Where can I download a previous version of Firefox? 3.6.8 is sluggish and s-l-o-w on Vista 64

Firefox stalls for a good 10 to 20 seconds every time it loads a page. I get constant "Not Responding" error messages. This version has nowhere near the speed and responsiveness of previous versions. It is so bad I have had to go back to Internet Explorer.

Hello there.
You can download version 3.5.11 [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html here]. Apart from 3.6.8, 3.5.11 is the only currently supported version of Firefox. If you don't want to use the former, please use the later for maximum security.
That said, if you're having a problem with 3.6.8, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Where can I download a previous version of Firefox?

    I need an older version of Firefox. The new version does not support an add on that I need for everyday use.
    I need RoboForm Toolbar in Firefox.
    Firefox Version is 31.0
    RoboForm Version is 7.9.8.5
    This worked fine in previous versions.
    I tried to locate a previous version from you support links but all I saw was a whole lot of Folders. I need a link to an earlier version please.

    Isn't recommended use old versions because they have security issues. If you need an old version to use for a short period of time. try use a portable version.

  • 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 download a previous version of firefox? for mac

    I am a gov employee and only the older versions of firefox are compatible with our fedtraveler website. They list we must use firefox 3.0, 3.5, 3.6, 4.o, 5.0, 6.0, or 7.0 (for Mac osx Lion) only. The latest version 9.0 either does not work or is blocked for security reasons. I cannot find any of the older versions to download. Need help

    Hey Marco99,
    Sorry to hear about this limitation. There are a lot of benefits to running the latest version of Firefox.
    If you want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Where can i download the previous version?

    downloaded the latest, but some add ons are not available yet. I already deleted the old version. Where can go to download one?

    All back-copies are available here:
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/
    It's a bit daunting at first sight, but select the version you want, your platform (mac/linux/linux-64-bit/windows) and your language and you'll be shown the installer to download. I'd right-click, use "save link as", download it, then double-click (or do whatever your OS needs) the downloaded file to open or run it and extract/install Thunderbird.
    Which particular add-ons are you having trouble with? I downloaded 24.5 tonight and all of my (too) many add-ons seem fine with it.

  • Where can I download a previous version of the HP Universal Print driver (5.4) for XP/2003?

    I have tried the support and drivers page but can only find 5.5
    Anyone know if HP posts them somewhere? 

    I did some checking and I too was only able to find the most recent UPD 5.5 drivers.
    The UDP 5.5 driver includes new updates and several bug fixes from previous versions.

    You may find better results posting your question in the Business Support Forums under the  Print Servers, Network Storage & Web Jetadmin  or  Software threads. Hopefully, someone has a copy of the older UPD 5.4 drivers.

  • Where can I download a new version of Firefox that does NOT automatically install in Croatian language

    I'm new to Firefox. I specifically went to an English download page and downloaded the latest Firefox in English. I installed it, and it automatically changed to Croatian, where I live, without any warning.
    Then I searched for an option to change it back to English and didn't find it, so I uninstalled it and went back to an older version of Firefox, that I new was in English.
    Now, of course, the program is warning me that there is un update, but I'm affraid to install it so that it doesn't automatically change to Croatian again.

    You may still have a Croatian language pack installed if you didn't uninstall a previously installed Croatian version and checked the Firefox program folder for remnant leftover files.
    * "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome"
    If you download the full en-US version and install that version then the language shouldn't change.

  • Where can I download a full version of Firefox that does not require internet access for installation?

    I have a computer which needs Firefox but it does not have internet access. Could I download a full stand alone version of Firefox, copy it to a USB memory stick, and install it from there?

    Yes, the Firefox download is complete - no need for a internet connection for installation.

  • Where can i find a previous version of firefox?

    this firefox 4 is working horrible for me. web pages take forever to load and just generally runs extremely slow. before 3.6 used 450mb of ram and about 10% of cpu. ff 4 uses 900mb and 62% of cpu speed. i want to rollback to a previous version.

    Isn't recommended use old versions because they have security issues. If you need an old version to use for a short period of time. try use a portable version.

  • Where can I download a previous version of Safari?

    Updated to 3,1 this morning, and the loss of shift key functionality in Gmail is a huge problem right now. I needed to spend the say sending out resumes in order to get a job, and it's a bit hard to make a good impression if I can't capitalize letters. Anyone know where I can find the last version of Safari, prior to 3.1? Thanks.

    Hello prof:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Did you notice the BETA notation with the Safari 3 program? IMHO, Apple should have never released Beta software to the general public. Having said that, it is "normal" to have bugs in Beta software. Perhaps it should have a banner saying "use at your own risk."
    You could do an archive and install to restore everything:

    You would, of course, have to update OS X from there.
