How do I get back to Firefox as it was a few weeks ago, before a lot of functionality was lost

Firefox worked great at one time. After several upgrades it has lost so much functionality that I need to go back to IE. However, I have added dozens of bookmarks, which aren't in IE, so I need to switch back and forth.
I'm fed up with it now.
Functionality that was lost:
1, Interactive graphics for weather radar on sites like (but not limited to) weather.com
2. Interactive graphics for price trend graphics on websites Google Finance and Yahoo Finance
3. Can't play videos at You Tube and other sites where they have embedded videos.
4. Haven't been able to right click to download videos to Real Player for a while.
All of this functionality still exists on IE.

Hi jye1912, Adobe already released a small Flash update to address crashing issues, and I believe they are working with Mozilla on the other issues (e.g., just seeing a white or black rectangle). But I have no idea on the time frame.

So, I put a new password on my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago and forgot it and I have not backed my phone up. Also i have not updated it yet. What do i need to do to get it unlocked? Contact my provider or Apple.

Neither, that password is stored locally. Connect it to your computer and restore it from your backup.

I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)

so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

How do I get back the firefox page that has the connection to gmail, not just the search engine?

When I open fire fox I get a page that says it is 'my web search'. There is no way to connect to g mail on that page. Previously, the page did searching and had a connection to g mail. I miss it. How do I get it back?

Do you have the Test Pilot Addon? Test pilot was expirimenting with new tab pages recently, to determine which new tab page should make it into a later version of firefox (probably 9 or 10). I believe the study is over now, so they have removed the new tab page.
To get a similar feature search http://addons.mozilla.org for '''new tab page''' or '''Speed dial''' extensions.

How do I get back to Firefox 37, can't use dashline with 38

Dashline tells me not competable with Firefox 38, is there a fix for this?

If you have Firefox 38.0 then either you installed the 38.0 Beta 1 build or you were on the Beta channel due to install a Beta build of a version at some point and continued.
To get back to Release channel you can install the current Release from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all which is currently Firefox 37.0.1

I start firefox but I just get google page. How can I get back to firefox?

I open firefox but it always gives me the google home page instead of firefox. the top left box says google. It used to say firefox and options if I clicked on it ,like printing an on line page etc.

Starting in Firefox 4, the home page changed to '''about:home''' but it is pretty easy to change. To set it back, you can use the Options dialog, General tab. This article has more information: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

Hi, just installed firefox 4. How can I get back to firefox 3. Peter.

I simply don't like the new version and would rather be using the older version.

Firefox is highly customizable. For example you can make it look and behave more like Firefox 3.6 as shown here - http://redherring2.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/firefox-4-restoring-firefox-3-ui
Is there anything in particular you don't like, somebody may be able to help you customize Firefox 4 to meet your needs.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can 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 get back to FireFox 5. The 7 version will not work with the college's MIS - which does not support version 7, which was downloaded automatically.

The Angel management system used for classes does not support version 7. That's huge.

Old versions of firefox 4,5 & 6 are no longer supported or considered secure. You put your system and your personal data at risk if you use them. Further more if you download from third party sites you face other potential risks or inconveniences.
The recommended official solution is to use Firefox 3.6 which is still supported, and will be 3.6.23, which will upgrade soon to 3.6.24
Another alternative is to use the current secure firefox for all day to day work, and use a separate firefox portable for the problem school site. With luck a firefox portable version will be available with firefox 3.6.23 which is currently the supported version. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36

How do I get back my small icon for one click completion of my name and address etc. I lost it when I got back my web address bar

I was getting frustrated that I had no address bar to put in an address and go straight to the page, but in restoring that I have lost my small icon which I clicked on when I wanted to complete all my personal data on the many sites such as the council, shopping sites etc. It used to fill in my name, address, telephone number, email address, etc. It was a small square firefox icon. I am using a Toshiba Laptop, with Windows Vista operating system

"small pencil" - Is this the '''exact''' extension you have installed? 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autofill-forms/
I don't know where you are getting '''Ctrl + Q''' from - that extension uses '''''Alt + J''''' to trigger the 'autofill' feature when the cursor is in the first form field.
'''FillForms''' extension doesn't seem to have a "small pencil" associated with it. 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fillforms/ 
But it does use '''Ctrl + Q''' till web forms. 
''Sorry can't help you with that extension, the 'support' page is written in a SE Asian language which is undecipherable to me. http://www.symental.com/bbs/

TS4002 How do I find an e-mail that I sent a few weeks ago? I did a search but it doesn't show up

I searched and it came up once in a different mailbox. I dragged it to my Sent box but it is no longer there. I am not sure whether it's on the Cloud or on my Mac.

I just answered my own question. Answer: make sure that the signature is associated with the "from" address. All is well.

How can I get back the Web Clip widget in Dashborad?

Dear all,
I accidentally deleted the Web Clip widget together with the Web Clip.wdg in Library/Widgets/ folder by AppCleaner some time ago. Now I cannot use this function to clip content in pages. I have the widget icon in Safari and can crop the webpage without problems, but after I did this action, nothing appeared or happened in the Dashboard since the original web clip widget file is gone.
I would like to know where and how I can get back the Web Clip.wdg file so that I can perform the Web Clip function again?
I just saw a user who posted a similar topic on Dec 28, 2008 and his/her problem is solved. I have this same problem like his/hers.
I would appreciate if anyone can help me, thanks!

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help.
I have tried to use Time Machine to get back the Web Clip but still couldn't, and very strange is when I click Time Machine, I can only choose Windows Applications as the back up disk but not Macintosh Applications, so I cannot restore anything from Macintosh applications.
I think the best is if anyone has this widget on their Mac and can kindly send it to me by e-mail?
I would appreciate it so much.

How can I get back to the standard .TIFF viewer in my browser ?

Hello,
I have installed iTune on my PC. Since then I can no longer use the standard MSW picture viewer. This one allows me to rotate and resize pictures, and I cannot do this with QT. How can I get back ? I tried to use the "External module management" of my browser, but it was useless.
Thanks for your help,
Thierry

Quicktime coming ! Sorry. But for once that an MS product worked well for my needs, beeing ennoyed by an Apple one turns me a bit angry !

Version 4 will not open with Mac G4 System10.5.8 Replace ver3 now no Firefox at all . How do I get back to Ver 3 or get Ver 4 to open

I down loaded Firefox 4 to my Mac Laptop G4 running operating system 10.5.8, 1.67ghz, 2gig ram. When install it in the applicatiion folder I replaced the version 3.6x that I was using. When I try to open Ver 4 I get an error message that iy cant open because it is not supported on this architecture. How do I get it to open or how do I get back to version 3.6x So i dont loose all my bookmark. For some reason Firefox on my backup disk says it has an error code and can not load

Sorry, but as you discovered, Firefox 4+ no longer support the PowerPC CPUs.
I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong with the reinstall. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 from here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Does that work (i.e., pick up your profile automatically)?
There's also an unofficial build using Firefox 5 code adapted to the PPC platform. You can read about that here: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
