With 3.6 and earlier, one website I use would have a "frame" around thumbnails which would go away once I accessed it. Aftwer 4.0, no frame. Frames still there with IE. Is there a setting where I can get them back with the newer versions of Firefox?

Pretty much what I asked above. Obviously there was a change between 3.6 and 4.0 that is causing this.
These black "frames" around the thumbnails are very handy as they let me know which ones have been accessed and which have not. Once I would click on the thumbnail, the "frame" around it would disappear. I could come back weeks later and tell what had been accessed and what hadn't.
I discovered this problem this spring when I upgraded to 4.0 in my laptop. I kept "nursing" the 3.6 in my desktop as I did not want to lose that feature. The other night I tried to update my 3.6 and, unfortunately, I got force-fed 6.0.
Anyhow, it has to be something you changed when 4.0 was brought out - and has stayed changed in 5.0 and 6.0. As noted above, the frames are still there if I go to the site with Internet Explorer. Sure love to find a way to get this feature back with Firefox!

Can I go back to the old version of Firefox?

I am trying to pin-point the cause of problems I am having with my basic one-page website. It does not allow me to upload images. The hosting agent says I have a virus. I did the scan and cleaned up the desktop but the problem remains. I am suspicious of the Firefox update because of the warning it gave during its installation that some "plug-ins" would not function or be available until a later time (or something to that effect). What was that all about and could it affect my website? Can I go back to the old version of Firefox? Maybe I could test if this is a part of the problem.

Ihave used Firefox for years with great success. But since I updated to Firefox 4.0.1, it has become almost unusable. It is agonizingly slow for me, and crashes constantly. Can I go back to the previous version of Firefox?

I am using windows XP, and have a DSL connection that is not very fast. I think the new version of Firefox may be too complex and have too many things going on for my connection.
The last version worked flawlessly. I had no problems until updating to Firefox 4.0.1, but now I can barely use it.

Recently, I updated to Firefox 4.0.1, and the new version disabled several of my programs, including my anti-virus. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox?

I want to go back to the previous version of Firefox, because the new version (4.0.1 I think) that I downloaded disabled several of my programs, including my anti-virus program, because they were incompatible with the new version of Firefox. How do I get back to the previous version of Firefox and re-enable the disabled programs?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

I use the Norton toolbar feature that manages all my passwords. How can I go back to the former version of Firefox since 4 is not compatible?

How can I go back to a former version of Firefox?

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
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

Cannot use email program in ANGEL a CMS program. Can I switch back to the older version o Firefox?

I teach with a CMS program called ANGEL which is produced by BlackBoard. When I try to email students using ANGEL email I get an error message about script
Warning Unresponsive script:
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: https://angel.msu.edu/jscript/yahoo/utilities/utilities.js:9. Then if I click continue, it just does nothing, just goes into holding pattern. If I click stop script, it says the message was sent, but it doesn't actually send. I use a mac.
I desparately need to use this program. Can I please go back to the older version of Firefox. I believe the problem is with ANGEL, but I have no choice in that as the university sponsors it. Please Help!

I used to be able to upload pictures to my photobucket account, that no longer works, can I go back to the old version of Firefox, or will this be fixed?

the add on is still available on photobucket, but not for 4.0, it means having to download, then upload, will the feature be redone so that it works with the new version?

HT201302 How do i get photos from my old iphone saved on a flashdrive to upload to itunes so that i can get them back on my new iphone?

So I needed to get a new iphone because my old one had a broken lock button and it was in my warranty that i could get a new one for free so i did. Knowing that, before the switch of phones i downloaded all of my pictures and videos onto my dell laptop under windows photo gallery thinking that i could transfer them back onto my new iphone once i got it. I thought that i knew how to do this but i guess i dont. i uploaded all of the photos from my laptop onto a new flashdrive i just bought hoping that i could some how transfer the photos to my desktop computer that has itunes on it. i was also unsuccessful in doing this so now i have no idea what to do! please help!

You need to put the folder of pictures somewhere on the computer that contains iTunes. After connecting the phone to the computer, selecting the phone and looking in iTunes, go to the Photos tab and select these photos and sync.

I'm having trouble trying to upgrade to verison 4.0. How can I revert back to the latest version of Firefox 3.6?

I deleted the latest version of Firefox 3.6 in order to try to download Firefox version 4.0. The download of version 4.0 was unsuccessful, probably because I have an old iBook G4 (10.4.11). How can I reinstall/download the most recent version of Firefox 3.6?

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

When we installed Firefox 4.0, found it is not compatible with Trend Micro. How can I go back to the older version of Firefox until Trend builds a compatible version??

On add-ons manager, I see that Trend Micro NSC Firefox Extention 6.5.0.1234 is not compatible with Firefox 4.0.1. I have contacted Trend and been told that their builders have not yet created a product that is compatible. I think this means that I should revert to an older version of Firefox until my internet security is updated. How do I do this? I'm clueless. :) Or, is there a better solution?

Ever since upgrading to Firefox 4, my webpages load much much slower. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox and keep my bookmarks, etc.?

I don't have any details. The Question explains it all. We just upgraded from 1.5 Mbps to 18 Mbps download speed and webpages opened really quick until I downloaded and installed Firefox 4. I have Internet Explorer 9, but I do not use it. I would just like to go back to the most current previous version of Firefox and keep my settings and bookmarks to see if webpages still load as slow as they are loading now. If so, then it's not the browser and I'll have to troubleshoot.

You can download Firefox 3.6 from this page:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
However, I'm not sure of the best procedure for removing Firefox 4. You might want to search these forums a bit for advice so you don't lose Bookmarks and other settings.

Have problems staying connected since I downloaded latest version... also don't like the history drop down menu now. I use yahoo because its what came with my DSL from Verizon. Can I go back to the other version of Firefox or can this be fixed?

I can run about an hour and then it hangs up. Doesn't seem to depend on what website or program I am running. I walk away to change the laundry and come back and its hung. In the middle of a game on facebook, it hangs. Didn't have this problem with the version I used before. I have always liked Firefox and have used for a number of years. Don't want to change if it can be fixed.

You should be able to have NoSquint working properly if you use an extension to restore the Add-on toolbar.

I am having to use IE to access your site to send you a question about why Firefox is not loading even your own home page? Also can i go back to the previous version of Firefox, as this version (4.0) has a huge number of problems?

It started out as once in a while the page would load, but be blank. Now it is nearly every website I attempt to go shows it loads the page, as the address is listed in the top. it shows the page name in the tab, but the page is blank.
As I said in my question, I am having to contact you on IE, because Firefox won't load it's own pages.
So that you know, it had been years snce I used IE, Since loading 4.0 it has become a daily event.

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

With 3.6 and earlier, one website I use would have a "frame" around thumbnails which would go away once I accessed it. Aftwer 4.0, no frame. Frames still there with IE. Is there a setting where I can get them back with the newer versions of Firefox?
