How do I opt out of this Firefox and return to previous version?

I simply wish to return to the previous version of Firefox at this time. I am not prepared right now to learn a whole lot of new information. I would appreciate your assistance in just taking one step back at this juncture. I will update later. Sincerely,
S. L. Yadon

On the one hand, it doesn't take long to customize the UI to match the appearance of Firefox 3.
On the other hand, it doesn't take that long to revert to Firefox 3.6, either. 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!

  • Six Strikes? How do I opt-out of this nonsense?

    I've heard that there's some new anti-piracy nonsense going on, how do I opt out of this to ensure my connection is not affected by this?

    As a start, if your Wi-Fi is encrypted with WEP Security (It is by default if you have any router that is not an ActionTec MI424WR GEN3 router, such as the Rev. G or I) change it to WPA2 security. WEP is very easily broken into and can be a prime target for those wanting to pirate if you have neighbors that like to pirate.
    In addition, ensure your computers are not running Peer to Peer software "Torrent Clients" such as Kazaa, Limewire (now defunct), Bearshare, uTorrent, BitTorrent, Deluge, Bitcomet, etc; or that the usage of them is not being used at sites that distribute content that must be paid for normally, for free. I won't name sites but this is more or less an education issue for anyone who uses the computer at home. Torrents are great ways to get data if used for the right purpose.
    If you do want to reduce the chance of piracy on your network, you could consider using OpenDNS as well. While it won't stop determined pirates, it will at least make folks think twice before trying to get to a site that involves piracy. As long as you make efforts to ensure your network is locked down and you've taken efforts to ensure that there isn't anyone doing anything bad on your Internet to your knowledge, then the anti-piracy folks don't have a case on you and can't have a case on you.
    As for getting out of the Six Strikes plan, you can thank your nearest media company (CBS, NBC, Viacom, Disney, Time Warner, RIAA, MPAA, etc) for causing the worry because they haven't adapted to the times. There is no opt out. ISPs don't don't cave to it will be sued to oblivion or customer info will be handed out.

  • Had the sudden appearence of a "books" folder that contains the Kindle app.  How do I get rid of this folder and return to just the Kindle app icon on the screen?

    I have an iTouch. I do not remember exactly what happened, but I now have a folder labeled "Books" that contains my Kindle app.
    Previously, I simply had the Kindle app on the home screen.
    How do I remove the Books folder and return to the previous setup, i.e. just the Kindle app on the home screen?

    Is there another app in the folder like the iBooks app?  Yu can move two apps together and when they combine and be placed in a folder.  Itunes will guess/suggest a folder name and you can change it.  If there are tow apps in the folder just go to that folder and touch and hold the an app and after they start wiggling mode one app out side the folder and folder will disappear if there were only two apps in the folder.  To stop the wiggling depress the Home button once.

  • Firefox 7.0 will not connect to internet - JUNK want it OFF my pc and return to previous version.

    Upgraded to Firefox 7.0. Now it won't connect to internet. I am able to start a previous version using "run" command, however, once started both of my email accounts must be logged into. There are some issues with bookmarks also. I need to either fix Firefox 7.0 (piece of JUNK) or remove it and revert to older version. No idea how to do either.

  • HT4623 How do I get out of this mode and reset both to sync?

    Plugged in my iPad to synch with pc.  After the process started, I noticed it said "syncing iPhone". Then when I plugged in iPhone, it didn'sync, but I could see the iPhone apps, etc. I set the Phone to downlad photos on next synch only, but when I connect, it says there are no photos to download.  I can't sync iPhone or iPad with PC.  It tries to download photos and won't go anywhere else...on either iPad or iPhone. I have Win 8.1 on my PC.

    Use Lion Recovery  to repair the startup disk if necessary.

  • How do I opt-out of recieving email receipts for free items from the store?

    Hello,
    Currently, when I download free apps from the store I will eventually receive weekly receipts from e-mail. While useful on purchased items, I treat this as spam for free items.
    How do I opt-out of this for free items?

    I'm not aware of any setting to prevent the Apple's receipt to be sent.
    If you bought a mix of purchase item and free item, the will appears on the same receipt. Instead of considering them as spam, you can consider them as "a way to recall which apps you dowloaded in case something wrong happen".
    Personally, I have created a folder called "receipts" and simply send these mails to this folder.

