Bring back Firefox 3 why fix what isn't broken? I hate this firefox 4

This latest upgrade is the pits, I can't stand all the tabs and the layout. Just let me have my old firefox back, those who want this can have it. In other words I prefer to use IE and I have NOT used it in years, I hate it because of it being microsofts junk. But it is better than this mess.

I also can't stand this new Firefox version. What was wrong with the previous version? Am seriously thinking of finding an alternative browser. Have tried reinstalling the previous version, but it just ended up with no Firefox at all. Any ideas of a good alternative please?

    iTunes 7 is a joke stop trying to fix what isn't broken

    Between being still wet, and energized multiple times, it almost certainly has suffered permanent damage from shorting circuits.  I would just get a replacement at this point and be done with it.
    As mentioned, either an AppleCare+ accidental damage claim, if you can do so, or pay the out of warranty replacement for a like new service unit.

  • Attachments - why fix what wasn't broken!

    Prior to OX Lion, when an email arrived with attachments you were able to select them individually (or more using command-click) and drag them to whichever folder you liked directly from mail. Now all you get is to save them individually or all at once and the process has increased from 1-click (and drag) to as many clicks as it takes to locate the folder you want them saved in ('recent folders' is cool if you only deal with a few folders - we use dozens of folders). We design and produce magazines and receive a lot of attachments and the new mail has increased our workflow by thousands of clicks - VERY DISAPPOINTING.
    You also were able to open attachments directly from mail as well (using right-click), you can't do that anymore either!
    Anyone know a work-around?
    I see THUNDERBIRD still allows you to select and drag attachments.
    Another example of some idiot fixing what ain't broken!

  • Is 4.0 supposed to be an upgrade?Why the attempt to fix what isn't broken.

    If this is your new format you can keep it.I have been using firefox forever and always preferred it.There is not one thing I like or feel is an upgrade in 4.0.I won't list all the problems and issues myself and my family have found as there won't be room to list them all.I have reverted back to 3.6.You really need to rethink this.My biggest complaint is ease of use,which there isn't frankly.

    I also can't stand this new Firefox version. What was wrong with the previous version? Am seriously thinking of finding an alternative browser. Have tried reinstalling the previous version, but it just ended up with no Firefox at all. Any ideas of a good alternative please?

  • Why fix what ain't broken?

    This is not just with Firefox but with software in general and heavily includes browsers. One can't help but notice that upgrading often causes immediate problems with both the program being upgraded and other, many times, unrelated, programs, already installed, causing them to have to be upgraded and/or modified in order to work also. This is not free, in time or money. Windows Vista and ME were the epitome of what can happen with upgrades - lots of expensive problems! MS Office is THE classic example of overkill - too many features.
    Upgrading Firefox is no different. Being forced to upgrade, however, is reprehensible, and this is the way many internet associated programs have done.
    Since I saw a store owner doing his daily business with an extinct late 80s DOS program and he told me "it works fine, does my job as I need it done, why upgrade?"
    There are a lot of new things happening in technology, on the web especially - What if we don't want to access them or take part in them - I have no Facebook or Twitter accounts, for instance. What happened to "customer being right". What happened to our right to choose? (My choices have been to use other products which most of the time are not as good but much less troublesome and "respectful".)

    That doesn't work. Some of the plug-ins have also been turned off and cannot be upgraded. Others require Firefox upgrade. It causes this nuisance tab to become my startup tab and will not allow it to be turned off. I've done a lot of homework on this to find many others who have this same issue, same frustration, in not being able to get rid of it and get back to the older working version.

  • SP1 fixes what isn't broken?

    Nice job Novell! I was working with ZfD 3.2 perfectly fine... without
    problems. One day, I decided I would like to upgrade to ZfD 3.2 SP1
    to
    see if the imaging boot cd perhaps had some new and improved network drivers (it didn't), and, lo and behold, my remote control no longer works! Any time I log into a workstation and do something such as
    launch
    Outlook Express or open the Control Panel, the remote agent freezes.
    Re-
    opening the workstation renders only a blank gray screen, or no
    response
    at all.
    Fantastic! I will be re-installing the original ZfD 3.2 files this
    afternoon after everyone goes home.

