How do I revert to my old version of Firefox? You know, the one that actually worked!

I recently upgraded to a newer firefox version and I am very unhappy with it. How can I revert back to my older version - the one that actually worked. Also I hate the restore last session feature. It raises huge security concerns when children have access to my computer.

What are the problems you are facing by using Firefox 6 ?? We might be able to help you resolve those issues.
Starting with the release of Firefox 6, the previous versions of Firefox (4.0.x and 5.0.x) are no longer maintained with Security and Stability updates. Firefox 3.6 is the last previous Firefox version that is still being maintained.
Firefox versions 4.0.x 5.0.x contain Security vulnerabilities that are known and could be exploited by some websites to gain unauthorized access to information or to disrupt critical processing. Only the Latest version 6.0 and an Older version 3.6 of Firefox are secure against these known vulnerabilities.

I can't replace an old version of Firefox with a new one that I just downloaded. It says I don't have permissions to do so, and the old version can't trashed.

I've downloaded the new version, and when I go to drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder, I'm prompted to replace the old version. When I do, it says, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to modify 'Firefox'." I've looked everywhere, and every help forum says to just drag Firefox into the Trash. I've tried that, and it says that Firefox can't be trashed. I don't know if this means anything or not, but there is a small lock in the bottom left of the Firefox icon in my dock.

Try to drag the current Firefox application to the trash if you can't replace it.

My Mac operating system is OSX 10.4.11 and I "replaced" my older version of Firefox with a newer one that does not open with my system. Can you send me an older version of Firefox? Thanks!

How do I go about deleting old versions of Firefox without messing up the latest version and access to Firefox after the deletes?

I have about 5 versions of Firefox on my macbook. Please advise as to deleting outdated versions after new installs so that I do not mess with the programme and lose access to Firefox.

Move the previous versions to Trash, I mean uninstall them.

I have created an Apple ID which has been verified but when I go to download a free app it reverts to an ols (alternate apple ID and not the one that has been verified. I do not know the password for the old Apple ID

I have created an apple ID whiuch has been verified however when I go to download an app mit reverts to an old apple ID and asks for a different password which I do not have. How can I edit or delete the old (alternate) password and ensure that it only refers to the current Apple ID when requesting confirmation. Note the old Apple iD is a gmail account and I read somewhere that you can not edit or delete gmail or me.com apple IDs? Is this the case?

Did you create a brand new account or change an existing Apple ID?

Just on website via Firefox - window opens & tells me I'm using old version of Firefox & should dwnlod nu one. Legitimate or not? ono

I was just on a genealogy website accessed via Firefox when a pop up window appeared and informed me that I was using an out dated version of Firefox and that I should click here to download a new one.
Is this a genuine request or a scam of some sort?

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
*Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
*Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
Note that the current Firefox release is Firefox 36.0.4, see Help > About
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 36.0.4 release in all languages and for all operating systems here:

Even when I download and install the new version of firefox, I get the messsage that I don't have the new version.

how do I know if I have the new version installed?

Hi janeginsburg,
Looking at your system details, you are running the latest version. You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. That page is no longer being maintained by Google.
You should try changing your home page to:
about:home
If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps

How can I get back my prior version of FIrefox browser as the update I downloaded 12-20-11 has NONE of my bookmarks & is ugly to boot.

Right after updating my Mozilla Firefox yesterday, a screen came up asking if I wanted to update my Firefox browser. It then described benefits of the update. It did not say it would NOT import my existing Bookmarks. After downloading the new browser I had NO bookmarks, or even a Bookmarks tab. Also there was a Yahoo! search tab which I do not want and an extra line of tabs that made the search result window below smaller, which I do not like. I would be happy if I got my prior version of my browser back with all my Bookmarks. Please help.

Apple sent me a new iPod touch to replace the one that stopped working. The new one has the same problem as the old one. Should I send it back?

I bought an iPod touch 4th genertion in August 2013. About 3 weeks ago, iTunes told me an update was available for my iPod so I clicked update. It then said it had detected an iPod in recovery mode and I had to restore my iPod. I tried to restore it when another pop up appeared saying an unkown error occured and it was unable to restore my iPod. I talked to someone on the online help page and they said I needed to talk to someone on the phone because it was too complicated to explain. The first person I spoke to on the phone could not identify my problem so she got her supervisor who said I needed to send it in for repair. I sent it in and yesterday I received a brand new iPod in the mail with a letter saying they could not fix my old iPod and this was a replacement. I plugged the new iPod into my computer to restore it and everything was fine. It said my software was not up to date so I clicked update and the exact same thing happened with the new ipod. It told me to restore my iPod and then said it was unable to be restored. They replacement arrived yesterday. Should I send it back?

What is the exact wording of the error message? It may be that there is a problem with your computer and is causing the problem, not a problem with the iPod.

How can I cancel my icloud account when I don't know the password that it has with my wrong email address?

My IPhone5 wants my password, but it doesn't have the right email address on it. It won't let me delete the icloud because it demands that I give it the password that icloud has stored. Please help!

The iCloud account is your account ? If it's somebody else's account then you will need to contact that person and ask them to remove the phone from their account.
If it is your account then see if you can get the password reset via http://appleid.apple.com
If you can't then try contacting Support in your country and see if they get you access to it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

How to enter SIM PIN on a wiped IPad when you know the PIN?

My daughter somehow changed her PIN on her IPad this morning but has no idea what it is! I tried to restore to factory settings, but it would not let me do this unless I turned off find my IPhone which I could not do because we do not know the password. I went to find my IPhone and tried to delete the device, but it would not do this since it was online. I decided to wipe the IPad so I could then restore it. That worked, but now the SIM is locked! I know the password to the SIM, but it just tells me SIM PIN locked please enter your PIN to unlock the SIM card. My problem is that the box does not show up to enter PIN. There is nowhere for me to enter it! I tried logging onto itunes to do it there, but tells me the same thing with no place to enter PIN. I am panicking because one of her Santa gifts for tomorrow is a digital makepver that you use with the IPad!!! Please help!

I use two ways - not very sophisticated
On my pop account, I set the preferences to delete mail on server immediately after download
On BlackBerry, I delete the mail account when I am near the computer and re-enter when I want mail

IOS 5.01 with my 3GS is rubbish - How do I revert to any old IOS ?

IOS 5.01 with my 3GS is rubbish - How do I revert to any old IOS ?

Thank you for your answers.
The specific problems I have make the phone unusable - I have no signal at home and I use a Vodaphone SureSignal box, which not longer works (i.e femtocell). I will approach Apple to downgrade, which is a reasonable request. If that is not sucessful I will have to buy another phone.
I will update this blog with my progress.
Thanks for your help.
