How can I uninstall firefox 4 and return to the version prior?

I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and return to the prior version. how can I do this?

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first 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

  • How do I uninstall Firefox 5 and return to Firefox 4?

    I would like to return to using Firefox 4 until the google ad-on is compatible

    For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
    * ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
    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).
    '''Keep your extensions up to date''', don't wait for a Firefox update and then try to do everything after the Firefox update.
    '''Research your''' extensions, some may have updates, some may be found in the developer comments or user comments on the add-on, or on the "'''View all versions'''" link which is part of the Release notes at the bottom of the add-on page.

    Only a few extension that worked in 4.0 won't work in Firefox 5.

  • How can I uninstall Firefox 4 and reinstall the previous edition?

    Yesterday I upgraded to Firefox 4. Sorry, but I do not like it at all, the rearrangement of "bars" at the top of the screen, removing the down arrow that was next to the "back arrow/forward arrow, to allow you to see a small current "history list.' But mostly, the fact that I can not use my Norton Internet Security, which has all my 'user names' and 'pass words'; which cost over a hundred dollars.
    I want to change back to the previous edition of Firefox; which I purchased several years ago, and have been upgrading since then.
    Thank you.

    Maybe wait another day because Firefox 5.0 will be released on June 21 and maybe that version works better.
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall and other security software.
    See also:
    * [[No sound in Firefox]]
    * [[Video or audio does not play]]
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />
    Also check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />

  • How do I uninstall Firefox update and make my Norton toolbar work again?

    Norton has all of my passwords saved in the toolbar, and now I can access any of them! How do I uninstall Firefox 17 and get back to 16 so that my toolbar works again? (I already ran the Norton Live Update and it did not fix the problem.)

    I already ran the Norton Live update and restarted with no success. I have Norton Security Suite, not Norton 360. The only way I have been able to make this work in the past is to stay 2 or 3 versions behind on Firefox.

  • Firefox 6 forces you to log into e-mail again & again, since you can't view an e-mail & simply close that tab.. I want to close the tab, not exit the function I am in. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    With Firefox 6, you can't close the tab you are in and remain in the program; opting to close one e-mail means you are forced to exit the (e-mail) program completely and then go back into it...this is ridiculous if you are trying to read all your e-mails...not have this issue. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
    Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
    Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
    If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
    No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

  • How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

    There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
    large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
    end of the burned DVD.
    In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
    end of burned projects.
    This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
    I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
    work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
    Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
    but the system will not let me.
    Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
    components and install iLife '06?
    Thanks

    I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

    how can i uninstall Windows 7 and remove the partition?  white unibody late 2009.  i cannot seem to find bootcamp either :/

    Open the Boot Camp Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and use it to restore the drive to a single partition setup. If it's not there, use Pacifist to extract it from your install DVD and run the combo updater for your OS version.

  • How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?

    How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?

    Check to see if there's such a folder as  either
    /Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
    ~/Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
    and if so, see if either contains an uninstaller.
    Failing that, download the demo version of the app from Trend Micro, and try the uninstaller that it should contain.
    If all else fails, the manual way would be to use something like EasyFind and search for anything with "com.trendmicro" in the filename (you can use Finder, but be sure to include system files and invisible files in the search options). Pay particular attention to the folders
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    ~/Library/Preferences

  • I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