    I found the problem. For some reason a graphics file called
    hook16.dll
    was causing the freeze-ups. I deleted the file from all my computers,
    and
    it works fine.
    As for client-side installs, I haven't had the time to run that
    install on
    the 477 computers I am responsible for. Running the client-side
    install
    did not fix the problem when I tested it on an individual workstation.

    Apple, what have you done? 8.01 makes my ipad seems like it is back on dial up. Don't fix what ain't broken, or is your policy break it so we have to fix it?

    Ok Chris..
    Might be a good time to run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairng.
    Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then click First Aid.
    Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, click Repair Disk

    Purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) ON DISK.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • I prefer my Firefox 7 layout How do I get rid of this Firefox 8 and go back top my old browser

    On my old Firefox I had a button that told me when a new email came to my hotmail account I clicked on it and it opened my inbox straight away, It had a check for new emails as well, this has now gone. I had another that I could click on and it showed me the weather and one that opened a calender, money converter, translator etc. The tabs were lower down on top of the main page not just under the File Edit View etc tabs. I want my old browser back . How can I get rid of this Firefox 8 or how do I change it to I had it set up before

    You're welcome

  • Apple, I have an iPhone 5 and the purple tint in pictures is real and is going to be the most costly mistake to have changed the lens to a sapphire crystal lens. This is HUGE! Why did you fix what is not broken?

    Why, because some clumsy, careless humans couldn't stop scratching a less that 1/4 inch wide lens?  That is no reason for replacing the lens and pandering to their inability to handle advanced technology is not going to push the technology forward. Tossing out cheap cases like you did for the imagined iPhone 4 antenna "problem" will not fix this VERY real problem. I have been a loyal customer since 2005 and this, as stated in the title, could be your most costly mistake. Either your software engineers are going to have to compensate for the purple tint appearing in photos or you're going to sacrifice massive profits to physically replace the lens in every iPhone 5 you have sold and continue to sell. I've read that Apple customer service has tried to sweep this away by falsely claiming that the purple tint is "normal". It is absolutely not normal by any stretch of the imagination. Do not be silent Apple customers! Let the complaints pour like Niagara Falls or settle for the garbage that has been sold.
    My former iPhone 4 took better pics.
    I hope Apple didn't do the same with the pending iPad mini or this could turn into a maelstrom that even Steve Jobs would not have tolerated.
    Signed,
    Extremely dissapointed

    It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
    Symptoms
    A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
    Resolution
    Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.

  • Itunes is on an external Hard drive,  but it keeps copying my movies back.  Why and what can I do to stop it?

    I have a Mac mini purchased in 2010,  i have recently purchased MacTV  which is great and works well.  Because I had so many movies and music I moved my iteunes to its own external hard drive.  I keep getting the Start up disk full warning,  which was why I moved both iphotos and itunes to external disks.  but I still get the message, now and then.  for instance last night it said I only had about 7gig left.  I shut down the computer and thought I'll deal with that tomorrow,  when I turned on computer today there was over 70gig available...  I don't understand what is happening.  I'm using iflicks, and I did discover that iflicks kept a copy of files on my hard drive and I've fixed that I think.  This morning I discovered all my movies sitting in my music folder on my hard drive.  i'm just getting very confused about what my computer is doing without my knowledge.

    You will have to engage a split library which means you will have to start answering questions on this forum because you will need to learn a lot about how iTunes works in order not that have a big mess at the end of it all.  It also won't be easy when the time comes to relocate it all to different drives.
    You can go to advanced preferences and turn off organize media and copy to items to media folder when adding items to library.  Next read about how to selectively consolidate items to the external drive.

    "...selected the new tracks directly in iTunes, Control-clicked on the selection, and saw that now you can consolidate selected items." - http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090919000326840
    Remember that when you start iTunes without the external drive turned on iTunes will present you with a bunch of broken links.  If you have automatic downloads enabled with iCloud you may have to turn that off to prevent iTunes from repopulating your drive trying to deal with those "missing" tracks.
    If you add tracks in bunches to iTunes and want them to go to different media folders you will need to either add them by holding down the option key while dragging if the desired media folder is not the one set in preferences, or by changing the media folder in preferences.  Changing media folder preferences only applies to new files added, not old ones.
    Okay, I am going to stop typing because you might just reply to me, "Oh, okay, forget it," and I don't need the exercise.

