How to dowload an older version

I am not technie-oriented. I want to download v.30 (actually I'd really rather go back to 28), but I have no clue how to do it. I tried copying the files from another computer to my new computer last night and got it set up and this morning its gone!
I found these two links
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox
and
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/998480
but all the explanations look like Greek (or Geek, lol) to me.
I cannot find step by step download for dummies instructions.
I got to the versions site
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/30.0/
selected a version and found a bunch of files. But there is no 'download' button :-(
I would really appreciate it if someone could provide me w/the how to for dummies instructions.
I do understand that there is some risk involved, but I already downloaded v. 32 and found it awful. The font is so tiny and even tho I tried several different add-ons, including the classic theme restorer, nothing would increase the font or tab size. Plus it isn't compatible w/my favorite theme.
Right now I don't have any version of FF since the one I installed last night has apparently disappeared.
Thank you!
PS, I do understand that making FF secure is critical, but all the other 'aesthetic' changes are not all that welcome and some actually cause inconvenience in that it takes more hand/mouse movements to do what I did before in less.
I know ya can't please everyone, but it might help to offer more than one aesthetic version w/the security updates. (JMHO)

Thank you cory. I did try the zoom & the no squint. I even went into something I found on the menu bar that allowed me to choose a minimum size font. Using one at a time and in combination, I got larger font everywhere but the tabs, which is where I really need it. Plus there was distortion in that the larger font (tried 13, 16 & 18) overlapped whatever it was near. I never could find anything that increased the size of the tabs to what they used to be in v. 30.
Thank you for the link. I will try it now and let you know what happens.
edmeister, thank you for your reply. I have been using FF since pre v. 3.6. I REALLY liked FF, (mostly v. 3.6 & 24. 28 was ok w/a bunch of add-ons to make it like the older versions). I would prefer to stay with FF because of its speed. And to be honest, I'm in the middle of setting up a new computer and don't want to have to take the time to familiarize myself w/a new browser.
I also liked FF's simplicity and ease of modification. But they keep changing things and it's not so simple or even recognizable any more. And it's becoming time-consuming to modify. We now need more & more add-ons in order to get it back to the way we liked and were familiar with. BTW, (I have read many, many comments in the FF forums that reflect this.)
The more add-ons we have to use, the slower FF becomes. Plus they don't always do what they say they do and/or don't always instruct how to modify. I detest IE because it's even slower and less customizable than FF has become. And I refuse to use chrome because it is too invasive (I.e. privacy-wise).
I just want the old easy to use, faster, less cumbersome FF back!
Something Mozilla designers/programmers might want to consider is that there are many people with some kind of vision impairment. And with the increasing baby boomer population comes eye and joint related issues.
Soooooooooooooo, having a way to make the menu, tool bars & tabs & their font size (which get tinier and tinier) larger would be a great boon to all.
Plus when programmers design things to be improved and it takes the end user more mouse/hand movements than what they used to be able to do in less, then that is contributing to repetitive motion injuries which affect the fingers, hands, wrists, neck, etc. And this doesn't just affect baby boomers; it affects everyone.
And yes, I have sent my comments in before, but not sure it has hand any affect.

    Hi johnd83157268,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Could you please let me know what changes have you made in the registry.
    You might need to uninstall Adobe Reader from Control Panel and try install it again from the following link:
    Adobe Reader Install for all versions
    Please ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt installation.
    Try again and then let me know.

    Go to Solution.

    If you're looking to get a more through uninstall, then Revo Uninstaller is a good way to go. That will run the regular NI uninstallers and then search for leftover registry entries and files. You can also use MSI Blast.

  • How do I download older versions of apps for my iPod?

    How do I download older versions of apps which I purchased for my iPod Touch to my computer?  I am using iOS 4.2.1 and many apps have been updated to no longer work on older iPods.  I know I need to go to the iTunes store but there isn´t a navigation from there.

    You can't download them; you can only sync previously downloaded copies from your iTunes library.

  • How do I install older version of iTunes on my computer?

    I have a new windows laptop and would like to install the older version of iTunes, since there are so many problems with the new one. I tried installing the latest version and correct the problems with it, but after hours of frustration and reading and trying this and that, nothing is working for me! I give up and just want the old iTunes, or please tell me how soon will a new trouble free version be available?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turing off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.
    Or see the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates and try the tip about rolling back to the most recent version of iTunes that worked for you.

  • Since updating I can't click on horizontally placed links, buttons etc have uninstalled and reinstalled still doing it. Cant even see how to get an older version that did work and have run a virus check. explorer works

    Firefox was automatically updated to 7 and now all the websites I go on the horizontal active things you would click on will not do anything. eg in ebay I can't access "My ebay" and in facebook can't click on my profile or messages, in Flickr I can't click on "Your Photostream" which means I can't use it. I tried explorer and all these work so it has to be firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled and ran a complete system virus check on top of the active ongoing one and nothing no change. I am at a loss what to do now. A relative suggested downloading an older version that worked but I can't even see how to do that. I would appreciate help so I could use firefox as in the meantime I am stuck with exporer which I hate. Thanks

    This issue can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar extension

  • How do I open older versions of Pages in Maverick?

    All my work is saved in the older version of iWorks (Pages).  This new Maverick won't open it.  I have been able to open my older photos with iPhoto Library Upgrader but need to know how to open my older documents in Pages.   Is there an app or program for that?  I'm a novice at all this, so please consider that when replying
    Thanks!

    What specific version is the “older” iWorks (Pages) that you refer too? Pages > About Pages. Mavericks is the operating system, and has nothing to do with whether you can open Pages documents or not.
    Pages documents produced by Pages ’08 (v3.03) or earlier are not supported in Pages v5. Neither are any RTF documents. These will have to be exported to Word (.doc) format before opening in Pages v5.
    Due to the new document architecture, and 110 missing features/functionality in Pages v5.2.2 that were present in Pages ’09 documents, it may refuse to open Pages ’09 documents because the original document template is no longer supported.

  • Run time errors on new java;  how do i get older version?

    i keep getting runtime errors on the new java version i'm tire of it i can't play my pogo games lol. how do i get an older version of java?

    Uninstall the JDK/JRE you are using (I presume J2SE 6.0). To do this : Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > then remove JRE 6.0 and JDK 6.0.
    Visit http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/previous.jsp and download the previous jdk that works fine for you. Install it and try your game.

    Look in your Applications folder. You probably have the old version still there.
    But honestly, the new version is pretty nice. It takes some getting used to because it does some things differently, but a trip to youtube.com will likely answer your questions.
