How can I revert to an earlier version of Thunderbird? 31.1.2 is giving me bugs.

Thunderbird has been working great for me for years. I'm on a Windows 7 desktop computer.
The new version 31.1.2 got auto-installed yesterday, and now I have the popup window to "Add Security Exception" happening all the time, even with different mail servers (Yahoo and Google). I can't believe that both Yahoo and Google simultaneously had their certificates go out of date. So I think the problem is in Thunderbird.
I've submitted a bug report on Bugzilla, but for now I'd just like to revert back to version 31.1.1 (or whatever preceded 31.1.2). How can I do this?

Well, reverting to 31.1.1 did not fix the problem.
''Did you bother to check why you'd get the exception prompt? There must a reason for it, and I don't think it's due to a bug.''
How would I check?
''So I think the problem is in Thunderbird.''
''What makes you believe that? This forum would be swamped with complaints if that was a general problem. The problem is much more likely on your end. ''
Since the update was very new - and I had done nothing to my knowledge that should have caused the problem, I thought that many people would be seeing the problem.
''I doubt this will fix your problem. Please state what error message you get for the Google and Yahoo certs.''
You were right. I have attached a screen shot of the error message. It's the same for both Yahoo and Google.
I don't get any other message, but Thunderbird has become EXTREMELY slow at downloading new messages.

How can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox? This new version has me completely bewildered. I can't find ANYTHING!!!

I functioned extremely efficiently with Firefox for years. Now, suddenly the new version lacks the conveniently accessible functions to which I have become accustomed. I would like to re-install the earlier version so that I can resume my customary productivity, but I can't find the earlier version to "update" to ("downdate?") Please help me because I don't want to resort to one of the other browsers, but may have to if I can no longer figure out how to use Firefox. Nothing seems to work the way your instructions specify. You are making me feel like a gibbering idiot.

Make Firefox 4/5 look like Firefox 3.6.x:
*NOTE: Support for Firefox 3.6.x is scheduled to end soon, so we can help you find solutions for using Firefox 5.
**Also Firefox 4 support has ended (replaced by Firefox 5) and Firefox 6 is scheduled for release next week

I downloaded Firefox 4 which my iBook G4 does not support. How can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox?

A box showed up that said "this architecture does not support Firefox 4." Firefox was no longer available on my laptop. Leopard is my OS. (Highest it will go)

Do you recall whether your iBook G4 could run Firefox 3.6? If so, you can download it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
If you were using 3.5 or earlier, finding it is a bit trickier.
You probably want to backup your profile folder before uninstalling Firefox 4. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information Backing up your information | How to | Firefox Help].

How can I revert to a previous version that allows youtube download?

Firefox 18.0.1 crashes every time I close a tab. How can I revert to the prior version which worked fine?

I use Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion dm4-1160us Entertainment Notebook. I use Firefox extensively, and have not had this problem with any prior versions. I upgraded to 18.0.1 on Jan 18th and now Firefox crashes every time I close a tab. I use Norton Internet Security, and had no problems prior to updating Firefox. How can I revert to the prior version of Firefox which worked well.

Why is this Norton's problem when it was caused by Firefox's upgrade???
An easier solution is to use a different browser. Norton works fine.

Site Advisor doesn't work w/Firefox v5. How can I revert to an earlier revision?

Your notification said the update to FFv5 was "strongly recommended". If you'd told me siteadviser would be disabled, I'd never have updated.

I really dislike iTunes 11. How do I revert to an earlier version?

I really dislike iTunes 11. How do I revert to the previous version (v10.6)?

So I was pi**ed that they removed the Album Art preview. I decided to downgrade. I renamed my iTunes folder within ~/Music. After deleting the 11 .app, I installed 10.7. I ran it and everything seemed fine. It was empty, of course. So I drag and drop all my files over from the old iTunes folder, except iTunes Library.itl. I copied the old one from the Previous folder, renamed it, and started iTunes. Everything looked as it was, even the window was resized like I had it -- but I had a popup window.
"An unknown error occured -42408"
I tried every single solution I could find on the internet and none of them helped it. I work in IT for a living so believe me when I say I tried everything. The only other solutions were upgrade iTunes (lol) or do a full Time Machine restore. I don't feel like restoring my entire computer tonight, so I decided to suck it up and reinstall iTunes 11.
What a ******* nightmare. I can't believe Apple would remove such useful features and not even give you the option to put them back. I guarantee you won't get them back, either. Apple doesn't have a great history of taking stuff away and giving it back. Really regretting my decision to try it out.
Oh yeah, and I had to fix my iPad with the fix provided above. Didn't help my error though. I couldn't authorize or deauthorize my computer. I want to see if I can deauthorize it with iTunes 11 and then try it with 10.7 but I've already messed around with it enough. I just want to have a good night. This pretty much wrecked it.

