How do I go back to my old version of Firefox. 4 does not allow me to use two finger mousepad control to expand or contract my screen. Also I don't like the lack of a drop-down arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

I don't like to have to click and drag to see the drop down history of the back/forward buttons - this requires two fingers or a double tap and hold finger motion. MUCH easier to click and release and take my time to pick the screen I want to go back to, then click on that link with a separate motion.
I especially don't like that I can no longer expand and contract the screen with two finger motion on my mousepad!!!
Generally, I don't see any advantage to the new layout - and I have a slight preference to having my tabs closer to the screen rather than above the address bar, since I more frequently click on tabs than on the address bar. If you want to improve the view I would recommend combining the very topmost bar which is part of the window surround with the File Edit etc bar (and please keep File, Edit, View History, etc separated instead of putting them into a dropdown). This will allow the viewer one more line of text on a given webpage, and eliminate the wasted space which is only used to identify the window as FF and provide the close window buttons
PLEASE help me go back to the old version. It was perfect.

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.

  • Firefox 5 does not allow me to use McAfee site advisor. How can I download previous version?

    McAfee site advisor is important to me and the new Firefox 5 does not allow it's use. Can you please let me know if I can use previous version of Firefox and how can I get download.
    Perhaps you could e-mail me when problem has been resolved and I can then return to using Firefox which is my preferred browser. In the interim I shall use Internet Explorer which permits site advisor Thank-you

    The McAfee extension was blacklisted due to be a #2 top crasher and McAfee has been working on fixing their toolbar for a month now and it may be ready in 2-4 weeks.

  • Windows updates gave me version of Firefox that does not allow me to have Text and Icon in Menu Bar, lost my autofill; how do I get old version back?

    Windows updates this morning gave me a different firefox: the Customize box includes fewer choices. No Text and Icon, which I want. Also, this new version dropped my Autofill.

    It wasn't Windows update that caused this, but Firefox automatic updates. It's the new Firefox 29 Australis, their attempt to look more like Chrome. They dramatically changed the UI, removing several features in the process. If the way it looks bothers you as much as it does others you can install Firefox 28 again by going here;
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/28.0/win32/en-US/
    That of course does come with the risk of security exploits they fixed with 29, so beware of that. I also don't know if it will repair your auto fill or anything.
    Otherwise if you don't mind the new look, keep using it.

  • Firefox RC does not allow me to use the zoom in and zoom out function on Apple Touchpad

    A couple of weeks ago, I tried out Firefox 4 Beta version, but soon I realized that Firefox 4 Beta does not support certain functions of the multi-touch pad, of the Apple Macbook I bought in 2010. The two finger scroll works. The three finger swipe to go forward or back in the web browser also works. But what does not work, is the two finger zoom in and zoom out function.

    In the address bar type without quotation "about:config" then hit enter. Be careful about what you type. I would suggest copy/paste.
    Scroll down to
    "browser.gesture.pinch.in"
    right click and in the small window under value type without quotation "cmd_fullZoomReduce"
    Scroll down to
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift
    right click and in the small window under value type without quotation "cmd_fullZoomReset"
    Scroll down to
    browser.gesture.pinch.out
    right click and in the small window under value type without quotation "cmd_fullZoomEnlarge"
    Scroll down to
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift
    right click and in the small window under value type without quotation "cmd_fullZoomReset"

  • The timekeeping system we use does not like HTML 5 so what is the latest version of Firefox that does not use HTML 5?

    We have been told by our timekeeping system provider that the latest versions of FireFox, Chrome and IE are not compatible with their websites at this time. I was told that it was because of the use of HTML 5 by the more recent versions of these web browsers. I need to download the most recent version of FireFox that does not use HTML 5. Can anyone tell me which version this would be?

    It isn't "Timesheet Next Generation", is it? We had a thread on that here: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961306 Websites using php and mysql stopped sorting drop down lists properly starting last week. Did something change?]
    Unfortunately, HTML5 is a large specification with a lot of parts that has been implemented in pieces over the course of several years. It would be really helpful if your vendor could indicate what EXACTLY is not compatible and then it could be researched. Otherwise, you'd have to use trial and error. Either way, you would end up with an older browser that isn't safe to run on the internet. It could be time to consider other vendors...

  • When trying to customise-organise the Firefox 17 does not allow the bookmarks toolbar to be placed above the tabs toolbar is there a solution other than reverti

    When trying to customize-organise the Firefox 17 does not allow the bookmarks toolbar to be placed above the tabs toolbar is there a solution other than reverting to a previous version of FF?

    # Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
    # Press the big button to bypass the warning.
    # In the search box, paste ''browser.tabs.onTop''
    # In the search results, double-click ''browser.tabs.onTop'' to set its value to '''false'''.
    Note: If you're using either Windows 7 or Vista with an Aero Windows theme, performing the above will make a large part of the Firefox window glassy. If you find this unpleasant, the simplest thing to do is to install a persona.

