Please change the view in the top sites, the 6.1 upgrade has reverted back to a plain two-dimensional view, which is a little dated. Can I revert back to an older version via my time capsule save? C'mon Apple upgrades supposed to leap into the future not the past. :-(

Hello Michael.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:

In any case, 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 is not disappears 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.
Also, if you want to use an older version of Firefox, please use Firefox 3.5.11. Only versions 3.5.11 and 3.6.8 are supported, and both contain all the latest security fixes. Using any other version is unsafe and not recommended. -
I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.
I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet. -

Not unless you saved a copy of the old iPhoto Library. Otherwise, you can't go back.

Can I go back to an older version of iTunes that'll support both my iPhone 4S w/iOS6 and my 2009 MacBook running Leapord 10.5.8? I simply want everything to work the way it had been forever until recently. However, I can't imagine Apple would intentionally make their own products obsolete by rendering them useless through a software "upgrade." My MacBook is only 3 yrs old so I feel like I am simply missing 1 piece to this puzzle in order for things to start working again. I have my MacBook, iPod and iPhone 4S all set up to install updates automatically so if I need to uninstall certain updates and revert back to ones that work will that even be an option? Thanks
The only version of iTunes which will support both is version 10.6.3.

Just updated to 8 & now I can not open any web pages as well as firefox will not close out, it still running in the background after browser was closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled as well as disabled add-ons and plugins nothing has changed, can I downgrade back to on older version?
See "Hang at exit":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I loved the original older operating system that came with my I PAD. Accidently when I was downloading music from my lap top on I tunes, I tunes automatically upgraded my IPAD before downloading the music. I hate this new 7.04 it is horrible. I can not figure out how to clear the icons like with my older version, when I used to hold down the start button thing , I would see the icons, hold my finger down on one of them until an x appeared and then theyall got cleared. Now this does not work, they open the program instead. I hate this new one. Can I go back to the older one I had that I liked so much. Help
Sorry, downgrading is not supported.

Give me a break with the "WTF adoble", we don't need that kind of language.
The stars and thumbnail size are user-interface elements which you can turn on or off. Ctrl-J lets you change what is and is not seen in the Grid, you can turn on whatever you want, including the stars by checking Show Rating Footer.
The slider making the thumbnails bigger can be found by turning on the Toolbar (press T) and then hit the down arrow at the right end of the toolbar and select Thumbnail size. -
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!You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

Can you revert back to an older version of I tunes?
I have OS X 10.4 and tried to download the latest version of Itunes. Under system requirements, I thought it said you must have OSX 3.9 or later . . .so I downloaded it. Now when I try to open I tunes on my computer it says "you must have OS X 4.2 or later, for info an upgrading you operating system . . . " So my questions are, why did it let me down load I tunes 7.2 if my system did not meet the requirements and how do I get back to an older version? I have tried to download I tunes 6 but everytime I click to install it just says there is nothing to install. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Lingar,
I think Chris was looking for your specific update number of your OS X installation.
In other words, mine (and Chris's) is 10.4.10. The ".10" after the "4" indicates which update to Mac OS X we have installed.
Choose "About This Mac" from the Apple logo in the menu bar and see what it says next to Version.
iTunes 7.3.2 current requirements:
Macintosh Requirements
* Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later or Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later required for iTunes
* Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later required for iPhone
* 500MHz G3 processor or better
* QuickTime 6.5.2 or later
* 256MB RAM
* Combo/Super Drive to burn CDs
* Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming
music
Additional Video Requirements
* Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
* 1 GHz G4 processor or better
* QuickTime 7.1.6 or later
* 16MB video RAM
As long as your OS is 10.4.7 or above, you meet the necessary OS requirements for iTunes 7.3.2.
But as Chris suggested to another poster, it's probably a good idea to update your OS to the most current version. Download the 10.4.10 Combo updater from http://www.apple.com/support/downloadshttp://www.apple.com/support/downloads and install.
It's also a good idea to repair permissions following the OS update.

I should have been warned that McAfee Site Adviser would no longer be available with this new version, especially since I paid '''hard earned''' money to McAfee to have this feature. I would not have downloaded this new version had I known ahead of time.
Can I revert back to 3.6?Use WOT (web of trust):
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wot-safe-browsing-tool/
Its a way better alternative to McAfee site advisor simply because its open to everyone and supports every browser. Trust me downgrading to 3 is not worth the benefits of McAfee.

I recently updated from Firefox 3.6.3 to 3.6.8. I skipped previous updates because of similar problem I'm experiencing now however now it is worse. Immediately after installation, messages windows pop up. The FIRST window says: “Firefox has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
The SECOND window (with a red circle surround a white ‘X’) says: “firefox.exe – Unable to Locate Component. This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
The THIRD window is called the “Mozilla Crash Reporter. We’re Sorry. Firefox has a problem and crashed…” where it gives me the option of submitting a report and restarting (which I have done).
The problem happened during previous attempted updates which is why I tend to avoid Firefox updates until today. However, in the past all I would do is manually power off the computer and restart the computer. Firefox never completed the installation so I was able to use the older version of Firefox.
Now I cannot do that because Firefox is updated to 3.6.8 which refuses to open. How can this problem get fixed? I am not “tech savvy” but loyal to Firefox (and for now I have no access to all my bookmarks).
Thank you.

I have installed Firefox 5.0 but this version does not work with some of my add-ons.
There are no new versions of the add-ons yet.
I want to uninstall Firefox 5.0 and install an older version of Firefox.
How do I do that?The latest versions of Firefox require at least Mac OS X 10.5 and an Intel processor. You can revert to Firefox 3.6.xx for Mac 10.4 by downloading the installer from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and now I am having problems. Everything is running very, very slow. My computer is old and probably does not have the capacity to fun 4.0 effectively. I would like to return to older Firefox 3.
How can I do this.You're trying to go through a proxy which isn't working. Assuming you don't normally use a proxy to connect to the internet, do this:
Tools, options, advanced, connection settings, set no proxy.
Causes for this may include anything which monitors or forwards newtork traffic on your computer (tools like fiddler2 or tor). It may also be that you are on a network which requires a proxy to access the intenet (some corporate and university networks do this).
