I don't like FF v. 9, I would like to uninstall & reinstall v.8, how do I do that? How do I find v.8 on the mozilla site

I don't like FF v.9, and I suspect that my PC doesn't have whatever CPU or whatever that's needed to run it properly. Scrolling is horrible, it hardly works at all. It seems as though every function has slowed down.
So, I want to uninstall version 9 and reinstall version 8, which seemed to work better. How do I do that?
I would really appreciate it mozilla developed a "barebones" FF &TB. I'm not on FB, I'm not using Twitter, I just want to be able to use e-mail & surf the safely. i don't want or need all the bells & whistles that keep getting added on. Please take the time to develop alternate versions of FF & TB, one for those who want to continually "upgrade" their gizmos and do whatever, and others who want to just do e-mail, surf the net and not have to continually upgrade their hardware so it can run the latest FF or TB.

Hi.
I had some issues as well. I just uninstalled the Firefox 4 and reinstalled Firefox 3.6.16. Go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html for this version.

  • I went to the full screen and don't like it and need to know how to get back to what I had. Also, is there a good way to set up bookmarks? Like in a column on the left or right side? Thank you.

  • I have music on my ipod and a new library on my new pc and i would like to merge both together.  How can i do this without erasing the one on my ipod?

    I have an Ipod with alot of music on it that i have had for a while.  The PC i used to sync it to crashed and i lost my itunes library.  I now have a new PC and have already started loading new music onto it.  I now realize that the music that is on my Ipod is not on the PC yet.  I would like to know how to merge my ipod with the old music onto the new PC with the new music.  When i pluged it in Itues said it would erase the ipod and replace it with what is now on the PC and of course i said no.  So i now have two different libraries and would like to only have one made up of both.  Any help?

  • TS1398 As a truck driver, I don't have internet access, my cell phone doesn't support Apple yet either,,, How can i gain internet access on the road if I'm rolling and not in a stationary place for wifi?

    I recently purchased an i pad and have the internet at home, I am also a truck driver and once i leave home, I won't have the internet unless I stop close to where there is wifi, is there anything out there that I can purchase so I will have the internet at all times

    I purchased a Verizon MIFI 2200 mobile hotspot with my forst generation iPad almost tow years ago so that I could have internet access with my WiFi only iPad and my iPod Touch. All in all it is pretty reliable but as varjak paw stated above...
    "Either of course will be dependening on your being in a location where the carrier provides cell coverage".
    Like my cell phone - there are locations where the MIFI doesn't play nice with the cellular networks and it may struggle to find a good signal. On the other hand, sometimes my connection zips along quite nicely. Just keep that in mind - if and when you decide to purchase a mobile hotspot.

  • I don't like receiving updates availability requests everyday HOW CAN I STOP IT?

    HOW TO STOP CONTINUOUS UPDATES AVAILABILITY REQUESTS?

       There is a way to go back 6.1.3 if you do it fast. It's been done by some people on these boards already despite people telling you there's no way to do it but I don't know exactly where the posts were at. Apple is still signing for 6.1.3 as of now but it can stop fast so you have to act quick. It's an ISWP thing you have to install. Try searching the comments on the right hand side to see if you can find it. Try Googling it up and make sure you back up all data before doing it. I don't know if it voids your warranty or not. Apple doesn't support it. Also keep in mind that if you stay on iOS7 you will have to install iTunes 11.2 in order for it to sync.

  • I don't like Version 9 at all. How can I return to previous version?

    I want to go back to version 7, which had a better layout in my opinion. The bookmarks on 8 and 9 take up so much space and seem to 'stick'.

    Hey spiderwoman,
    There are a lot of benefits to running the latest version of Firefox. You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article with common questions after upgrading].
    If you still want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Downloaded iOS, don't like safari's new look. How do I get the boxes back?

    Now that I put ios 5 on my iPad 2, Safari has tabs instead of the floating boxes that showed the page. Can I get those floating boxes/windows back?

    No. you can't go back to the way used to work. It has been updated to use tabs now.
    You can download other browsers. iCab has a feature very similar to the floating boxes that Safari used to have - it is a variation of it but it is similar. iCab has a ton of other features that Safari does not have as well. You may want to check it out.