  • Where is the drop down arrow next to the back and forward buttons that provided a list of previously viewed web pages?

    before firefox 4.0 i was able to go straight to a page several pages back by clicking the drop down arrow, then clicking the desired site address. now i have to click the back button over and over until i reach the desired site. what a pain! absence of this feature alone makes me want to go back to version 3.6XXX

    I was also desperate no to find my arrow after updating Firefox so I did some research --which by the way is quite difficult when you do not know what to call that arrow-- but thankfully I arrived here fairly quickly.
    It saves me half an hour of research, so thanks ^^
    I never would have guessed that you had to right-click... I tried it a couples of times and have to agree with gk2011, it is not very convenient.
    Well, I suppose I shall try the addon then.

  • How to disable browser back/forward buttons from JSF

    Hi,
    I am working on one JSF based project
    I have a requirement where I don't want the application users to go back/forward using browser back/forward buttons so I want to disable the browser's back/forward buttons for my application.
    Can anyone tell me how to do that?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vijay Kumar

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response on this.
    My problem is that I am opening the new popup windows using setOnLoad Handler in JSF like following:
    getTmpBody().setOnLoad("window.open(\"abc.jsp?grantId="+txtGrantId.getValue().toString() + "&sunId=" + empDetails_Global + "&tmplNm=" + aggrTmplName + "&ctryCode=" + ctryCode +"\", \"Agreement\",'width=800,height=600,scrollbars=yes');return false;");
    Now everytime I am going to any other tab or page, I am setting the setOnnLoad handler to blank like
    getTmpBody().setOnLoad("");
    Now the problem is when I open a popup window and close this and then click on browser back/forward buttons, the last opened popup window again come up. This is the problem since I don't want last opened popup window to get opened again on the click of a browser back/forward buttons.
    This is a very urgent issue and I need to resolve this asap.
    Please help me on this.
    Thanks,
    Vijay Kumar

  • How to Disable Browser Back & Forward Button ?

    Hi All,
    How can I disable Browser Back & Forward button in ADF Faces ?
    If Not, I remember reading somewhere that we can call a page with NO Browser button and Menu using Java script, how can I code this java script within ADF Faces ?
    Thank you,
    xtanto

    You might want to double check this solution in your application. Don't think that when the user presses the back button it simply doesn't go anywhere. It does go back to the previous page and the Javascript causes that page to go forward to the page that was just left. You can see this by putting some "alerts" in your pages.
    These actions my have consequences in your application.

  • I had Acrobat XI Pro Trial installed on W8.1, and I had to uninstall it because issues with MS Office 2010. Now I try to reinstall Acrobat and It does not allow me to use the trial version anymore even it was not over. What to do??

    Well, I had installed in my new computer a trial version from Acrobat XI Pro, but I had issues with Microsoft Word 2010, since it did not allow me to save changes on my file. I uninstalled it from my computer before the trial period was over, and then, after I solved the issue with Office, I wanted to get it back for a time, but the installer does not allow me to choose Trial Version. I can reach that screen where you choose between key and trial, but once I press trial and click on next, it does absolutely nothing at all.
    I have tried to manually delete folders, and I even used CC Clean to make a registry set up, but nothing out of that is working for me at all, and it keeps happening. I have no really idea what to do, and I kinda need to use Acrobat immediately for a file.

    The trial can only be loaded 1 time as far as I know. You could try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, and reboot. Then try an install again, but my guess is you will have to purchase Acrobat at this point.

  • Change distance and size of drop shadow does not allow me to use the arrow up/down, or any of the effects windows.

    Does anyone know why I'm not able to use the up/down arrow shown above. This has only happened recently.

    You have two different blending modes on your layer that are neutralizing each other.
    You probably have your text on a separate layer.
    In the the Effects PANEL (NOT the dialog box) you have the blending mode set to SCREEN.
    In the Effects DIALOG box you have drop shadow with the default MULTIPLY blending mode.
    See the setting in the lower left of the dialog box.
    Object is set to Screen 100% ( in the Effects PANEL)
    But the Drop Shadow is set to MULTIPLY in Effects DIALOG box
    These settings are canceling out each other.

  • I have lost past pages drop down arrow next to bas/forward arrows

    To the right of the back forward arrows there used to be a downward pointing arrow which when clicked showed a list of previous pages view in that tab.
    How can I re install this please?

    ( Windows) right click the arrows and the listing will appear. The change may well be documented somewhere but if so I do not recall where. Presumably other OS such as Mac's will also have the feature using some other shortcut.
    If this solves your problem please '''log in''' and then click the solved button, the question and answer will then display in search results and should help others.
