Hypertext link in email opens my previous version of Firefox, not the one I upgraded to.
Greetings, each time I upgrade to the newest version of Firefox I'm running into this problem. If I open the browser directly, it opens the newest version. If I click a hypertext link in my email, it opens my previous version and I get a message saying I need to upgrade. How do I fix this?
I also had this problem. After the hint from jsher2000 above, I checked the add-ons.
It's still called "AVG Safe Search" in the Add-ons Manager in Firefox. (Either under Tools/Add-ons or under the orange "Firefox": Add-ons (Or Ctrl-shift A)
I found AVG Safe Search disabled in my list of add ons, and enabled it.
Voila, the icons now appeared in the searches!

after i downloaded firefox 4.o.1 i have no longer been able to use my VPN which i need frequently for work. it worked fine with the previous version of firefox.
Can you describe in a little more detail which part isn't working? For example, is the VPN not starting up when you start Firefox, or is Firefox not able to use the VPN tunnel?
If we can't solve it, 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
You could install Firefox 3.6 over Firefox 4 (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.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself! -
How do I open a previous version Numbers file in the current version of Numbers?
I get a window that says the file is too old to open in my current version. I no longer have previous versions installed.
It seems very strange that current versions will not open legacy files.
Why is this?
How do I fix it?Hi Alvalyn,
iOS 7.1? what version of Numbers? I am going to assume you are trying to open an '08 Doc in Numbers 3. You need '09 to do that. If you can't find it in purchase history you can probably still purchase it. What I did was download a trial version and it served me to bring my files up to date.

I'm encountering some sites that don't support Safari so I have to download Firefox. But I use Mac OS 10.5.8 and so I'd need an earlier version than the one available on your site for download. Can you help?
All of the earlier version are sorted here:
[http://ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Firefox All Releases]
However I think your OS is supported, too. Check here:
* [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/ FF System Requirements]
IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't forget that the previous versions have security problems. For the latest security updates you MUST upgrade to latest version. That's what I STRONGLY recommend. Thanks!

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

I want to go back to the previous version of Firefox, because the new version (4.0.1 I think) that I downloaded disabled several of my programs, including my anti-virus program, because they were incompatible with the new version of Firefox. How do I get back to the previous version of Firefox and re-enable the disabled programs?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily. -
E-bray is a reader that allows me to easily read the college's Library's selection of electronic media. I am running version 5.0 of Firefox and the other version worked fine. It may have been version 3, I think. I have version 3 in my download. Can I load this version back onto my lap or will this really mess things up?

Hello,
Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.
Fustrated APPLE customer
Jolly A. RuppI also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message. It is more convenient for me to play videos in Quicktime since iTunes is such a memory hog. Please help.
You may get better results if you switch to this alternate version: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and, if needed, reinstall QuickTime. The new (nearly) all 64-bit version doesn't seem to play well with QuickTime. Perhaps if DRM authentication is required QuickTime needs to be able to see something that is part of the older 32-bit code.

I have an email account at a university where I am teaching. My email address there is [email protected] . With the previous version of Firefox I was able to access my email account. After I installed Firefox 4, I no longer have access to this account. Instead I get a message telling me to reload from my browser, but I cannot see how to do this. I need to have access to this email account from my desktop computer, and so I was thinking of uninstalling Firefox 4. Also, on another website that I use as my home page, which is www.marketamerica.com/signewaller , I had it set up to automatically remember my username and password when going to my "back office" from that site, but now after installing Firefox 4 I have to retype my username and password.
Thanks for the help.

Images (actually graphics) loaded fine in the previous version of firefox, but now do not open in firefox 5. It is our business' website. it opens and looks fine in explorer and other browsers. However, please goto www.trinitystone.biz (using Firefox 5)and look at how the top menu bar has a black box surrounding it and the bottom menu also has this black bar. It is not supposed to be there, if you view the site from IE, you will see what it is supposed to look like. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there? It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?
1. No, you haven't.
2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.

I frequently us a website called gerbode.net. This site has many files with the extension of .ft3. These files can be opened with a program called "Fronimo" which I have on my computer.
All the previous versions of Firefox would open these files directly from the website by using my software...no longer. Actually, Firefox partially opens the text portion of the file. Internet Explorer still opens the files just fine. ''''''I would rather not use Internet Explorer'''''' as I have been a faithful Firefox user for years.Going to Help>About, what version is listed?

When I open a previous version inDesign file (CS5.5) I see a blank page.
I have a problem opening indesign files. I have CS6. When I open a previous version indesign file CS55.5 I see a blank page.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
