Hi, just installed firefox 4. How can I get back to firefox 3. Peter.

I simply don't like the new version and would rather be using the older version.

Firefox is highly customizable. For example you can make it look and behave more like Firefox 3.6 as shown here - http://redherring2.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/firefox-4-restoring-firefox-3-ui
Is there anything in particular you don't like, somebody may be able to help you customize Firefox 4 to meet your needs.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

    From your backups. By doing a clean install you erased your startup volume. You may have installed OS X, but your personal software was erased. You can restore from backups if your have them. If not, then you've lost it all, permanently.

    IS THIS A GAME?
    WHAT DETAILS DO YOU NEED?
    THE COMPUTER HAS WORKED FINE
    WITH THE OLD MOZILLA FIREFOX
    FOR YEARS.
    NO CHANGES HERE IN ANYTHING ELSE.

    Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following:<br><br>
    * Fun Web Products Plugin<br><br>
    * My Web Search<br><br>
    Both of these are adware/spyware and cause performance issues in Firefox.
    Next, click the Extensions menu link (above Plugins where you are) and remove the "Ask Toolbar".
    If the problem persists, please do the following:<br><br>
    #Click '''Help '''| '''Restart with Add-ons disabled'''.<br><br>
    #In the next menu which appears, checkmark: "'''Reset toolbars and Controls'''".<br><br>
    #Finally, click the button called "'''Make changes and restart'''".
    Just in case you weren't aware of it, you can right click the Back or Forward buttons to get a list of sites visited. If you'd like to see the return of the arrow on the Back button, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
    Last but not least, some of your plugins are seriously out of date which exposes your system to exploits. Please visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

  • I just pressed the wrong button to erase of my IMac, how can I get back all information from my computer ?

    I just pressed the wrong button to erase of my iMac, how can i get back all information ?

    Possibly through a data rescue service (can cost a four-figure amount) if you didn't have an external backup.
    But you must stop using that Mac immediately, or your data will be over-written.

  • My apple tv 2 says I can't stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac without settng up iTunes Match. I don't want to set up iTunes match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to A

I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • Just finished using iTunes, closed out and then tried to get back in.  Got this message "he iTunes library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."  How can I get back into iTunes ?

    I just finished using iTunes, closed out and then tried to get ack in.  Got this message "The iTunes library .9tl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."   How can I get back ino iTunes ?

    I actually figured it out...I had to go to the iTunes Library Extras.itdb file and give myself permission to have full control.  THEN, I could go and estore a previos version.  Once I had done this, I got the same message for iTunes Library Genius.itdb . . . I did the same thing with it and Voila'!!
    Hope this helps...

    I can't change any information for any songs in my library, everything is just greyed out.  How can I get the ability to edit my song information?

    I found one other way to do it.  I just deleted them all out of my iTunes library. Now I can re-import them from Window's My Music file with the original artists' names intact.
    Thanks for your help, Matt!

  • For some apps it seems impossible to determine the price before, or even after, installing them. How can I get round this?

    For some apps it seems impossible to determine the price before, or even after, installing them. How can I get round this?

    Can you be clearer about what you're seeing?  The price should be clearly stated up front...  Is that not the case?  Note that there may be additional taxes that will increase the final price, and that can't be included in that up-front listed price, since taxes are different everywhere.

    Remove the contacts from 'On My Mac' you don't have duplicates, you are looking at 2 accounts at once.

  • How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my iphones 4 and my ipad 2?

    How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my two iphones4 and my ipad2?
    Since more than 6 monthes I can't use
    * video for more than 5 minutes,
    * tv-streams for more than 5 minutes,
    * apple store updates in case of more than one update,
    * itunes download in case of more than one download object,
    * remote control
    * air play with appletv3
    without errors.
    On ios 6.x (incl. 6.1.2) all important apple media integration are just useless.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • How can I get back my movie logo?

    I have downloaded a film from iTunes from my iPad. When downloaded, at first I could see this downloaded film including the movie cover on the app called 'Video's'.
    After I streamed this film on my tv via the Apple TV, the movie cover logo disappeared and in place of the original movie cover there is just a drawing of a TV.
    How can I get back the original movie cover logo on my iPad ? Does anyone know this?

    I already did the backup and the apps are now in a folder on my pc and appears when I connect my iPhone to the pc on iTunes). I'm happy it can happen... when the new iPhone will arrive I will try soon! Thank you!!!!!
