How do I install an earlier version of firefox than the download page recommends?

I have a new PC and need to be able to use the delicious bookmark add-on for work. I loaded firefox 4 and the bookmark doesn't work so I need to load an earlier version and can't figure out how....only see an option to install firefox 4.

If you check with Delicious they may be able to indicate when they will update their add-on for Firefox 4.
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 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 install an earlier version of Firefox

    I have installed Firefox 5 over my previous 3.6, and I wish to stop using 5 and install 4 instead. How do I get, download and install Firefox 4 to replace 5?

    If this is a matter of the toolbars they are 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)]
    You won't see much difference in 4.0 and 5.0, version 4 is at end of life (no updates)
    For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox
    * ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
    :or with the latest of version 3
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html
    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).

  • Version 3.6.14 has a bug & does not support Java to play Pogo games - How do I install a earlier version?

    Pogo games plays on Java - the last version of Firefox 3.16.14 has a bug that does not support Java - I have been instructed by Pogo to install an earlier version of Firefox. How do I do that?

    Firefox 3.6.15 was just released to fix that Bug.

  • Why won't Firefox 5.0 allow my Google Toolbar to be installed/work?? VERY annoying!! I would like to install an earlier version of Firefox to allow the Google toolbar to be displayed.

    I installed Firefox 5.0 yesterday and can no longer use my Google Toolbar. My Google Toolbar is the best organization tool out there and I would like to continue to use it. What is the problem with Firefox and Google?

    No doubt Google Toolbar will be modified to work with Firefox 5. Meanwhile a known method of getting them to work together is downloading installing and running the add-on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ compatability reporter]
    There are disadvantages to downgrading Firefox,
    * see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
    you now have to downgrade to Firefox 3.6 because Firefox 4 is not secure. If you do downgrade to Firefox 3.6 do not expect that to be supported much longer. (Firefox 7 is moving to the Aurora channel next week)

  • I want to download an EARLIER version of Firefox than 4.0.1

    I hate hate HATE Firefox 4.0.1. It's got too many details I don't like to list them all. I want to simply install an earlier version. How can I do that / where do I get an older download?

    Some user interface features are easily changed back. How about naming your top 5 wishes/complaints?
    If that's too much trouble, here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. 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 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • How can I install pre-V7 version of Firefox, I am not happy how the new versions work with some websites, in particular with BBC and C4

    The new versions of Firefox do not let me save favourite programs on the BBC and C4 (might be more but I haven't tried others), i find it rather annoying as previous versions worked great

    Thank you Swarnava. I actually need any version before 7 whether that would be 6 or 5 or 6.5 from and including v7 is a problem.
    Also I wouldn't really know what to do once I clicked the above link, I would need a more step-by-step

  • I have Mac OS 10.5.8 - can I download an earlier version of Firefox? The one on the site is for OS 10.6.0.

    I'm encountering some sites that don't support Safari so I have to download Firefox. But I use Mac OS 10.5.8 and so I'd need an earlier version than the one available on your site for download. Can you help?

    All of the earlier version are sorted here:
    [http://ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Firefox All Releases]
    However I think your OS is supported, too. Check here:
    * [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/ FF System Requirements]
    IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't forget that the previous versions have security problems. For the latest security updates you MUST upgrade to latest version. That's what I STRONGLY recommend. Thanks!

  • How do I install an earlier version of iTunes.

    When I was using iTunes 11.x I would get very erratic playback with some of my movies and I have posted about it on these forums with no solution. Then recently I experienced a HD catastrophe and had to zero the disk and reinstall the OS from the original CD on my MBP. The OS reinstall put iTunes 10.6.3 back on and my movies run perfectly again. But when I connect my iPad mini iTunes says I need at least version 10.7 in order to be able to sync with the iPad. Software update wants to update all the way to 11.1.0, but I am afraid the erratic playack issue will arise again if I do. I just want to update to 10.7 so is there a way to get the 10.7 update only?? Thanks!

  • How do I transfer bookmarks from an earlier version of Firefox to the present up to date version plus the Taskbar with File, Edit etc

    I downloaded 6.2 and the previous bookmarks were not transferred nor was the Task bar. How do I retrieve the old bookmarks and Task bar and put them in 6.2

    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
    Do you mean the Status bar?
    The Status Bar has been replaced by the Add-ons bar that extensions can use for icons and information.
    You can use this extension to get the Status Bar back:

    Which Firefox version did you previously had?<br />
    Firefox should still use the same profile with all personal data.
    Is other personal data missing?
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How do I install a previous version of Firefox? I lost all my Norton passwords and bookmarks with Firefox 25.

    I have a PC and use Microsoft 7. Myy husband switched to Firefox 25 and still has his Norton bookmarks and passwords but I received a message saying Firefox 25 is incompatible. What can I do?

    hello linda, according to norton the toolbar is already compatible with all firefox versions up to the currently released version. please run the norton liveupdate utility repeatedly & until all components are up-to-date. in addition make sure that the toolbar is enabled under ''firefox > addons > extension'' afterwards.