TS1717 i updated itunes and now i cant find half my music- how can i return to the earlier version

i updated my Itunes to the newest version- now it cant find half my music and my computer is reall acting wonky since i installed. how can i uninstall to the previous version?

iTunes has no serial number.
If iTunes says it can't find the files, it means it can't read them from where they should be.
iTunes doesn't store the music actually within itself, it just keeps the location of the song, and then reads it from there. E.g. Song is in 'My Music', add it too iTunes. When iTunes plays the song, it's playing it from 'My Music', not from a full song file in the iTunes library.
So, do you have your music files stored on the actual hard-drive of your computer, or on an external hard drive? If external hard drive, are you getting this error both when it's connected, AND when it's disconnected, or only when it's disconnected?

With the new version of Firefox I cannot use my Google Toolbar. Can I revert to the earlier version with which the Google Toolbar was compatiable? If so, how do I do it?

I love Firefox but found it more user-friendly when I had my Google Toolbar as well. I want it back and the new version of Firefox does not allow it. Can I revert to the most recent version of Firefox which did allow Google Toolbar and if so how do it do that?

The Google Toolbar "will not be supported on Firefox 5 and future versions."

The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.

How can you go back to earlier version?

I've read interesting posts by people who went back to an earlier version of iTunes to get around the iTunes 6 problems. Can someone tell me how to do this? I tried to do a system restore and it doesn't work.

Hi Dr. Deb.
I followed Paul Haines instructions in this thread...
Gary Baker, "How to get rid of the iTunes V5 and revert to V4.9" #27, 12:45pm Oct 20, 2005 CDT
It worked for me. However, iTunes may leave a library.xml file in your "My Music" folder which I had to move manually as when I tried to launch Ver4.9 for the first time, it failed as it wouldn't recognise a later version's library.xml file.
iTunes then opened but with nothing in the library until I selected "Add Folder To Library" selected the folder where my music was and then I had it all back in the library.
Hope this helps?
Regards...

How do I turn off automatic save? Or How do I revert to an earlier version of my file?

I just installed Lion. I use numbers, and I wish to revert to an earlier saved version of my numbers file, as I lost data (blank sheet this morning) last night. I did not close the file overnight, but did this morning in an effort to open an earlier version of the file. How do I open an earlier version of my numbers file? Can I do this only if I make continual "running" backups of the file, or is there a way that Lion saves an earlier version a la Time Machine. Thanks much. Vince

Some coupon sites aren't compatible with Firefox 4 so I can't print needed coupons. How can I revert to the old version of Firefox?

When I try to print coupons at coupons.com and target.com, just to name two, I get a message saying they "We're unable to support coupon printing on your system at this time. The Coupon Print Activator is supported on Windows Operating Systems 2000, ME, XP, Vista and Windows 7 when used with Internet Explorer 6.x, 7.x and 8.x, Firefox 2.x and 3.x, Google Chrome 3.x and Apple Safari 4.x and on Apple Mac OS X and above when used with Safari 2.x and 3.x or Firefox 2.x and 3.x browsers."
Does this mean I need to revert to the previous version of Firefox?

How can I access and download earlier versions of Adobe Reader to put on my older model iPod Touch?

We have model PC086LL iPod Touched from roughly 2008 for our school that are rarely used anymore because we've updated to iPads. But, I want to be able to use some of the iPod Touches to store files to access remotely in emergencies. Unfortunately I cannot access earlier versions of the Adobe Reader app that are compatible with this version iPod. How do I get access to those earlier versions?

SGMS Knight,
Based on the model number that you provided, your device is an iPod Touch 2nd generation.
According to the following Wikipedia page, the highest supported operating system for the iPod Touch 2nd generation is iOS 4.2.1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices#iPod_Touch
Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.0.1 is compatible with iOS 5. However, the App Store does not have the earlier version of Adobe Reader that is compatible with iOS 4.
As a user, you can download and install Adobe Reader for iOS only from the App Store.
You may be able to find other free PDF viewers that are compatible with iOS 4 in the App Store.
Good luck.

Can I revert back to earlier version???

I did the January '08 update (1.1.3) and now I am having all sorts of problems. For starters, I have lost Wi-fi and Blue-tooth (greyed out and unaccessible) and I am sure I will find other things wrong after reading some of the forum posts in here. Rather than doing resets, etc. is there a way to revert back to the earlier version I had before the update?
Thanks,
JD

Hey All,
I did all as instructed in the articles each of you sent to me. I greatly appreciate your taking time to help out. While all other aspects of the phone continued working fine the bluetooth and Wi-fi were still greyed out and unavailable. After talking with Apple tech support (phone was less than 30 days old) they sent me to the nearest Apple store and the phone was replaced with a new (not refurbished) phone without any hassles or debates. I don't know if this is the common experience but I was quite happy with how they treated me. Despite the inconvenience of time lost due to this issue they did respond well and I am still happy with my iphone.
Thanks again for all your help, you're all great!
JD

After updating old Touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear on Bose Sounddock. How can I update to an earlier version?

After updating old ipod touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear it on old Bose Sounddock. How can I reverse-update to an older version? Or, is there something else I can do? I can hear the ipod on earbuds, but not on the sounddock.

All the monitoring is done through your sound device, not Audition. When you updated your PC, the sound device playback settings would have been reset. One of them includes input socket monitoring, and it's this that you need to reinstate. Since we don't know what sound device you are using, that's as much as we can tell you, except that if it's an internal device, you'll need to open the volume control options and alter it there. This varies between OS versions though...
