Firefox updated itself to 3.5.14; now super slow; I want to revert

I'm on a mac ibook g4. I'm guessing the newest version of Firefox doesn't support a computer this old. I didn't want to update. It just did it.
Everything on my computer is suddenly slower, but especially Firefox.
How do I get back to the version I was using? Unfortunately, I don't even know what version it was. I've been declining to update for a while now.

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

    microsoft has automatically updated itself on my pc and now firefox wont work

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • Why does firefox update itself although the update setting is deactivated ?

    I've seen that firefox updates itself although it is deactivated via settins dialog. This happens since i have installed firefox in June 2014 beginning with version 30.x. Now I've firefox 32.0.2.
    I'll do updates only when i give the command update manually !
    Therefore i ask the question and hope somebody can give an answer an describe this behaviour.

  • After Firefox updated itself to 3.6.12 I lost sound regarding all facebook applications

    after Firefox updated itself to 3.6.12 I lost sound regarding all facebook applications and videos. I have installed the latest flash and that doesn't solve the problem

    After Firefox updated to 3.6.12, my homepage stated that I did not have the Flash Player installed. The latest player was installed, but I uninstalled and attempted to re-install. The installation process worked, but the Adobe Flash banner on their page does not Flash like when a proper install occurs. The Adobe DLM add on will not allow me to change options on Firefox Addon page. Now Flash content on homepage will not play, and I am forced to use IE to view content.

  • Why does firefox update itself even when i tell it not to? Everytime it updates itself it messes up and crashes, make it stop. I like firefox but if I keep having to unistall and reinstall it ever month to every other month I am going to be done with it

    Fire Fox updates itself even after I tell it not to. The new version it updates to crashes, adobe flash player doesn't work on it and it takes forever to load when it does work. I have used fire fox for years now but if this keeps up I will find something else to use.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == When you came out with fire fox 6.6 or whatever

    I also have this problem of Firefox updating by itself even when I turn off auto-update.
    For whatever reason, there are situations where you do not want to update or download a large file, because you're working offline, have a slow connection, or have a very low download allowance etc. Usually the update doesn't work and cause Firefox to crash. After that it cannot be started again. This is with Firefox Portable but I think I've had this problem the normal Firefox. With the portable version I can just back up a single folder but it is still time wasting and annoying.
    I've noticed that when I start Firefox with auto-update turned off, it changes the options to auto-update, it also does this periodically. So every time I start Firefox I have to turn off auto-update, and I have to do this from to time because Firefox will by itself turn back on the auto-update.

  • Firefox updated itself while I was away and I've lost all my addons and info (on Quick Note for example). How can I rectify this? It's important and I'm very cross.

    I am on a Mac laptop and never shutdown, just close the lid and put it to sleep. Today when I came back, I saw that only the skin was the same: all my add-on icons have disappeared (for example evernote clipper, session manager, paypal, etc etc - and very importantly Quick Note (where I had a lot of passwords and for example the very specific way to write my credit card address so it will be accepted by a particular site). Firefox has somehow updated itself. I got the window "A new version of Firefox is available. Update now?" And refused it because I know the problem with updating and so never update. I'm really cross and frustrated. Please help me. Thank you.

    And next day, although my addons appear in the sidebar, the compatibility checker (recommended here) tells me that ALL my addons are incompatible. Even the Evernote clipper doesn't work.
    Also, I have done small tests and any icons I put into the navigation toolbar disappear when I restart Firefox.
    I can't decide whether to download Firefox 9 or go back to a year old 3. something version, but will have to decide within the next few hours as I need to get functioning again.

  • My Firefox updated about 2 hours ago. Now it crashes everytime I try to open it. Could someone please help me? I am now stuck on IE :(

    My Firefox updated about two hours ago. When I tried to open it after the update, it crashed and so I chose to start a new session. Now it won't open and I get a message saying "Firefox has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to this problem... Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Please help.

    Have you tried closing the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it
    Have you tried closing the app via the taskbar ? (I assume that your iPad is on iOS 6, though the version that your tagline shows, 6.1.6, is not a version for iPads) From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • For some reason if I click a link that needs to open in a new window, the new window is blank. This just started happening when firefox updated itself last time

    Ever since firefox automatically updated itself, I am not able to open websites in new windows - meaning that if I am on a website and you click a link on it that opens in a new window, that new window is blank. It used to work perfectly. I even checked my foxit reader and that it working well

    Hello Angelika.
    I should bring your attention to the fact that your user agent says you're using Firefox 3.6, not 3.0. I will remind you that Firefox 3.0 has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems.
    As for your problem, you may be 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 coming from 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] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. 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 theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Whenever firefox updates itself it always says that I must update flash player with the latest edition which I already have!

    I tried uninstall and install it again but whenever there is a firefox update it appears again!
    A similar problem I encounter with java. Whenever I close and open my PC and start firefox ALWAYS firefox finds updates for java 6.0.01 and 6.0.02 updates! (I tried to re-install java but with no result)
    Are these problems connected? What should I do?

    You have Flash 10.1 r53 , the latest version is 10.1 r82
    For Windows an east way to install it is to use the manual installer, for details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller

  • Firefox updated itself today and now won't open. I tried starting the Profile Manager as directed by the knowledge base and that won't start. What next?

    When I click on the Firefox icon, nothing shows up but it apparently is running in the background. I used Firefox yesterday and have not changed anything on my desktop, running XP, since then. This all happened with the automatic update

    It is not always necessary to create a new profile.<br />
    Easiest is to use: Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it happens after an update then a possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.

  • Firefox updated itself to 3.6.9 and now I can't print anything from an open page, because HP Smart Web Printing doesn't work with this version. What's a replacement extension?

    "An unknown error occurred while printing."

    I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.

  • Firefox recently updated itself, and all bookmarks are now gone. how do I get them back.

    no content needed. As I stated previously, all bookmarks are gone after firefox did an auto update.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
