How do I uninstall the 5.0 firefox version and then re-install a different version

How do I correctly uninstall my 5.0 version of firefox, so I can download a different version of firefox?

Usually you can install Firefox 3.6 over Firefox 5 without uninstalling. (Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.)
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 5.
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 want to start clean with no bookmarks or personal customizations.''
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 uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?

    Hi,
    How can I uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on a new system?
    I've got a new computer and I want to uninstall Quicktime Pro 7.4.5 and then install on the new system. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but a bunch of other applications have easy 'uninstall' functions right in the application toolbar. Why doesn't Quicktime?????
    Thanks.

    I've read that Q/T is not just a simple application but in reality, a major component of the OS. This is where it varies from other similar acting apps like WMV, AVI, FLV etc. To butress this statement, in a vague way, I remember seeing a graphic of the Mac OS when Apple was first pushing "X". QuickTime was in the same general area of depth in programming as UNIX.
    So, you might not want to delete all of QuickTime just the Reg Key which should/could/might put you back to the non Q/T Pro functionality and thence legal to install on another machine.
    Just be certain that the version on the new machine is the same as on the old machine or expect to buy a new $30 key.
    Cheers-

  • After I installed the latest version of ITunes I get a message saying I'm missing the SQlite3.dll file. I have even unistalled the new version and then re-installed, still same message.

    After I installed the latest version of ITunes I get a message saying I'm missing the SQlite3.dll file. I have even unistalled the new version and then re-installed, still same message.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • When I go to the crash report page the signature is null for ALL the crash reports. Is there any solution other than uninstall this version and try to install an eariler version? I don't have many add-ons and they never caused a problem before.

    Every since I updated to version 4 my browser has been constantly crashing, especially when I have a few tabs open. I need to give up on this version. My computer is windows XP sp3. Can I uninstall version 4 and install an earlier version and still get my add-ons? I don't have many, but xmarks and firebug are important to me.
    Now this form is malfunctioning.

    Try to uninstall the current Java version and maybe delete the Java installation folder (C:\Java) if that didn't work.
    You can also use the JavaRa Uninstaller.

    From which folder did you delete the extensions.* files?
    Firefox should have recreated at least extensions.rdf.

  • SSRS - How to display all the results from a query and then be able to filter the data

    Let's say I have a simple query that will return products name, ID, price
    SELECT pname,
    pID,
    price
    FROM products
    When I display the results in SSRS the user will (without entering any parameters) see something like:
    Product Name | ID | Price
    xyz                    1     $10.00
    .zzz                    10   $4,000.00
    How can I filter my results once they are displayed? For instance, Out of the results the user wants to see only the products where price is between $10 and $3000?
    -Alan

    Hi Visahk,
    Maybe I did not explain my issue very good. 
    I want the user to first see all results (without entering the price range) - then if he wants she/he can filter the results by price.
    As soon as I add 
    WHERE price BETWEEN @StartPrice AND @EndPrice
    to my SQL query, the user is prompted to enter a price range before seeing any data.
    -Alan
    Ok for that what you can do is to set allow null value property for the parameters.
    Then set NULL as default value for parameters in parameter properties tab
    and make the query as below
    WHERE price BETWEEN @StartPrice AND @EndPrice
    OR (@StartPrice IS NULL AND @EndPrice IS NULL)
    and then report will get executed without waiting for any prompt and user may change values at a later stage and rerun it
    Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

  • How can I read the active (plugged in) DAQs and then send that to the device name input on DAQ assist?

    You have do do programming.  That is what LabVIEW is.  MAX gives you all the tools to do everything you want and much more just program it to do what you want.
    Attached is a VI that I think does what you want.  I looks at all of your devices and returns the first non simulated one.  Apparently this list already excludes devices not connected to the system.

