I do not want Firefox 12

Help please.
I am on my final warning before automatic update to Fx12 but I do not want Fx12. I want to remain on the superiour 3.6.28
How the heck can I stop it from changing.
If there is no way to stop it then for me it is bye bye Firefox and hello Internet Explorer 9.

I completely understand your situation - and frustration Hoggy & Pko. There are ways to prevent this from happening. Please note that some websites will force this check, such as the default "home" site for FireFox. ( http://en-US.start3.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official ).
There is, however, a way to disable the update message you are having. Other users having this problem have gotten advice on this support.mozilla.org page:

I hope that helps you guys too. I really is a shame to see Mozilla hurt the users that *really love* the classic Firefox look and feel. Tons of new developers have created their own versions already. There hopefully won't be long until we can start to replace Firefox - the same way we replaced IE back in the good old days. I weep from saying that...but that's the path Mozilla is laying for us - doing exactly what IE did which inspired them to make Firefox in the first place.

I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

Firefox doesn't update plugins like that. The worst you might see is a "nag" from Firefox after an update, about that plugin being outdated; and you can dismiss that "nag" by just closing it.

On many webpages, an answer is popping up while I complete a field. I do not want Firefox remembering what I type after I leave a page. How can I stop it?

For example: I was filling out a form on a website I had never been to before, which requested my e-mail address. After I had typed a few characters, a floating box appeared just below the form's field, containing one of my e-addresses (similar to but not the one I was inputting). I do not want Firefox to keep enough knowledge to allow other people to pretend to be me (even on my home computer).

Do the following:
# Open the Firefox options
# Click on the Privacy tab
# Change the History settings to Use Custom Settings...
# Uncheck the Remember Search and Form Data option

My tabs always open to a blank page. I want every new tab to open to my home page. Note: I DO NOT want Firefox to open with multiple tabs on my home page; I only want my home page to open whenever a click a new tab. How do I do this? Thanks.

I do NOT want firefox to load 200 MB EVERY time i start it JUST because it wants to load the last pages that were opened. How do I disable this?

I usually close firefox through the windows taskmanager with the "end process" command because it always becomes unresponsive sooner or later (i think due to website scripts that stop responding).
Anyway when i open it afterwards i have to wait like 1-2 min while it loads and loads and loads (150-250 MB ram) all the sites that were opened in the previous session. I do NOT want this i want to disable this horrible feature but currently that is not an option. Or is it ? How can I disable it?
I want my firefox to start up quickly without loading previous sessions no matter how it was closed.

im asking how to disable that not how to enable it ... in my "when firefox starts:" box ive chosen "show my home page" but it still loads stuff from last time because i've closed the program by ending the process in taskman. ... which i explained in the question but w/e thanks anyway

I do not want firefox to ask me if I want to return to a previous session every time I open it

I think every time I turn the computer on or re open Firefox I am asked if I want to return to a previous session . I do not want to be asked.

That can happen if Firefox isn't closing properly.
Try to use File > Exit Firefox to close Firefox if you are currently using the close X on the title bar.
See "Hang at exit":

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I do not want firefox to try and recover any web pages on start up. Ho do I do this?

Regardless of whether I manually shut down my web pages, Firefox always seems to be trying to recover pages at start up. When I shut down I never want Firefox to recover previous web pages on start up. Just my home page.

A likely cause is that you are first closing all Firefox windows and then close the Firefox application.
Some have reported that closing Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is still open works for them.

I do not want firefox as a default. a friend downloaded it an made it default. do i have too uninstall too change back too ie?

i do not like firefox as default, ido not mind it staying as a extra.

Use IE s own settings to make it the default browser.
Or from right click of Start then properties -> start menu -> customise
and select IE instead of FireFox
In Firefox ensure that Tools -> Options Advanced
ensure check firefox is default browser on startup
Is not enabled

I am trying to apply for a job online. The site is not compatible with windows 9. They told me to download firefox. I do not want firefox as my default brower. How can I download it and not have it my default browser?

I am not sure what you need typed here. The details are in my question.

When Firefox asks whether you want to make it your default browser, say No. If it does anyway, the next time you start IE, IE will re-assert itself as the default browser.

I do not want Firefox, it is accidently here, I want my AOL back & Firefox interferes, how do I get rid of it?

I don't know how I got this Mozilla Firefox icon on my computer as the main go to thing. Someone else used my computer & I can't get my AOL without going thru Mozilla Firefox now. I want it gone, it is not supposed to come up as my homepage or anything else. I want it gone, it is driving me nuts and interfering and even changed the way my AOL page looks and runs with all the stupid little check boxes each time I want to delete a single email. I want my AOL homepage back & this firefox thing gone, no offense. thank you, Breck

I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?

am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?
I have, on my HP laptop, running XP Pro, using Firefox 4.0, went under bookmarks to show all bookmarks. A window opens up that says library. I then go to import and back up, and I choose export HTML. I then move this file over to my new Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro I also have Firefox 4.0. I go up under bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import HTML. It lets me browse and I find the file on the desktop, I select it then nothing happens. I am not interested in using Safari. I would like to continue using Firefox. However, as an experiment, I followed the same process except on my Apple computer I opened up Safari and tried to import in the Firefox bookmarks. It came up with an error saying the file could not be accessed. I then thought perhaps the file got corrupted, so I went back to my Windows Firefox and re-exported the bookmarks again. Same problem. So, am I creating the bookmarks incorrectly on my Windows machine?
Thanks,
Kent

Probably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.