  • Firmware fun - why fix what ain't broke? Who pays?

    Recently my MacBook failed to recognise a portable Lacie firewire drive. My G5 PowerPC continues to recognise it. The drive is in excellent condition, has operated problem-free for many years and continue to work properly.
    After much testing (and posting to another part of this discussion forum) the general consensus seemed to be that it was likely to be a firmware issue.
    I wrote to the vendors: "The drive was purchased in 2002. That may sound 'old' to you, but it's in excellent condition, been well looked-after, and continues to perform perfectly. A pretty good ad for a product, no?"
    The vendors said, "Having checked with your device unfortunately we no longer have any updates for it... It is possible that updates would have been the issue here as they would provide additional support for newer versions of Windows and Mac OS including more support for firewire and USB."
    Does anyone know what the legal position is here? I have a perfectly good product that can no longer be used in the usual way. Do the vendors have a responsibility in storing firmware their clients may need in order to use their products? Or is it the responsibility of the computer vendors to ensure that their customers can continue to access the 3rd party devices they customarily use with the computer?
    The drive I purchased has been made redundant through no fault of my own. Can I ask the drive vendors to replace it?
    iHope

    JoeyR, thanks for your comments.

    If your drive is being recognized by another machine, I can't see the firmware being the cause for it not working with your MacBook.
    The (Intel) MacBook doesn't recognise, the (PPC) G5 does.... Today the vendor wrote, saying there has never been a firmware update for this particular drive.
    When you say "recently my MacBook failed to recognize..." do you mean that it did work at some point on your MacBook or it never did?
    It's always been recognized by the MacBook until recently.
    Does it just not mount the drive or does it not see it at all? Meaning if you go into Disk Utility, can you see the drive there?
    Disk Utility doesn't see it.
    If you have any data on that external drive that you don't have stored elsewhere, you'll want to be sure it is backed up before the drive fails.
    The FW external drive is used in my workflow, but not for archiving.
    The issue began after installing the latest Apple security update (for Intel computers only). As I asked at the start, who pays for the fact that this device is no longer fully available to me?

  • What I would call "body" copy is appearing in an unreadable script font on web pages and in emails since upgrading to Firefox 6.0, what can I do to resolve this?

    Since upgrading to Firefox 6.0, some copy is appearing in a script font that is really difficult to read. I first noticed it in the body of an email I received, but then saw it on some web sites I was visiting. It also appears when I am typing.
    I am on a Mac.

    Also, here is what I've done so far to try and troubleshoot it...
    I checked other browsers on my computer and it's not happening, I went through and checked for corrupt fonts on my computer, I double checked my font settings in Firefox prefs, I did a google search and attempted all the things I saw listed as potential fixes and nothing is working.

  • Droid DNA was a good phone - HTC please fix what you have broken

    I just got the latest update and I really don't care for the new interface.  I have talked to Verizon and HTC and both say the only way to get the older version is to root the phone which will take it out of warranty.   Not that I really care about the warranty however I will need to spend more time than I care to just go back to a version that worked properly.   Easier to just get a new phone, granted I will need to learn the new phone but at least it will be an upgrade so the investment of my time will seem worth it. 
    What upsets me the most is they will not let me go back to my previous version.  I would be perfectly happy with the version I was running before.  It had it's issues but I was used to them.  The latest upgrade has changed things that I used daily for fixes that I rarely or never use.  For example, the landscape keyboard is broken, I cannot see the P and L keys.  The person at HTC recommended I find another keyboard online and download it.  Not the answer I expected from the manufacturer but it does help me make a decision.
    I was planning on getting the HTC One next but after this I will be getting another phone (sooner than planned) and it will not be a phone from HTC.   It may not even be an Android phone, maybe Windows 8.  I have heard the latest iPhone upgrade was subpar as well.
