New firefox installed - didn't give me the option of not installing it before telling me that (essential to me) add-ons were incompatible. How can I get the old firefox version back?

I would not have installed the new firefox if I had known in advance that two of my essential add-ons would no longer work. Now I want the old firefox version back so I can continue to function until the add-ons are updated. Suggestion: when you notify user that add-ons are incompatible, give the option of reverting to an earlier firefox version.

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,
    André

    I recently got a new iphone but when I restored it in iTunes one of my games that I have played for months RESET. How do I get my old game info back?

    If you made a backup before you restored it you can restore your iPhone from a backup and your game data should be restored.  When you connect your iPhone in iTunes you can right click on it in the sidebar and select restore from backup.

  • I won Lightroom 1.0 a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    I won Lightroom 1.0 as a door prize a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    Thanks for replying, Jim. I wasn't planning to use it for raw images. I shoot film, black and white, and have many negatives I want to print. I am unfamiliar with the upgrades in Lightroom. I wasn't unhappy with the version I have. It was useful for my purposes.
    Because it was a few years ago, I don't remember if I registered the product. I was able to login to my account. But could not find a path to communicate with Adobe. I will keep trying.

  • My computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library?

    my computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone 3g is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library without losing everything? How do I delete old audiobooks from my iphone?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • HT1727 How can i get my old downloaded songs back that were purchased from my account to a new computer?

    I deauthorized all my old computers to make it so my sister and I could get ITunes on our new computers, I authorized my computer now and i will authorize hers tomorrow but its not showing my past purchages on itunes in my library. How do I get my old songs back?

    Have you copied them from your old computer via one of the methods described on the page that you posted from ? Your music will only show on your new computer's iTunes library if you put it onto it, so you will either need to copy it from your old computer, from your backup of your library and add it via File > Add To Library, or (depending upon whether you are in a country where you can re-download music and if the music is still in the store) you might be able to re-download your purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your new computer.

  • How can I get my old Firefox back, this version sucks?

    This version has nothing I like. How can I go back to the old version I had? I don't know if you think I have furnished enough information or not but I would appreciate an answer. You should not force people to change their toolbar preferences and everything else they have used for years. you had a good thing and you screwed it up. WHY? don't say to improve Firefox because you didn't.

    Please see: [[Common questions after updating Firefox]]
    You can try this extension to override compatibility issues if you have those,

  • How can i get my old firefox back?

    I don't like this new blue one and didn't ask for it, it was suddenly there. Besides, it has some really peculiar behaviour. As an example, right at this moment I have 5 firefox tabs open. The first one is a question on your forum. When I clicked the 'ask a question' link at the top of the page, it opened the next page in a new tab. And when I clicked the search button on that page, it opened another tab again. That tab asked me what product I want support with and opened another tab with the next page. And yet 10 minutes ago it was working properly. It keeps doing this, suddenly changing it's mind on how it opens new pages.
    Also, I can be scrolling down a page using the scroll wheel on my mouse, then suddenly it stops scrolling and starts making the page larger or smaller instead. Why does it keep changing it's mind on what it's doing?
    Really don't like this new browser and would appreciate it if I could get my old one back which worked perfectly well and really didn't need upgrading.

    Thanks for your response Cor el, I'll try that the next time it happens, it's completely random. One moment it functions normally then suddenly it changes its mind.
    Restarting my pc usually brings it back to normal until next time.
    One thing I've noticed, but not 100% sure there's a connection here.....I edit my websites online and log into cpanel which opens new pages in separate tabs, as it should do. It seems that this problem occurs when I'm logged into cpanel...if i'm logged in then open a new tab for regular browsing of other sites then all links on those sites also open in new tabs.
    Ican't say for sure if it's always only happened when logged into cpanel, but certainly on the last 3 occasions.
    At the moment it's behaving normally so much I can do to check your suggestions, but will try them the next time it occurs.
    One other thing I forgot to mention too....since i've had the new firefox, I've noticed that when I log into yahoo and post comments, I often find myself having to log on for each new post. Everything was fine with old firefox and there have been no other changes to my pc .

  • How can I get a 3.x version back on my MAC so that it will work with my website CMS program?

    I need a 3.x firefox version on my mac so that I can use a website CMS program to update a client's website. Can I have a 3.x version on my mac, as well as the newer 4.0 version?

    The software on the disc is written to run in, and only in, MS Windows. It can't run in the Mac OS. You can either install in on a Windows PC, or install Windows on your Mac and then install the software to run it in Windows.

  • How can I get my old mail account back?

    I f&%€ up and deleted my old mail account after I had added my new one ( I've changed ISP). So all old mails disappeared.
    Is it possible to restore them my self? Or do I have to go to the Mac doctor?
    I'm greatful for all help

    Hi John and thank you.
    I use Mail.
    I deleted the settings for the old account by mistake - I just thought I wouldn't need it anymore after having set up the new one - and suddenly the inbox was empty. A not so nice surprise
    However I managed to find a folder named Mail with a POP - folder in it, in the trash can, which I dragged to my desktop. But I haven't been able to import it.
    I found some useful earlier threads and intructions from some David Gimeno, so I removed the .mbox extension from the INBOX.mbox file.
    BUT still, Mail won't import. It says it doesn't find any valid mbox files.
    The INBOX.mbox is about 12 Mb, so I recconed there would be something in it.

  • How can I get my old text messages back?

    Wanted to get old text messages back or at least see them! ... But how?

    The only way to recover deleted SMS/iMessages is to restore the device to a backup created after the message was sent but before it was deleted.

  • Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. Firefox will not open and I don't have another internet program on my computer. How can I get the profile back?

    Everytime I try to open firefox on my desktop it says "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." So now I cannot open firefox at all and I can't figure out how to get a profile. I just had to delete some programs to gain memory on my system and that is when the problem started. I don't have another internet program

    Hi crmn,
    Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]? There are steps in there that might help you. You might just want to create a new profile and start fresh.
    Hopefully this helps!
