  • Firefox 6 forces you to log into e-mail again & again, since you can't view an e-mail & simply close that tab.. I want to close the tab, not exit the function I am in. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    With Firefox 6, you can't close the tab you are in and remain in the program; opting to close one e-mail means you are forced to exit the (e-mail) program completely and then go back into it...this is ridiculous if you are trying to read all your e-mails...not have this issue. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
    Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
    Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
    If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
    No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

  • Specifically, how do i uninstall Firefox 4? (I want to go back to 3.6.16 ASAP)

    I love change, and I love Firefox. That said, I simply cannot stand Firefox 4. I HATE it. It has robbed me of all kinds of flexibility and customization and until that changes, I have absolutely NO INTENTION of using Firefox 4 on any of my Macs.
    Bottom line, I would like to revert back to version 3.6.16 and do not want to lose whatever it was that was being used on my Mac when I was running 3.6.16 a mere half an hour ago. Thank gawd I didn't upgrade to FF 4 on my MacPro running Snow Leopard. I'd be really pissed.
    So.... on the computer I am using now which is a Macbook Pro running OS 10.5.8. I would be grateful if someone could instruct me as to how, specifically, to UNINSTALL Firefox 4 (prior to my reinstalling FF 3.6.16?
    Thanks in advance,

  • How do I uninstall Firefox update and make my Norton toolbar work again?

    Norton has all of my passwords saved in the toolbar, and now I can access any of them! How do I uninstall Firefox 17 and get back to 16 so that my toolbar works again? (I already ran the Norton Live Update and it did not fix the problem.)

    I already ran the Norton Live update and restarted with no success. I have Norton Security Suite, not Norton 360. The only way I have been able to make this work in the past is to stay 2 or 3 versions behind on Firefox.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 2 weeks ago ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.5)

    If you have a separate FTP client, you could use that (link: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.3/win32/en-US/ )
    If you have email on the machine, have a friend email you the installer file.
    Else you'd have to use an external storage device (USB drive, external hard disk or some such).

    How do I uninstall Firefox for MacOS?

    Judging from your name and wanting to uninstall Firefox, you seem to have a issue with Brendan Eich making the decision himself to step down from CEO and Mozilla and not go back to CTO or another role.

    Check to see if the Firefox site has an uninstaller, and if not drag the app from the Applications folder to the trash.

  • How do I uninstall firefox 4 and get back to firefox 3.6.13?

    I installed firefox 4 to play applications in Face Book. It keeps crashing. I never had this problem with firefox 3.6.13. I can't get any help why firefox 4 keeps crashing in the middle of the games, this happens constantly. So now I want to uninstall firefox 4 and reinstall firefox 3.6.13 until I can figure out why firefox 4 keeps crashing all the time. When it crashes, it always says application did not leave a crash dump report or something to that affect. So, if someone could please tell me how to uninstall firefox 4 and reinstall firefox 3.6.13, I would be grateful. But I'd also like to get some answers as to why firefox 4 keeps crashing constantly. I've been at this for over a week now, and can't any answers. The stock questions and replies I read are no help what so ever.
    Thanks. I would appreciate if someone would email the answer or reply. [email protected] Every time I look for my questions that I have asked, I can't find them!! So I can't tell if anyone has replied or answered my questions anyway. So, if someone would email I would again appreciate it. Again, my email address is: [email protected] Thanks.
    The Box containing "This happened" I put Every time Firefox opened because the ones do not apply. But it doesn't happen everytime firefox opens, just when I'm playing in my games in Face Book, sometimes as soon as I load a game, sometimes in the of the game, and mostly when I visit neighbors.

    For uninstalling Firefox 4 see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
    Make sure you do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data" as that option will delete all of your bookmarks, passwords etc.
    You can re-install Firefox 3.6.15 from http://www.mozilla.com though judging by your user agent string you still have 3.6.15 installed.

  • Firefox versus Safari? And how do I uninstall Firefox?

    I've always only used Safari. Firefox has been recommended to me in case I have to reinstall OS X while on the road and unable to update beyond the 10.4.6 of my retail OS X install disk. See:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1897928&tstart=0
    I went to this Firefox link to download 3.0.6 for my G4 as well. (No problems, I trust, for me to install it onto our iBook which currently just has Safari.)
    Our G4 has on it Firefox 3.03b, a beta version that was downloaded for me by the Apple consultant who updated my computer a year ago.
    How do I get rid of this old, beta version to install the new version. Mind you, I never have used Firefox on the G4, but I figured I might as well test it out at home before we hit the road.
    I tried to search for uninstall Firefox on the link above (while using Safari) and I kept getting warnings that Safari was slow and couldn't do this (or something like that - I admit, I just baled out of the search and got off the site before I copied down the warning and I don't want to go there again!)
    Am I just asking for trouble by installing the newer version of Firefox onto the G4? Should I just uninstall the beta Firefox and stick with Safari?

    Yes, use AppDelete to make sure you don't have any left over components of the beta version. The components on the beta version for Mac OS 9 could corrupt your newer Firefox application. The fewer associated files on the drive, the better.
    Actually the beta version is for OS X; it never came in contact with my OS 9 which is on a different, separate drive. I wondered if it could possibly have done so on its own - since I recall when I was using only OS 9 and switched from whatever the earlier version had been to Mozilla, it found all the old bookmarks and just picked them up without my even asking it to.
    Looks like once you pay for AppDelete you can update it without paying each time? I assume it's as easy as it looks?
    Thanks again from the ever cautious,

    HI Mrs. H,
    Always good to be cautious! I hear you loud and clear.
    It's as easy as it looks. Reggie Ashworth wrote this application and you can download and use the trial version if you wish. http://reggie.ashworth.googlepages.com/appdelete

  • I had to uninstall Firefox because I can't uninstall blockandsurf spyware. What do you recommend?

    Some how I stepped in it. I tried Control Panel, TaskManager & RegEdit and it is still there. I had FireFox as my default browser & IE as a back up. Thiis only attacked FireFox. I uninstalled FireFox and it attacked IE. There is an option where you can run IR with no add-ons & that is what I'm using now. How do I get rid of blockandsurf so that I can re-install FireFox?

    Every now and then, run most or all of the mal-ware scanners.
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

  • How do I uninstall Firefox from my Mac?

    I downloaded Firefox to my Mac OS X 10.7.2 when a script I wanted to install wasn't compatible with Safari. However, now i want to uninstall Firefox, but when I drag it to the trash and try to delete it, a window pops up that says it can't be deleted because "the program is in use". Does anyone know how to fix this, or another way to uninstall Firefox?
    Thanks, Jamie

    As stated above you need to quit Firefox and then you can empty the trash with it in there (or relaunch finder or reboot will also quit FF of course).
    Note, if you want to remove all of the stuff FF installs then in addition to the app there are the following in your home directory:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox
    ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist

  • How do I uninstall Firefox and switch my bookmarks to safari

    How do I switch my firefox bookmarks to safari and then uninstall firefox?

    If I remember well you may hav a choice upon starting Safari for the first time to import other bookmarks. If that's the case you should trash Firefox after setting up Safari.
    If you can't do it then export your bookmarks from Firefox before removing it. You can trash the app manually, then you must trash Mozilla preferences (org.mozilla.firefox.plist) and Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Firefox, Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Mozilla, Users/yourname/Library/Cahes/Firefox. You can also use an application like AppDelete. When done you can import your bookmarks in Safari.
