Firefox 4 wont even start up now. how do i uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version

want to know how to uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version. also where to get download of previous version

Your problem is caused by the Ask Toolbar which you have installed. There are compatibility issues between Ask and Firefox at the moment.
Please do the following to ensure a clean installation.<br><br>
#Use Internet Explorer to download Firefox 4.0.1 from this link: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and choose "'''Save'''" when you see the prompt. Then save it to your desktop. ''Do not choose "Run"''.<br><br>
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br>
Next, click the Firefox button and go to Add-ons, then Extensions. Find the Ask Toolbar in there and click "Remove".
If you would still prefer to use the previous secure version, use this download link instead of the one to v4.0.1: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] Otherwise the installation procedure and removal of the Ask Toolbar is the same.

  • How Do I Remove Flash 11 and install previous version?

    Hi Everyone,
    While Flash Player 11 seems to work for me with most things (e.g. YouTube, most news and video sites, etc),  I find that it is crashing all the time when playing browser based games that use flash.
    I was over on Yahoo's website http://games.yahoo.com/free-games/ and found that it kept crashing on this page or crashing when trying to load any of the games listed on that page.
    Given these problems (and judging by the numerous posts on this forum... it looks like there are many issues with version 11), how can I uninstall Adobe Flash 11 and restore it back to version 10, x, x, x ?? 
    (Note: I am using x's just because I don't remember exactly what the previous version of Flash was)

  • How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

    There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
    large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
    end of the burned DVD.
    In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
    end of burned projects.
    This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
    I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
    work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
    Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
    but the system will not let me.
    Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
    components and install iLife '06?
    Thanks

    I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

  • How can i uninstall foxfire 4 to the previous version? many things are naot compatible with foxfire 4 = help??

    after installing firefox 4, several things stopped working, i.e. colorful tabs 4.6.5 is disabled and incompatible with firefox 4; HP Smart Web Printing is incompatible with firefox 4; Oberon Gamebar is incompatible with firefox 4; and webstots tolbar is incompatible with firefox 4. Is it possible to install a previous version of firefox so that my programs work again? Also, when I receive email from some people, and print it, it prints out very strange, not in a normal format. This didn't happen before.

    See [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]]
    If you do uninstall firefox 4 take care NOT to use the option that removes settings, that will remove all your profile information for ALL installed versions of firefox, including all your bookmarks and passwords.

  • How to uninstall QT 7.1.5 and install previous version

    Can someone advise how to uninstall new version of QuickTime 7.1.5 and install a previous version (7.1.3). The new version seems to have issues (I have software that no longer plays back video... and was working fine before new version).
    Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Problems with QT 7.1.5 are not limited to Turbo Tax or to particular versions of OSX. If you read the website Macfixit, you will find that many people with many different programmes and system versions are having serious problems with this update of QT, including a stall on the update itself. I phoned tech services in Canada under my AppleCare programme and reached them this morning (March 11) and the technician I spoke with had NO KNOWLEDGE of the many many problems with this updater. I told him that APPLE should immediately remove it from circulation until it is fixed. He said he would report it but he was not enthusiastic nor did he sound overly concerned so I don't know that he will. I also asked for advice about uninstalling 7.1.5 and the only sure thing he could recommend was to re-install the entire system. Not a satisfactory option. But if you are interested, go to Macfixit.com and look for their document on uninstalling it. But as for APPLE, I suggest that everyone having problems after installing 7.1.5 OR with the downloading itself phone APPLE and demand that they pull 7.1.5 from circulation AND provide us, on their website, with their instructions about uninstalling it. This kind of negligence has become too typical of APPLE of late - not the old style APPLe that I came to love and depend upon - and only if we demand more responsibility from them do we have any hope of things changing for the better.

  • How do I cancel outdated protection and install new version?

    I have firefox setup 3.6.13 installed on my computer, I think.
    A warning came up to update so I would have new and better protection. When I tried to install the new version it would not install because it said I have a version already running
    and I am supposed to uninstall the old version first. I don't know how to do that. I am NOT computer savvy! :(
    Don't know what listed plug-ins are for either.

  • How do I uninstall Garageband 02 and install Garageband 08?

    I just bought a second mini (used) that has Garageband 02 on it, and need to get Garageband 08 on it instead. I have the disks that came with my first mini. How do I get Garageband 02 out of the used mini and Garageband 08 on it? The two disks I have don't say which has iLife on them. Thanks.

    well, I tried using disk 2 and the message was "insert disk 1", which gives me the message that I can't install the software on that computer. I sure was hoping disk 2 would work. Have spent too much time on this.

  • How can I cancel iTunes 10 and open previous version of iTunes?

    Still trying to find an answer with no results at all so far.  SO, let's try again.  I upgraded to iTunes 10 from my older version of iTunes 9, which I found out was so much better for me than the 10 version.  I just want to cancel the 10 version and go back to the older version.  The main reason is because I listen to the radio in iTunes while working on my computer, and while working the sound is so horrible, it sounds like a lot of rumble-jumble any time I move the mouse, or something changes on the screen, any kind of movement on the screen can be heard on the radio.  I have asked several times if there is a solution to this problem, can it be repaired on iTunes 10 version,or can I just remove iTunes10 version and reclaim the older version of iTunes that I used in the past. 
    <Email Edited By Host> 

    Turning off the auto-renew does not cancel the service. To actually cancel, or turn off the service, you need to contact iTunes Store support. What the instructions are are getting is telling you to do is to cancel the auto-renew. You can accomplish that by, in iTunes:
    1. Pull down the Store menu and select "view account."
    2. Enter your credentials when prompted.
    3. In the middle of the page click the hightlight button:

  • Itunes wont even start up

    I finally fixed the installer error for itunes 5.1 and now it wont even start up can anybody help me out!!!!

    Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
    R.O:
    "Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
    I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
    Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

  • I installed Firefox (10) sync on my laptop instead of my desktop. How do I uninstall, so I may install on my main computer? In tools the only sync option is "sync now."

    Question
    I installed Firefox (10) sync on my laptop instead of my desktop. How do I uninstall, so I may install on my main computer? In tools the only sync option is "sync now."

    It won't let me install it on the other computer as a new account, saying that my address is already in use (on the small one) -- that is the crux of the problem.
    When I try to set it up as a not-new account (clicking that I already have an account), there are different problems.
    Am I right in assuming it needs to be installed on the main computer first (so that the smaller one doesn't wipe out the (more extensive) stuff on the main computer as they sync? I would love to be able to uninstall it on the small one, and start from the beginning on the big one.

    I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)."  My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac?  Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.
