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 the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? Thank You, Carol Roberts

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? If there is no way to do this, then I will have to use internet explorer so I hope you can help me with this. Thank You, Carol Roberts

Until Evernote updates their add-on to mark it compatible with Firefox 6, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to try re-enabling it yourself.
You can also downgrade to a previous version of Firefox from [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ this archive], but please be warned that some old versions of Firefox have known security bugs that are fixed in later versions.

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.

Hate the new iMovie how to I revert to the old version?

loaded movie clips thinking the new iMovie with updates would be better than the pervious version....WRONG!!! New version is much more difficult to use. How do I revert to the old version??? HELP!! My job depends on getting this video together my MONDAY!! YIKES!

The install of iMovie 10 doesn't remove the previous iMovie version 9 or any of its files.
Look for it in your HD/Applications folder.

I don't like Firefox 7, how do I revert to the previous version? System restore doesn't work.

With Firefox 7 my computer is slower to boot up and shut down. When typing the website I want in the address bar the old firefox took me straight to the site now it takes me to Google. I'd like to revert to the previous version of Firefox. I have tried using system restore but it doesn't work. I'm using windows XP. Can anyone help?

Starting with the release of Firefox 7, the previous versions of Firefox (4.0.x, 5.0.x and 6.0.x) are no longer maintained with Security and Stability updates. Firefox 3.6 is the last previous Firefox version that is still being maintained.
Firefox versions 4.0.x 5.0.x 6.0.x contain Security vulnerabilities that are known and could be exploited by some websites to gain unauthorized access to information or to disrupt critical processing. Only the Latest version 7.0.1 and an Older version 3.6.23 of Firefox are secure against these known vulnerabilities.

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%.

My school's website is not recognizing my new verisign certificate with the latest version of Firefox. Tech supports suggest I revert to an older version of Firefox. How do I revert to an earlier version of 3.6.11?

The school's website recognizes the new certificate but does not accept it. School's tech support suggest to revert to an older version of Firefox. How do I do that?

Try to remove the old certificate. Also check if there are intermediate certificates used and stored.

I can no longer open lotus notes with firefox 4.0 -- how do I revert to the previous version?

Lotus notes is my work email system. I can still open it on safari on my Mac, but I get a message that an error may have occurred that causes the application to fail.
NOT helpful!

Look in your Applications folder. If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder. Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

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

HT1750 i decide to upgrade to the OS X Mavericks not realizing I don't have enough hard disk space and now I cant do anything. How do I revert to the previous version to make more space on the HD?

I decided to upgrade to OS X Mavericks not realizing I don't have enough HD space. Now I cannot do anything with the upgrade. How can I revert to the previous OS X to free up more space on the HD?

You can't. It's already downloaded and filled the drive. The only option is to erase and reinstall.
You may be able to Target Disk Mode if you can connect the Mac to another with FireWire or Thunderbolt Cables (USB will not work and it cannot be connected to a windows PC)
Do you have a Time Machine Backup?
If not best option is getting it in somewhere where they can transfer the data you need off before Erase and Reinstalling OS.
Unless there is nothing on the Machine you need anymore that is, in which case you may be able to Erase in Recovery. It May not work though, if the Disk is too full.

Bridge 6.1.0.115 will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Unfortunately, I upgraded to the new version. How do I revert to the older version that works with Mac OS 10.6.8?

Is there a way to download the previous or older version of Bridge CC. The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.

The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.
The easiest way would be to update to at least 10.7.5 (supported on most older Macs) but maybe you have strong reasons not to do so, however it will put you in to more trouble in the future because newer applications have more often the habit of not being able to support older OS versions due to limitations of this old OS.
Here is the announcement of Adobe:
http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/moving-ahead-with-mac-os-x-10-7-and-higher/
However PS CC should still work on your system and otherwise CS6 should. As a cloud subscriber you still have access to both CC and CS6 on the Adobe CC download pages. But only PS is a major upgrade (changed to version 2014) and Bridge has just a minor update and should still work on 10.6.8 I would think?
Installing the updates and upgrades did not remove or uninstall the CC versions of PS, otherwise use CC application to install CC again.

How doI to revert to the previous version of Firefox I had before downloading the latest one.?

I miss the ease of use of the google toolbar and its features; these cannot be used with this latest version of Firefox. I was content with the previous version I was using.

Previous versions are no longer maintained for security and stability issues.
*You are risking your private information and online security when using an unsupported version.
*Only Firefox 8 and Firefox 3.6.24 are currently supported and updated.
*Support for Firefox 3.6.24 is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

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].

Yahoo toolbar isn't compatable with ff 5.0, how do I revert to the previous version of firefox?

I just installed ff 5.0 & I'd like to go back to the previous version

See [[installing a previous version of Firefox]].
Possibly at some stage Yahoo will release an update to the toolbar so it works with Firefox again.
Update Note Yahoo toolbar is being made compatible with Firefox 5, and it was hoped to have been done by 21st June. ([/forums/contributors/707024?last=40411#post-40357 see] ) Yahoo toolbar is therefore likely to become compatible very soon, if not already.

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."
