How can I regain the use of my Firefox 3.6.22 browser?

After updating my Wise Stamp and My Points plugins I was unable to open my F.F. browser. In the upper left corner it first says "loading" but then changes to "restore session" and refuses to open.
I'm using an Imac intel core duo os 10.4.11, Firefox 3.6.22
I was advised to upgrade my os to Snow Leopard but I want to avoid that if at all possible. Would welcome suggestions as to how to regain the use of my Firefox 3.6.22 Browser. Thought I could fix the problem by reinstalling it but the same problem persists.

Whilst you could use Firefox 3.6.0 that is not secure and a security risk therefore can not be recommended. It is likely the earlier version only really differs because of security patches. (see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/releasenotes/ to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6.22/releasenotes/ )
If you do have security software it is likely to allow a specific version of firefox, and may block other versions as being unrecognised.
I do not see why Firefox 3.6.22 can not be used. It should open on your system. Have you got security software that may be blocking changes or new installations. Or maybe if you have been using an insecure version, and do not have security software then it is conceivable the problem is because of malware.
Try a clean reinstall of firefox 3.6.22, involving deleting the program files but not the profile files, and consider also trying a new clean profile (create an additional profile, do not delete the existing one - you would loose valuable information).

    As long as it's still available in the app store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download it, then you should be able to re-download it for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
    If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion.  I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
    If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

    Hi Frank!
    you should catch your save-event and after saving put the following line:
    oMatrix.Columns.Item(4).Cells.Item(lstRowIndex + 1).Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular);
    that's it!

    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).

  • How can I show the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox 6 all the time?

    The bookmarks toolbar is hidden by default in Firefox 6, and "view bookmarks toolbar" will only show it until a link is clicked or the tab is changed. How can I display the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox 6 all the time?

    On your toolbar area right click an empty space and open Customize.
    Then drag the bookmark icon up to your toolbar area and drop.

    There isn't a built in way to do that since all the navigation toolbars are on one toolbar.

  • How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox?

    How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox? I.e. I want to change all icons that appear in the browser - the loading "gif" the firefox...well... fox of fire in the "about" page, etc. Also what text shows up, for example on the "about:robots" page, and when hovering over a button, etc.
    I could do something like that with an earlier version of Firefox, and I found the quotes from the "about:robots" page in the "omni.ja" archive, extracted, changed them and replaced in the original archive, along with other icons, however they do not seem to be implemented. :/
    I do not mean changing the desktop or .exe icons, already did that.

    You can make a theme, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Themes

  • How do I regain the use of an earlier library in iPhoto '08?

    To rebuild my iPhoto Library I thought I had to hold down the Option key when starting iPhoto and did so. It resulted in making a new library. Now, I'm not sure what to do next because opening it shows that I have no photos in it. The Library Manager Folders shows my earlier Libraries and the new one. I want to use the library that I tried to rebuild.
    How do I select and use the earlier library?
    Thanks for your help, information, and suggestions.

    Thanks for your help - I'll try to explain as much as I can recall the steps I took: I had imported photos, created a new library which I thought had all of the photos imported from two other older libraries and used the library manager to select the new iphoto library. I then deleted the other libraries through the library manager (at least I thought I was in the library manager while doing that). And now, the next day, when I opened iPhoto, I found it contained no photos!
    Is there any way I can retrieve the library which had the photos? I used spotlight and found 4 libraries but there were'nt any photos in any of the libraries.