  • How can I opt out on the default setting for a split window in Firefox 3.6.12 ?

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12, the page opens up with two vertically divided panes. Each pane displays a different bookmark. The left pane is generally only about an inch wide and can only be expanded to about 3 inches wide. In that mode, it is pretty much useless and only provides a distraction. How can I opt out on what appears to be the default setting for a split window with two vertical panes.
    At this point, I am discontinuing using Firefox in favor of Safari because of this change in the default window.

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

  • When i click on iphone ine. how do i get out of this and sync normally?

    When i click on iphone in itunes it just comes up with option to restore from backup. how do i get out of this and sync normally?

    Found a setting in Google that was telling it to open all result in a new Windows which I was guessing that Firefox was overriding and open it in a new tab like settings suggested unchecked the box in Google and now the behavior is back to normal.

  • Sleep, Restart, Shutdown loop - how do I get out of this loop?

    I installed os X Panther on mom's older iMac.
    Tonight, when it's booted it comes up with "sleep, restart, shutdown" options.
    We've selected each of these 3 items, waited, then either woke it up, waited for it to restart, or restarted it from shutdown; however, again it will eventually show a screen that only allows her to select "sleep, restart, shutdown"
    How does she get out of this loop?
    Note: There is not option to cancel the screen that has "sleep, restart, shutdown."

    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    It shouldn't be necessary to reboot the computer to complete an update.<br />
    Download a fresh copy of Firefox ([http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html]) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
    You may need to do a clean install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • HT4571 How do I opt out of automatic monthly deductions on Verizon data plan

    What isn't clear is how do I opt out of automatic monthly deductions by Verizon after the first month of the plan? I travel twice a year and only need cellular service during those times.

    I've been searching Apple's forums for an answer to the exact same question (how to get month-to-month data on a Verizon iPad), and I have found it extremely frustrating to read (time and time again) the answer "Ask Verizon". I have talked with Verizon multiple times and NOT A SINGLE VERIZON REPRESENTATIVE was able to tell me the "loophole" below.
    From the Verizon Community Forums (I copied and pasted the italic text below from the linked posting):
    Start with a SIM card in the iPad, activate the service when you want to use it.
    For example, add the $20 for 1GB for a month plan to the iPad. (All plans auto-renew.)
    However, you don't have to "burn" the SIM card every time you cancel... when you sign up to add the data, you can go back in and hit the cancel service button (at any time before it auto renews).
    There are two options to cancel the service:
    1) Cancel Now --> This burns the SIM and deletes the account (so you get no more data). You need a new SIM next time.
    2) Cancel Later --> This SAVES the SIM card, so you can re-activate it at a later point. It also allows you to finish using up the data you already purchased, and cancels the auto-pay. Next time, you can just go back in, and add some new data plan (and 'Cancel Later' again so it doesn't auto-renew).
    On the same linked-to forum page, someone replied with this:
    And I have been doing this precisely. I don't like the auto-pay so after I pay for the data service I always hit cancel later button on my device and just manually charge it once a month when I need it. Bear in mind that if you do the Cancel later, that you have within 5 month to reactivate it again otherwise it will completely deactivate and you will have to get a new sim card. So make sure you re-activate before 5 month is up.

  • How can I opt out of Safari on Apple Update?!

    I personally hate Safari and don’t want it on my machine but I want to keep Apple update for ITunes and Quicktime. How can I opt out of Safari updates for good!?
    I don’t understand why Apple did this… its very annoying to keep getting this popping up on my computers!
    -Aaron

    +I should have said I know how to opt out of a single update+
    Okay, it sounds like you know about the "Tools > Ignore Selected Updates" trick in ASU.
    At this stage, perhaps the thing to do is to make an enhancement request (for the ability to permanently ignore types of update in ASU) direct to Apple using the product feedback forms:
    Product Feedback
    Since there's no form for ASU itself, probably the best form to use would be the iTunes product feedback form, given that ASU comes as part of the iTunes installer bundle.
    (Unfortunately, that's not likely to be a short term solution for you ... but it might produce some results in the medium-term, with any luck.)

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.
