be performed on this object”. It doesn’t matter where I try to place the callout. It simply stopped working. I have tried restarting Acrobat. I have restarted my computer. I have used multiple files to ensure the issue isn’t with a corrupted file. Nothing works. The tool simply stopped working.

FF4 will not open after download... "you can't open the application "firfox" because it is not supported on this application." If 4 doesn't work on OS 10.5.8, then how do I get the old firfox back?

I downloaded the FF4 update and it has the "no smoking" symbol over the FF icon. When you attempt to open the app it states: "you can't open the application "firfox" because it is not supported on this application."
I have OS 10.5.8
If it will not work, how do I get the old version of FF back?

Are you sure you downloaded the .dmg file? It should have automounted for you and opened in finder. Then all you have to do is drag the FF4 icon over the Applications link in that finder window and it will install.
I seem to recall seeing the error you noted when I accidentally clicked a windows .exe file on my Mac.
Also, if you visit firefox.com from your Mac, it should be prompting you to download the .dmg anyway. The only way you could get the .exe would be to click the "other operating systems" link below the main download button.

After upgrading from Mac 10.6 to 10.9, firefox creates new windows by an "expanding" animation instead of just appearing. How do I get the old behavior back?

On Mac 10.6.8, when I create a new window by hitting command-N or going to the file menu, or if another page creates a new window, the new window just appears instantaneously. However, after upgrading to Mac 10.9.2, new windows appear by an "expanding" animation, which takes slightly longer than the old "appearing" behavior. (Other apps on my Mac do not exhibit the "expanding" behavior, only firefox.)
Was this behavior intentional? How can I get the old behavior back?
I am using Firefox 28.0.

Hi __trout__,
Go to the mac system preferences and click on Doc. There is a Minimize window using.... select the animation there.
Hope this helps.

I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back?

I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back? It said my tool bars are not compatible. I want them back.

That is the new appearance Firefox 4 and now Firefox 5, you can easily put things back because Firefox is customizable.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

I seem to have lost my wifi profile on my macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

seem to have lost my WiFi profile on my Macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

The profile will automatically be added back again when you connect to the network again. Here, I assume that you have a check mark in the box next to Remember networks this computer has joined.
If the box is checked and the network does not appear, then there may be an operating system problem with your Mac.
That would be beyond the scope of what we handle here with the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, so you would want to post in the appropriate operating system community to follow up on that.
