How do I go back to an earlier version of Firefox?

I've had a belly full of this version. For one thing it doesn't save the tabs when you shut down.
When I try to load a previous version, the thing updates to the latest version without any input from me.

i found the link to earlier version:

  • A very important site, does not function properly anymore, how can i go back to an earlier version of firefox

    Before i downloaded your firefox 8.0.1, I used firefox to 'save as' the ''Unrealized gain/loss page'' from a brokerage account, - for my ongoing historical financial records file (safari doesn't work for this site).
    On the Unrealized gain/loss page, there is a '+' symbol (in front of each stock owned) that one needs to 'clic' on (turns to a -) to see the various dates (and financial data) when you purchased different lots of the same stock. (say, ''IBM''; purchased IBM shares on 21-10-'11, 100 shares, @ $147, current price @ $180, gain of $33/share, total gain $3,300 / 10-14-'11 purchased 200 IBM shares, @ $191, current price @ $180, loss of $11/share, total loss $2200 / - and so on for however many individual 'lots' one has of that particular stock. ). This information is very important to me, and now i can not 'save' it.
    - So I want to know how I 'fix' this - or - how I can go back to the earlier version, that did work.

    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.

  • How can i revert back to an earlier version of Firefox? I have had nothing but slow, slow loading eversince I upgraded to4.01.1. I hate this version of Firefox. I hate the toolbar, it's a horrible colour and I can hardly read it.

    Ever since I upgraded my Firefox to 4.01.1, everthing loads much, much slower.......I can go make a coffee while the page loads. Sometimes, it is soooooooooo slow, that it times out and I have to start all over again. Even when I sign on and load google, sometimes it takes forever.
    I also do not like the toolbar at the top. It's grey and hard to read, what is wrong with white?
    Can I revert back to the earlier version of Firefox? It worked much better. I use ancestry.com a lot and they even recommend a 3.??? version of Firefox.
    Anything is better, so I don't have to sit and wait and wait and wait.

    Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
    I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
    Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
    Thank you again!

  • After I downloaded Firefox 4, it said my system cannot run it. How do I get back to an earlier version of Firefox?

    My Mac is running OSX10.4.11. Where do I go to download an earlier version of Firefox (before 4.0) that is compatible with my system?

    Yeah, Firefox 4 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later. You can download Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html this download page].

  • How can I go back to an earlier version of Firefox?

    Firefox 3.6.8 often crashes when I scroll with the mouse wheel. I have had no such problems in the past, and I want to restore an earlier, more stable version.

    Version 3.5.11 is still available and has the latest security fixes:
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    However, updates are scheduled to end this month, so really we should try to get your 3.6 working.

  • I use the Norton toolbar feature that manages all my passwords. How can I go back to the former version of Firefox since 4 is not compatible?

    How can I go back to a former version of Firefox?

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 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.

  • Recently, I updated to Firefox 4.0.1, and the new version disabled several of my programs, including my anti-virus. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox?

    I want to go back to the previous version of Firefox, because the new version (4.0.1 I think) that I downloaded disabled several of my programs, including my anti-virus program, because they were incompatible with the new version of Firefox. How do I get back to the previous version of Firefox and re-enable the disabled programs?

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • How do i load and use an earlier version of firefox

    I need to reject V8 and load an earlier version please?

    Hi shutters,
    There is a Knowledge Base article called [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] that should have all the information you need to roll back to an earlier version of Firefox.
    Out of curiosity,what is your reason for rolling back? The developers are always interested in hearing about user's experiences with Firefox. You should consider leaving [http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback feedback] for them so that they can continue to improve the product.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How do I roll back to an earlier version?

    I recently updated my Firefox to version 7.0.1. Unfortunately it's generating all kinds of 403 and 404 network errors on the app software I use for work, so I need to roll it back to an earlier version (I believe I was using 6.7 before) as quickly as I can, but would like to retain as much of my configuration (e.g., add ons) as I can. What's the best way to do this?

    This isn't working well. As directed, I first downloaded the Firefox 6 installer; backed up my profile; unistalled Firefox 7; and finally ran the Firefox 6 install. All this ran fine, but when I then tried to run the new Firefox 6 install it pops an alert dialog saying "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    I couldn't find a Firefox process running in the task manager, and restarting didn't help; the same alert apears again when I try to launch again after the restart. I also tried unistalling and reinstalling Firefox 6 again (figured it couldn't hurt) with a restart in between, but the same thing happened again. I finally shut the system completely down (versus restarting) for about 5 minutes, but the problem once again presented after starting up again.
    So, how do I get around this? Is this a known problem? Is there a process (perhaps running automatically at startup) I should kill manually to enable Firefox to launch?

  • How can I roll back to an earlier version of OS 7 software

    Can anyone advise me on how to roll back to an earlier version of OS 7?
    I installed v 7.0 Bundle 2406 a few weeks ago and have had constant synch problems since. Most of these I have been able to fix by deleting 'problem' calendar appointments I have identified on the synch log. However, I have no idea how to solve the latest problem (see below). So I give-up and now want to roll back to ealier version which worked fine.

    Hello BobB10 and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you are having issues with your BlackBerry® Torch™ 9860 smartphone.
    It is not recommended to downgrade your software, however, if you wish to do so you will need to consult your mobile carriers download site at www.na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp and see if the previous software version is posted. If so, download and install it to your computer then use the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to install the older software version.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • I have Windows Vista and firefox 7 is NOT compatible with it. how do i change back to the earlier version?

    Each time I go on any websites, there is always double stacked writing either on the left or right side of my screen. Also, lots of other items have been disabled because of firefox 7 (like Adobe reader etc) and because of those being disabled, i can not play games online anymore. I did not want firefox7 because i was quite happy with the older version, but I have no clue as to how to change it back and how to stop from getting alerts about newer versions of firefox every other day. It is rather annoying.
