Firefox opens, but it fails to find URL's. Can I get the older version?

I download FF 4 and it simply doesn't work. It opens, but when I click on a link or put in a URL nothing happens. I uninstalled it.

There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

HT1199 Newer version of iTunes will not open. My music is gone. How can I get the older version back?

My "newer version" of itunes will not open. How can I either get it to open or get the older version which worked fine?

Restore the backup before you installed.
If you didn't make a backup, at very minimum make sure your Music library isn't compromised by locating the folder you selected the music to be in (usually in Users -> yourname -> Music) and make sure there are several MB of data there by clicking once on the folder, and selecting Get Info from the File menu in the Finder.
If you can't find it, try to locate parts of track names with Find Any File.
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
then determine which parent file of the .mp3 or .mpa files you have contains all of the music files by getting info under each previous folder in the folder tree.
Once you determine which folder contains all your music, back it up using the Finder, or backup the entire hard drive using cloning software at least to two different drives or two complete copies on DVDs:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
You'll then want to erase and install 10.6 from the system installer you used to put 10.6 on your Mac, and run the combo 10.6.8 updater and apply the necessary security updates:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3261
Then you can install older versions of iTunes for the Mac from here, once you determine which version is compatible with 10.6.8 that you liked before by first checking which version is compatible with what you need:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_version_history
Once you know that, if you can't find it with Google, let us know and maybe one of us can help. Lastly reload your music in your music folder, and your other applications.

I downloaded by accident a later version of firefox than my Mac will run - 4.0.1. How can I get the older version back?

I have a Mac OS 10.4.11. I had a glitch while I was trying to register to a new WordPress and that site sent me to Firefox and told me to download. Before checking compatibility with my operating system, I download and put it in my applications folder. When I tried to open Firefox, I got a message saying 4.0.1 wasn't compatible with my computer.
I NEED THE OLDER VERSION OF FIREFOX compatible with my Mac. PLEASE SEND IT TO ME. Thanks.

You can download Firefox 3.6 here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Before reinstalling it, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back?

I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back? It said my tool bars are not compatible. I want them back.

That is the new appearance Firefox 4 and now Firefox 5, you can easily put things back because Firefox is customizable.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

I have a problem with my Internet Security and the new Firefox, where can I get the previous version which I had before my system crashed?

Hi I use CA Internet Security Suite which checks ALL pages and searches, but it does not work with this version, also I wish to use Goggle Toolbar which ALSO does not work with this version where can I get the previous version? As my harddrive crashed I have had to install windows 7 and this version doesn't seem to allow me to change my homepage, why is this? Cheers Ernest

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Can i get an older version of firefox for my android device the site i need to access only supports up to 3.6

I need to gain access to a work web site that does not yet support firefox 4.0 can I get an older version for my android device

Sorry, Firefox 4 is the first version that was developed for Android. But you can install this add-on and then set your "User Agent" preference to "desktop Firefox" to make web sites think you are using Firefox 3.6:

Can i get an older version of firefox

the work web site i need to access does not yet support firefox 4.0 only 3.6 can i get an older version for my android tablet

Firefox 4 is the first version that was developed for Android.
But if you install this add-on and then set your "User-Agent" preference to "Desktop Firefox" then Firefox 4 for Android will pretend to be Firefox 3.6 for desktop:
https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/phony/
This ''might'' be enough to get the web site to work.

You can force 5.0 "compatibility" with the "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Compatibility Reporter]" extension, or with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility extensions.checkCompatibility] using about:addons.
For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox

:or with the latest of version 3

When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

I have firefox 4 Beta installed on my computer and I can't get the new Firefox 4 to install, so some of the functions don't work,such as dropdowns on Google Toolbar? How can I fix this?

I installed Firefox 4 beta when it was available as a tester before Firefox 4 was released, so I had two versions of Firefox on my computer. When Firefox 4 was released this week, I installed it and it replaced Firefox 3.6.15. For some reason it seems it didn't install the full version of Firefox 4, instead it's a similar version to the Beta version. For example, the drop down on Google search doesn't work when you click on an item in the drop down. Also the orange button that is supposed to replace the buttons on the top left of the browser is not there. It still has the 8 buttons, ie File, Edit, etc. How can I get the full version to install on my computer? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and I get the same result. My computer runs Windows XP Media center Edition OS. Please advise me on how to fix this. Thanks.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
I also have a question. Have you ever been able to access these sites from the Firefox on that computer?

I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8 it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
