How to go back to Firefox 3

I am not happy with Firefox 4 and want to go back to the previous Firefox version. I have several addins that no longer work. My tabs are no longer saved on exit. And it now looks more like IE and that was not a plus in my book. I like the uniqueness of Firefox and looking more like IE is a negative.
How can I regress to the last level of Firefox 3

I would also like to know. This is info that should be readily available... how to regress to an earlier version.

How to go back to firefox 4 lost java, plugins & acrobat in 5 firefox4 worked

firefox 4 was working just fine. I'm not sure what happened but it updated to 5 and everything quit working - Java, plugins and most annoying Adobe acrobat.
I try to watch a movie, ie weather channel, and it says I don't have acrobat so I download it and close/reopen the browser and try to watch the same movie and get the same error. I'm fed up. I want #4 back where I didn't have any problems
Improvements aren't worth the trouble if i lose the pleasure of using the program

Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
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 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 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.
As for your registration here on the support site, I don't know how you can delete it. But in the future, just use Google to find answers like this.

How to roll back from Firefox 29?

Existing thread has been closed.
I want to say that I too hate version 29. If I wanted Chrome I'd just use Chrome. The whole reason I use Firefox is that I prefer its interface and operation. At least I used to.
It's no use you telling me or anyone else that 'it's not like chrome' or that I might just not like the 'appearance'. It is 'like' Chrome and I don't like the appearance. The problem is also the ergonomics - I find it much easier to use tabs at the bottom, MUCH easier to use 'back" and 'fwd' buttons where they used to be, much easier to use square tabs, much better to have a forward button that is always present (even if dimmed) than a tiny thing you have to aim for like an archer, and that is sometimes there and sometimes not. It's much more difficult to find the tiny refresh button located in a place that doesn't suit me - why not have all the commonly used controls over there on the left where they are all in the one place and your poor overworked brain doesn't have to think "Oh yes I'm looking for the 'x' button so I'll look in the place that logically makes sense in the 'x' area" -- which sounds good, but it actually much harder than "I want a control, I'll head up to the top left where the controls are ... ah there it is".
This new layout is a triumph of overthought and a basic lack of understanding of how 'normal, non-tech' people work.
The end result is ergonomically poor, no matter what the many studies and much research says.
And why the need to change in the first place? Many of us use FF because it was what it was, and we liked it. What's with the need to change for no reason? If it works, stick with it.
The whole thing looks like a poorly thought out response to 'we need to update because other browsers look cooler/sexier/more curvy/something than ours, so let's update'.
Someone at Mozilla needs to appreciate that change is irritating in itself, requires substantial input from the user, and therefore should ONLY be used when there is a compelling reason. Which there isn't.
Gah :(

I would not recommend downgrading Firefox. Unsupported versions are not secure. You increase risks to your System and Personal data by using insecure software. When security fixes are released and publicised that also publicises the potential exploits.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Try the new design, if it does not grow on you there are ways to make it more like the previous version.
* See [[Learn more about the design of the new Firefox]] [[Common questions after updating to the new Firefox]]
* [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]] https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
'''One of the developers recently posted this explanation'''
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/1079955 MikeDeboer] said
Each setting you see in a computer program you use requires work; when a developer wants to build something new or improve something, he or she has to go through each related (hidden) setting and test if it still works like before and do that on each platform Firefox runs on. That's Apple's Mac OSX, various flavours of Linux and various flavours of Windows, including Windows XP. This costs time, lots of it, and that amount grows exponentially with each setting that's added. This comes on top of our work to continuously fix, improve and innovate Firefox. That's why we also removed the tabs.onTop preference. Awesome community members, who were unhappy about that change, created the Classic Theme Restorer add-on. They deserve our collective hugs.

'''Have your say. Note Firefox 29 is to some extent work in progress.'''
People helping here are mainly volunteers and users of Firefox like you and I. If you feel strongly about the new changes I would suggest you make a short comment and provide feedback on https://input.mozilla.org/feedback for the people who decided on the changes to actually see it.
Personally one of my major gripes is that the upgrade happens without prior warning of major changes, and then we are left in a changed Firefox trying to find out what works still. Sure the new features can best be demonstrated from the new version, but some prior warning with a chance to read up about the changes would surely help.

How to go back to Firefox 3.6? I cannot use Norton Identity Safe on Firefox 4 and I need use it often.

I was using earlier version of Firefox and it worked perfectly. Then I changed over to the 4.0 version and now I can no longer use the Norton Identity Safe. This is no good for me. I am now having to use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. I would prefer to use Firefox. How can I go back to the earlier 3.6 version which was just fine as it was. The 4.0 version is good also except for knocking out the use of Norton Security features.

I need to return to Firefox 3 because I do not have an Intel Mac. The Mozilla window telling me to upgrade kept showing up, so I upgraded. But now I can't find an earlier version of Firefox to download.

How to roll back to Firefox 3.6 32 bit from Firefox 4 64 bit

I am running firefox 4 64 bit on windows 7. However my remote citrix connection for work needs a 32 bit browser. How can I install a 32 bit version on my PC when my OS is 64 bit?

I can tell by your user agent string that you are using the 32 bit version of Firefox 4.0.1
Your user agent string is '''Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1''', the WOW64 part means you are using a 32 bit version on 64 bit Windows. A 64 bit browser would display win64 instead.
All release versions of Firefox on Windows are 32 bit, though a 64 bit version is being developed.

How do I go back to Firefox 5.0? I need to use Selenium IDE, which is not yet compatible with 6.0.

How do I go back to Firefox 5.0? I need to use Selenium IDE, which is not yet compatible with 6.0.

The link is to the latest update to 4.o which was 4.0.1
The 4.0.1 and 5.0 are two separate versions as installing 4.0.1 over 5.0 will just give you the old 4.0.1 as the end result.
The 5.0 is partially as a security update in place of 4.0.2.
The Skype extension was only for to make it so you can dial phone numbers on a web page in the separate Skype program right so if you were not using it then no need for the Skype extension for the separate Skype application to work.

My college has informed me that firefox 7 is not compatable with their online classes and I must go back to firefox 6 but you down load of 6 will not let me it is trying to force me to upgrade to 7 how can I get 6 back?

My school (Highline Community College) as advised me that firefox 7 will not allow people to use the (Angel) online e-mail system. I need to stay in contact with my teachers. They said don't get firefox 7 but I already have it. They said go back to firefox 6 which they even provide a link for but when you upload it it says this is an old system click here to get 7. I already have 7 and know it will not work. How can I get 6 back.

I have the same problem. It was literally snuck in as a simple update and suddenly I couldn't upload any of my assignments. You can get rid of 7 by going to control panel and removing the Mozilla file. then look for the FF 6 upload. I warn you though. It REALLY wants to be 7. Don't allow any updates to happen or you will be in the same position.
I like Firefox and it is truly disappointing that they would force this situation. My nest step is back to IE 8 which wants to be 9. Arghh!

How can I disable thefirefox 4 beta and go back to firefox 3

I find that i extremely dislike this firefox 4 beta and want to go back to the way my firefox was before I installed it. If it is something I have to do with my computers hard drive then fine.

You can uninstall Firefox 4 Beta 12 and get Firefox 3.6.14.
However, I do not recommend to switch back to Firefox 3.6 because Firefox 4 will get shipped in March and after 6 months Firefox 3.x will be discontinued. Another solution is to ask how to fix the problems faced by you using Firefox 4.
