How do I get the old search toolbar back?

Yesterday, I'm assuming Firefox updated without asking or telling me, and now the way that my search toolbar functions is totally different. I don't like it. I want to be able to use the old search bar, where you can click the arrow by the magnifying glass logo to chose from a very simple list of search engines to set the search bar to. I don't want to pick one default and then chose a different one every time I want to use a different one. Sometimes I need to look a lot of things in a row up on Wikipedia, and it's a lot easier to just set the search bar to Wikipedia once and continue searching there, without having to go into preferences and change my default, or without having to chose Wikipedia every single time I search. This is ridiculous, the search bar wasn't broken, and I don't see any reason why I should have to chose between using a crappy inferior version of a very simple straightforward toolbar or going back to the old version and being vulnerable to security threats. I also don't want the top of my screen loaded up with an add-on toolbar. I just want Firefox to function the way it functioned yesterday. Please tell me there is a way to change it back to the way it was yesterday without putting myself at risk.

You can revert to the previous Search Bar scheme like this.
Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)''
Right-click and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
'''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
Then restart Firefox.

HT5624 I don't want Icloud. I believe it drains the battery of my phone. How do I get the old operating system back on my new iphone 4G?

I just got a new upgrade iphone from a 3G to 4G. My son updated the software with Icloud. I do not like it, it drains my battery. How do I get the old operating system back (without icloud). Also, I don't know how to close an APP anymore and I think that could be draining my battery as well. It doesn't work the same way when I doubled click and then touch the APP it doesn't give me a dash to close it up again.

Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
As for icloud, go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.
As for battery drain...
Look through this...
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/
Also, Settings>General>Background App Refresh: turn off apps you don't want refreshing data - this can preserve battery life.
Also try a reboot: press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

How to get the old search feature back on my calendar

Prior to the latest update I could hit the search symbol and all my calendar events would appear in date order and I could scroll through them. Now I have to open each day on its own to see what is scheduled. Any way to get the older search version back. I dislike this one immensely.

The search button (magnifying glass) in the 7.1 Calendar is just the search all by itself. Previously to 7.1 (in 7.0.X) the 'List View' was embedded in the Search button. With iOS 7.1, you should have a new button to the left of the Magnifying Glass that allows you to view your Calendar in list view while still being able to access all the other features including search.

Good Luck! Hope this helps!

Tried to upgrade as suggested. Firefox won't open now, says my Mac isn't a compatible version. How do I get the old Firefox system back?

Went to open Firefox this morning. It said I should upgrade to the new Firefox. I downloaded as requested. When complete, I tried to open Firefox and it said the new version isn't compatible with my older Mac. How do I get the older version of Firefox on my system and get rid of the new one that won't open??

* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

New firefox installed - didn't give me the option of not installing it before telling me that (essential to me) add-ons were incompatible. How can I get the old firefox version back?

I would not have installed the new firefox if I had known in advance that two of my essential add-ons would no longer work. Now I want the old firefox version back so I can continue to function until the add-ons are updated. Suggestion: when you notify user that add-ons are incompatible, give the option of reverting to an earlier firefox version.

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

How do I get the old YouTube app back...

...becasue the new one *****.
It wants to play one video after another, non stop. I just want it to play the video I choose and then do nothing until I tell it to play another one. This is very annoying.
Also, if I pause a video to read some text on the screen I can't see the text becasue it throws a menu up in the middle of the screen. Who thought that was a good idea?
It is becoming apparent thta the new YouTube app is un-usable for me.

Only some of the channels do that, so it must be by design by the content provider(s). I think the Smithsonian Channel is one that does it, but I am not near an Apple TV to check.
Have a nice day.

I hate this new version of iTunes. How can I get the old version back?

Anybody have any ideas how I can get the old iTunes version back? This new one is almost impossible to use, at least the way I use it.

In the old version, when I logged in to the store, it automatically updated the podcasts to which I was subscribed. The new format carries no dates and very little identification so that I know what I don't yet have when I go to a new podcast. The music I searched for was sorely lacking; I know they have more Brubeck than what I found because I have done a similar search in the past and there were many more choices. It's just a mess trying to find what I want. I'm afraid to plug in the iPod for fear of this new program screwing up what I have. I don't want to have to reload all my music and reorganize it. It's good to know I'm not alone in my dissatisfaction. And Apple makes it very difficult to give them direct feedback. Most sites at least have a "Contact Us" option. I've gotten a ton of email since I posted this afternoon. Hope that wasn't a mistake.

You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
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

I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back?

I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back? It said my tool bars are not compatible. I want them back.

That is the new appearance Firefox 4 and now Firefox 5, you can easily put things back because Firefox is customizable.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?

How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone? The Mavrick version is crisp and clean but a colored dot is not the same as a highlighted word. I rely on my iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 to help me track which of the 8 sites I visit for my job during the week - the color coding is (was key) to organizing and tracking meetings. I hate the upgrade!

If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.
