How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29?

How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29? How to change windows installation and ubuntu installation so they never update after FF 28 witch was last normal speed normal browser?
Hello. I can easy remove on Windows FF 29 or FF 30 and its slower on fast computer. But its affected by millions of users. With FF 28 it was allways fast.
Why fast? I dont know but its SLOW Now any version after FF 28.
Since FF 29 FF loads and hangs very very slow each time loading, starting, or changing tabs. It is making problem for everyone and now everyone calls with help- "why computer is slow.. oh its FF? Chrome? Chrome was slow but now its not the slowest one?"
Very colorfull Example- one comp is 10" and its very very very very low specs. So it wont run at all.
Now on small comp we can try linux and FF BUT no matter what OS just couldnt get back with any plugins back normal speed. Since FF 29 its very very very slow and that needs to have a solution. Today came update and still unneded custom menu button and its slowness hasnt been removed (unnoticed) so it needs a fix so it works for people who are not just for browsing internet buying new computer and cant get any faster speed then Chrome since now theres no FF anymore.
SO- How to do that on Windows and Linux- installing FF 28 and making it never upgrade
OR even better- Making a package that already has this update disbled setting ON?
p.s. Should you first ask people how they like slow browsers before making fast one to a slow one?
p.p.s. i dont get how menu could be added by thouse who need it as an add-on ass allways and not presuring everyone who never touches any button.
p.p.p.s. your business was beeing neutral ngo making browser for people and not for making cloged systems so new computers could be sold by some company advice or infiltrated mole who will suggest such unneded feature as any other addons, but sticking it in for everyone.

Hello,
You can download version 28 from here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/28.0/
Also, you'll have to disable auto updates to remain with version 28 by following the steps described in this support article:

Hello alicelan,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with device errors. You may want to consider restoring your device to factory settings to resolve the issues you've described:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Restoring iOS software deletes all your data and content from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar info.
Before you restore your device
Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.
Learn more
If you get an error message, find out how to fix most update and restore errors.
If your iOS device with cellular service doesn’t activate after restoring, find out how to fix activation issues.
If your iOS device restarts repeatedly or isn’t responding, for example if you see a stopped progress bar or no progress bar, put the device into recovery mode and restore it again.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Thanks.You haven't told us your database version.
You haven't shown us the details of your table structure or an example of the data, or even how many rows is a "huge volume of data".
Without proper information we would just be guessing and that doesn't help anybody.

HT201210 how to activate iphone 4 after updating software to IOS 6?

how to activate iphone 4 after updating software to IOS 6?
please help..

Your friend did an unofficial unlock and it has now locked back to the original cell carrier. You need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of the iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked to. Then contact that cell carrier and see what the process is to officially unlock the iPhone and if you qualify.

Slow Equuim A200 - How to make it faster?

Help!
My Equium A200 has gone really slow. Keep getting not responding messages on internet.
Even typing this is very slow. Im not very knowledgeable about computers but do keep security updated.
Please help me if there is anything I can do.

There are a lot options to make Windows faster.
I can give you some examples:
1. Check the msconfig: start => run => msconfig.
At startup you can see all programs who started with the notebook. Remove the tick from the programs, they should not startup with Windows.
2. Defragment your HDD: click on my computer => right click on the HDD => properties => tools => Defragment now.
Defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation in file systems.
Which OS (operating system) do you use? If you use Windows Vista, install SP1. If you use Windows XP, install SP2 or SP3.
In my opinion Windows OneCare is not really good. Choose an other security suite. I use for a lot of years Kaspersky. I had never problems with it and the system runs fast.
To check how much RAM do you have, make a right click on my computer => properties and there you can see it.
If everything doesn’t help, you should reinstall Windows with the Recovery image from Toshiba. All drivers and tools are including.
But if you do this, backup your data first. The HDD will completely erased.

How to make Mavericks faster on an "older" MacBook Pro?

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro, 2.2 GHz core i7 with 4 GB of RAM. I recently wiped my computer and restored to factory settings because it was getting slow, then I upgraded to Mavericks and it is even slower. It freezes often and takes a long time to load things. Is there any way to make it faster or improve it's function?