  • Film won't render. Error is like: error in frame 3490. How do I find out what is wrong? How can i find the frame numbers?

    Hello
    Who can help me? I made a movie in Final Cut. Not a special one, some text and that's all. With scenes from mu Sony camera, I imported. When i want to share the movie (to facebook, youtube, or masterfile), it won't work. It loads upto 57% or so and that it quits, and gives error code:
    the operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 3490 (error -1).
    And now? I can't find framenumbers? How can i find out what's wrong. I tried everything. The film plays well in playback. I just can't make a filmfile.

    Like Tom said, you can locate the offending frame by switching in Preferences->General the Time Display to "Frames" (that is how it looks in 10.1; I believe that in older versions the same preference might be in Edit or Playback preferences, I can't recall exactly).
    When this error occurs, it can usually be solved by deleting render files, or by replacing the clip where the problematic frame happened.

  • I am unable to download BetterPrivacy from the Mozilla site. I click on the button, but nothing happens. When I move the cusor away from the button, the URL on the bottom LHS changes to "Done". I am running Firefox 3.6.12.

    I have uninstalled firefox and downloaded it (using Internet explorer)
    and re-installed it. Still unable to download BetterPrivacy.
    Tried downloading BetterPrivacy using IE but although I reached the
    web page, no download button was displayed.

  • Plugin Check shows status for some of plugins "unknown plugin". Don't know what to look for once I click on "Research" button. How do I know if I have the latest plugins for these?

    The reason I checked plugins was that Firefox often took too long to open.

    This so called liquid damage that they are reffering
    to probably occured when I was working and had my
    computer on the desk...someone must have been
    drinking a coke cause when I came back there was a
    coke can on its side, but not exactly very close to
    the computer, and the liquid had seeped underneath
    the machine. When I picked the mac up there was
    liquid on the bottom of it, but only because those
    little useless rubber standoffs they put on the
    bottom of these Macbook Pro's was not high enough to
    be above the thickness of a water based liquid as it
    runs across a desk. At that point I promptly had
    unplugged the battery from my computer and the power
    cable and dried it all off. From that day no NEW
    problems had surfaced, the battery and heat issue
    had already existed.I didn't expect that any should
    because the liquid had only reached the bottom side
    of the computer and it was shut off quickly.
    Where was your desk?
    I think you should find the drinker/spiller of the coke.
    Getting electronics wet usually kils them, they aren't made water proof or even resistant.
    Logic board+super drive+batery=$1200 probably not far off.
    Some one owes you 1200 cokes and IMHO it is not Apple.

  • How do I stop firefox from attaching to and using resouces from my external hard drives. Why is it doing this. I don't like it.

    I cannot disconnect from external hard drives because firefox is using the drive. I really don't like this. Aside from being intrusive and inconvenient it seems spywarish or just plain data mining.

    Try the solution here: [[/questions/768100]] Why does firefox want to use different fonts on mounted hard drives
    Move all User fonts in Font Book to Computer fonts.
    # Launch Font Book (/Applications/Utilities/)
    # Open Font Book > Preferences
    # Deselect: "Automatic Font Activation"
    # Set the "Default Install Location" for fonts to "Computer"
    # Select all User fonts
    # Move the selected User fonts to Computer fonts
    # Remove all duplicate fonts in Computer fonts

    Subject: Error message when trying to install Flash 10.0.45.2
    If I remember correctly, there were two different installers for 10.0.45.2: one that did the checking for a newer version, and one that did not.
    The forum search is currently disabled, and I cannot find the topics that were discussed at the time.
    However, I still have the installers for the non-check version available for download on my servers:

  • Don't like FF4 UI, where can I redownload previous version?

    I don't like the user interface in FF4. Just because something is new doesn't make it good.
    The installation didn't give an option to save the old version so I could go back to it, I'll have to redownload and install FF3.
    Sooo..... Where can I redownload FF3. There aren't any links on the mozilla site.

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    I would not use Firefox 3.5, that has now reached its end-of-life and will not be supported with any more updates. To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
