4.0 has too many probs. How can I go back to prev. version?

I just want to go back to the previous version.
Window Washer fails.
Calendar Sync fails.
Many Add Ons do not work.
OK?

I don't see how you can say it's "better in every way". Just look at the amount of complaints about crashes, hanging, etc. I've never had a problem with FF until this version, and now not only does it hang/freeze when I wake my MacBook up from sleep mode, but randomly it will just hang as I'm trying to load a page. It is NOT faster (I have BT Infinity so my speed is as good as you can get around here, and my MacBook Pro is less than a year old with all OS updates), and it is incredibly disturbing and time-wasting when I'm trying to do work from home and constantly having to force-quit FF every half hour or so. It sometimes takes 10 minutes to load a page, if it loads at all!
I say all this not to whine, but because I LOVE FF and want this to work... it's just not. And while I see lots of people complaining about the hanging issue, I don't see any responses except for "tell us the specifics of your issue". Which we have done.

  • When i try to send email on crags lists after i upgraded to 5.0 it does not send out mails anymore. how can i go back to old version. thanks

    how can i go back to old version of firefox. thanks

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

  • How can I get back the other version of itunes?

    Apple wisely leaves a copy of iMovie version 9 installed in the Application folder when you download version 10.

  • I can only use version 4.0 for my online college classes so how can I go back to using version 4.0?

    I upgraded to version 5.0 but am unable to use because it is not supported with my online college platform. How can I go back to using version 4.0? If I do not find a solution I will have to find a new browser.

    I had the same problem (issue with Google Apps and XUL runner etc) of needing to downgrade. To pull it off I went to the main Firefox download page (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/) and followed the link to OTHER SYSTEMS AND LANGUAGES which took me to a page that included a link on the right hand side to download Firefox 3.6.16.
    (The stuff below pertains to Windows. If you are on a different OS your steps will vary)
    To do the actual downgrade (and there may be some other steps that would be wise to take but this is what worked for me) I merely renamed "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" to "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox bad" (in case I want to try troubleshooting the issue later) and then ran the "Firefox Setup 3.6.16.exe" file that downloaded from that link. That solved my problem and I'm back and running 3.6.16.
    In case you don't feel comfortable changing things in your Program Files directory you might try a different approach and try uninstalling via the Control Panel and Add and Remove Programs (or whatever it is called on the version of Windows you are on) and then running the installation file. I didn't go that route so I can't tell you how well that might work.

  • TS3274 All of my calendar history has vanished...how cani get it back?

  • How can I go back to the version before Firefox 4?

    I use a program called RoboForm2Go which stores user names and passwords. I have installed them on a flash drive. I can't use that program with the new FF4, doesn't give me a toolbar for that program. It worked fine when I had the previous version of Firefox and would like to go back to that version.

    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.

  • How can I go back to previous version of firefox cause 4 sucks and I am going to have to go back to internet explorer?

    This version is horrible, and I want to downgrade back to previous version if I can't then I am going back to internet explorer, the search engine is an aberration...just trying to perform a search for hotmail sign in page and had to click on have a dozen responses before I find the one I want where before was right there at the top. If I cannot go back to a previous version, just tell me so I can start using internet explorer, it is horrible as well but at least search engine was not as frustrating to use!!!!

  • How can I get back an older version of a document in Pages from the icloud

    In Pages I thought I could edit down and rename a document and it would keep the original intact - how can I get the original back?

    If you resaved the file and changed its name it is wherever you saved it to.
    If you changed the name of the open file then that is your only copy.
    You can go back to previous versions by various methods. In Pages 5 it is:

  • Too many photos: how can I keep iPhoto lively?

    I have about 2000 photos in the iPhoto library - and already everything works more sluggishly. I suspect there's some way to organise all these files so that they don't hold things up. I wonder how to check this out?

    Oliver
    I was working on the possibility that a corrupt thumbnail might be causing the slowness, but if you're on 512MB of RAM it would make a big difference if you chose to double it.
    What you cannot do is put a chunk of your library apart from the rest, but what you can do is have two (or more) libraries. This can be achieved most simply by using iPhoto Library Manager (http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html) to create and manage the various libraries you create. If at some point later on you wish to merge the various libaries, iPLM will help you do this too.
    Hope this helps

  • HT4061 my Ipad mini has been disabled.  How can I get back in?

    Hello - I down loaded the new ISO 07 software today. I was asked for my passcode...not sure what this meant and tried a few pass words which didn't get me in. Now I realize this must have meant for me to enter my Apple Pass word.  Now when I enter it, my IPad has been disabled.  Can you unlock it for me?  Do you still need the serial number?  I have it, but not sure if you need it.

    a passcode set up feature was added to ios7, even if you didn't have one before. It appears that some users had a passcode applied without knowing it during the installation.

  • How can I get back my prior version of FIrefox browser as the update I downloaded 12-20-11 has NONE of my bookmarks & is ugly to boot.

    Right after updating my Mozilla Firefox yesterday, a screen came up asking if I wanted to update my Firefox browser. It then described benefits of the update. It did not say it would NOT import my existing Bookmarks. After downloading the new browser I had NO bookmarks, or even a Bookmarks tab. Also there was a Yahoo! search tab which I do not want and an extra line of tabs that made the search result window below smaller, which I do not like. I would be happy if I got my prior version of my browser back with all my Bookmarks. Please help.

  • How can I go back to the version before #4. I've had to go to Explorer. I want my Firefox back. Help gratefully accepted.

    I guess this is an operator malfunction.
    I have trouble finding/seeing what I want.
    'File' etc. too dark.
    Keep getting new tabs when I want a new window.
    'Home" is in the wrong place.
    See what I mean?
    Operator malfunction.
    What can I do to make us comfortable again?
    Thanks in advance.
    My husband yelled at me for letting this change occur.
    This is a once in a lifetime happening.
    Now he's sure he wants nothing to do with Firefox at all.
    Alas, I guess we're getting to that age when we want things to stay simple and as we're used to them.

    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.