  • How can I change the message for an error and then cancel it

    Hi everyone.
    I am currently developing an application where I have to use a trigger (DAQmx). Now it can happen, that the user (who will operate the device later on) can activate the trigger without a valid source. After a timeout, he will get a quite strange message stating he either might want to wait longer (Error -200284 occurred at DAQmx Read). I would like to redefine this error.
    So if this error number appears, he should get a message saying: "Your request couldn't be executed, since no valid trigger signal was found".
    How would I do this .. Thanks for help

    Hi Somnatic
    There are different ways. As you describe it, you'd like to cancel the occuring error (-200284) and show another message. I attach a vi with a view ways.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I uninstall the Magic Mouse driver or downgrade it?

    I am using the magic mouse.
    However, I want to use one button bluetooth mouse instead of magic mouse.
    That old mouse isn't paired with macbook pro.
    I think the driver should be downgraded for old one.
    How do I uninstall the driver for magic mouse and reinstall it for the old one?

    Hello sure:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I do not think you need (or want) to play with the drivers.
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Disconnect the device (highlight it and use the little gear. Delete it with the minus sign.
    Now add the mouse you want into your system (gear and +).

    How do I uninstall the download manager in Firefox - all versions

    What download manager?
    If you are talking about the built-in download manager it can not be uninstalled, if it is a third party download manager, check the Firefox add-ons manager or the Windows Control panel add/remove programs to see if it is listed in either of those locations.

  • How do I uninstall the firefox 16 update from my computer? it won't allow my antivirus to scan for viruses and spyware!!

    when I installed this update it said that it was not compatible with my Norton toolbar, which I didn't think would be a problem. now I've got malware ads popping up on different websites and when I scan my computer for viruses/spyware, it always says there is no risks. I find that hard to believe. I just want to uninstall the last update (Firefox 16).

    You posted here with Firefox 17.0.1.
    Try running a Norton Live Update so Norton can update their Firefox add-on and get that Toolbar working again.
    That said, Norton doesn't do anything about Malware. You need a Malware application to locate and remove Malware.

  • I updated to Yosemite on my Mac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. How do I recover bookmarks, etc?

    I updated to Yosemite on my iMac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. It's possible I uninstalled everything Mozilla related. I'm not sure. How do I recover bookmarks, passwords, etc? I don't believe I previously had a username & password for Mozilla. I do have my Mac backed up in Time machine and also a Carbon Copy Clone.
    Also, I was able to migrate setting from Safari. Perhaps I don't want some of that stuff? Looking at the list of installed plugins, I have no clue if they're standard Apple/Mozilla stuff, or if they were selected by me/my family earlier in Safari? Are any of them a threat to my online security?
    Any detailed instruction would be most appreciated. I'm not much of a tech guy.
    Thanks.

  • I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and then reinstall it, but how do I save my book marks?

    I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and then reinstall it, but I don't want to lose all of my bookmarks. The actual problem is a persona that won't stay changed. We change it, but every time we close Firefox it goes back to the Persona we changed it from when we start up Firefox again. I was just planning on uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but, like I said, I don't want to lose my bookmarks. How do I save my bookmarks in Firefox 4?

    You could always remove/disable the Persona that you don't want. Go to Add-ons > Appearance, and then just disable/remove the offending Persona.
    Though, if you really want to save your bookmarks:
    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Which will open the Library > Look for Import and Backup > Backup...> and it will prompt to you save the file somewhere. To add them back into Firefox, go back to the library > Import and Backup again > Restore > Choose File... > and then open the file you saved earlier.

  • How do I uninstall the 9.0 version we hate it! I want 7.0 back how do I get it back again.

    Although we haven't had many problems with the new update we HATE it how can we uninstall the 9.0 version and go back to the 7.0

    There is no "official" supported way to do so. If you FULLY understand the INCREDIBLE RISK this poses:
    Uninstall Firefox 9 and DO NOT check the remove personals settings
    Download 7.0.1 -> ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/7.0.1/win32/en-US/
    Install 7.0.1
    You are MUCH better off explaining what it is you don't like...
