How can I get Firefox 7 back?
I'm SCREWED! I updated to Firefox 8 a couple days ago and was still running Flash 10. Everything was fine and then I got the prompt later in the day to update to Flash 11. I did. BIG mistake. I run Vista 64 bit and now Flash doesn't run anymore. I uninstalled 11 and reinstalled 10. Firefox 8 plugins showed that Flash isn't available for 8. Anyway, does anyone know how the hell I can get Firefox 7 back? Now that I reinstalled Flash 10, videos work fine in Chrome and in IE but NOT in Firefox 8.

I was using Firefox as my primary browser. After I installed Google Chrome, I could no longer open Firefox. It would appear to open, but immediately disappear. I reinstalled Firefox, but it did not solve the problem. I like Firefox; so I uninstalled Chrome. Now I cannot use either Chrome or Firefox. I simply get a blank window when I try to activate firefox. I have had to revert to IE in order to browse; however, I prefer Firefox. How do I resolve this problem?
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.Hi penami,
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge. -
My school (Highline Community College) as advised me that firefox 7 will not allow people to use the (Angel) online e-mail system. I need to stay in contact with my teachers. They said don't get firefox 7 but I already have it. They said go back to firefox 6 which they even provide a link for but when you upload it it says this is an old system click here to get 7. I already have 7 and know it will not work. How can I get 6 back.
I have the same problem. It was literally snuck in as a simple update and suddenly I couldn't upload any of my assignments. You can get rid of 7 by going to control panel and removing the Mozilla file. then look for the FF 6 upload. I warn you though. It REALLY wants to be 7. Don't allow any updates to happen or you will be in the same position.
I like Firefox and it is truly disappointing that they would force this situation. My nest step is back to IE 8 which wants to be 9. Arghh! -
My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP. I never did anything to make this happen.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden. -

My Firefox start page had a check box for searching Canadian pages which was lost when I upgraded to 4.0. How can I get this back?
The default about:home page in Firefox 4 doesn't give such features. You can set the home page to http://www.google.ca to get that possibility. The results page has a "Pages from Canada" link in the side menu at the left.

My "Back" arrow disappeared from my Firefox toolbar and I can't find a way to go back to a previous page. How can I get it back on?
Hey kayo410,
Sounds like they might have accidentally been removed from the toolbar. The toolbar can be customized pretty extensively, so it's not an uncommon mistake. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]. It will show you how to restore the buttons.
Hopefully this helps! -
I can find all of my add-ons when I click on the Firefox icon on the upper left of my screen and click on add-ons, but they no longer appear on my toolbar where I can click on them and use them with the file I'm working in. They are useless to me now. I disabled the AOL toolbar for one session and the add-ons didn't show up. When I click on the edit buttion on the AOL toolbar, I don't see where I can add the Firefox add-ons. How can I get them back onto my toolbar?
Hi,
You can try to right-click the + after the last tab > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars Customize], and drag and drop the required icons. Alternatively you may also be able to include the icons via the '''Options''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''.

[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Using%20extensions%20with%20Firefox Using extensions]
If there are problems, you can try deleting the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] file in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder] after exiting Firefox, and then do the customization.
To open the profile folder via Firefox: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Show Folder'''.

Firefox offered me a program that killed unwanted cookies and showed me a pop-up as they were deleted and it's gone. How can I get it back? Thanks
Thanks, but that didn't do it.
When it was working, there was a small Firefox icon in the lower right corner...it showed a pop-up when someone tried to load a cookie, described it and deleted it. Yahoo was trying to load cookies every 15 minutes or so, this feature alerted me and described the action as 'self-destructed'. Would like to get it back....
Thanks, Tedzo -
I use Firefox 'Most Visited' to access websites I use many times every day. I inadvertently clicked 'Forget About This Site' on a page listing that I need. That page is gone, apparently permanently, from my 'Most Visited' list. No matter how many times I re-visit the page, it will not show up on 'Most Visited'. How can I get it back? Thanks!
Most Visited is an automatically generated list that shows sites that you've visited.<br />
If you delete the history of a site then you have with a visit count of zero.<br />
To make that site reappear in that you you will have to visit that site often enough to make the visit count match the other sites in that list or clear the history from other sites in that list.
You can make the Visit Count column visible in the History Manager to see how many times you've visit sites.

Hello,my question is why wont google toolbar work with firefox 5?????
Also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???This page is an easier way to download Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US , as this links starts the download process asap.
I needed to upgrade to Firefox 4.0+ for an add-on that I really needed. However, I can't use Firefox 5.0, as I randomly checked 3 add-on's I had: "Firefox PDF", "Delicious Bookmarks" and "After the Deadline", and none of them worked with Firefox 5.0. In fact, I will have to download alpha versions, etc., to get these add-ons to work with Firefox 4.0. -
The CONTENT tab has NOTHING in it, how can I get it back to change settings?
Under Tools - Options - Content: The screen has no options, the screen is blank. How can I get it back so I can change the settings for pop-up blockers and such? This is driving me CRAZY!!!!
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the 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 other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
My marketplace has lost his CSS-Layout! How can I get it back/install the marketplace new?
Hi,
since a few weeks, when I start the Firefox Os marketplace, I see an unformatted HTML-page without any layout. Somehow I lost the layout information. How can I get it back? The first idea was reinstalling the marketplace. But it is not an app in the marketplace...
Please help me. using the marketplace without layout is not usable for a longer time.
Alle other apps are working fine. The marketplace had an layout, when i bought the smartphone (ZTE Open C).
regards
AKHi Ralph,
thank you for your quick response.
I saw a simple HTML-Page in white, all links in blue or purple. I expected the normal marketplace-layout.
After opening your link at the browser and adding a favorit to the desktop my original marketplace-App-Button works fine again. Now even using the App-Button the layout is back again. Sometimes it can be so simple...
So you solved the problem for me.
Thanks a lot

I lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?
i lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?
Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.
