I don't like the new firefox version it disabled all of my add ons and downloads I want the previous version back...I truly REGRET allowing the update because it dismantled eeverything I searched hard for

I want the previous version of firefox b4 the latest download, the new ff..disabled everything I need to have my computer function as an as needed basis...

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

  • Firefox with one tab open takes up 72 Mb. I disabled all of my Add-ons. How do I solve this?

    I disabled all of my add-ons and my Firefox theme is the default that comes with the download.
    I cleared my Cache every time I start Firefox up, and I set my internet history to automatically become deleted once I close my Firefox.
    The problem is that despite all of my add-ons being disabled and my internet history becoming wiped clean once I close the program Firefox, ***With only one tab open*** takes up 48 Mb.
    One time I had only ten tabs open and it took up 600,000 k in my processes (585 Mb.)
    This is driving me crazy as in I have been trying to figure it out all day.
    I used the Google Chrome Web browser but every tab I open up it creates a new Chrome in the processes and each process takes up 48 Mb.
    What is going on?
    I used Firefox 3.6
    and then I tried Firefox 4
    both did the same thing. What can I do to fix this?'''bold text'''

  • HT4865 I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    You can't use iCloud like that.  It isn't a general file storage service; it's designed to sync data across your devices. 
    Some options are to sync all your music or other media off your device, then sync it back on after you update.  Another is to import your photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them back to your phone after you update by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • I want to restore my old version of firefox and my security that was disabled as well as all my plugins, add ons, and so forth. How do I do that?

    I want to restore my old version of firefox. I also want to restore my security that was disabled and all my plugin and add ons. How do I return to where I was?

    The only fully supported and updated versions of Firefox are 3.6.22 and 6.0.2. All other versions contain security of stability errors that have not and will not be corrected.
    '''''"...my security that was disabled..."'''''
    Any toolbar that your security application installs into Firefox may have been disabled because the developer has not updated their toolbar.
    *The functioning of your security application should not be affected, just the toolbar.
    *You can try updating your security product as some security application developers have recently released updates of their products that are Firefox 6 compatible.
    *You can visit and/or post on your security application developer's forum to see if they can make suggestions for you or let you know about their plans to update for Firefox 6 compatibility and to confirm that your security application is still fully functional, just the toolbar is disabled.
    Firefox has a built-in function that provides one of the major functions of most security application toolbars. '''''Safe Browsing''''', the built-in Firefox component, will warn you when you try to go to a known Malware or Phishing site:
    *http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/
    *'''''Sample''''' warning screens:
    **http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/its-a-trap.html

    '''''"...all my plugins, add ons, and so forth..."'''''
    I can see many plugins that were not disabled; click "More system details" to the right of your original post.
    If any extension(s) other than Java Console (see below) were disabled, please reply with a list of the disabled Extensions and/or Plugins (Add-ons > Extensions and Add-ons > Plugins).
    '''<u>Java Console</u>'''<br />
    Unless you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages, you do not need Java Console. Java update will install a new Java Console with each update. Removing the Java Console extensions has no effect on the functioning of Java for web browsing. You can see, '''''but not remove''''', the Java Console extensions in Add-ons > Extensions. Java Console extensions can be safely removed '''''manually''''' by following the instructions in this article:

  • Can i exchange the new ipad that i bought yesterday even if i used and downloaded a few apps?

    Can i exchange the new ipad that i bought yesterday even if i used and downloaded a few apps? I bought the 16g wifi only from apple store and wants to exchange it to 16g wifi with 3g.

    You have a 14 day return period for iPad bought from the Apple store so yes, you can take it back for a refund and buy the 3G version instead.

  • Downloaded the new firefox 4, it disabled the ability to use my email client.

    I downloaded the new Firefox 4. It disabled my email client Outlook express. Tried all suggested fixes. Removed 4 and reinstalled 3.6 . Same problem is now carrying over to my older firefox. All settings to fix do not work. What do I do now?

    You are actually using a very old version of Firefox that was released in 2008 (Firefox 3). Go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] and download the newest Version. Install it. [[Install Firefox on Mac]]. This will update your Firefox, but keep all your bookmarks, etc.
    Also, Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].

  • Firefox 5.0 - two users different add-ons and plugins - are they not supposed to be in sinc or are the differencesok per each user? please advise

    not necessarily a problem, just inquiring. husband sends me web pages in a format that I cannot read and he tells me that he saved it as one of the "save page as" options - which I do not have multiple options just the one. there are some options I do not need yet are listed as add-ons. how do I get the add-ons and plug-ins more in sinc and delete those that we do not need. some only allow disabling not removing.

    As an addition to this issue, I have noticed that Firefox Mobile has done the same thing to these sites. It causes all the same issues to happen in the same spots. Some feedback on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    I am not clear what your problem is and importantly whether you are trying to ask for help with Firefox.
    If you have a Firefox problem can you explain what you need help with please. If the problem is with a new Windows 8 operating system you will need to find a suitable forum to discuss that.
    A websearch will turn up many suitable fora one possibility is
    * http://windowssecrets.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/66-Windows-8-Forum
    The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
    If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

  • I have disabled all add ons and extensions to stop adverts but everytime I log into my pc the adverts appear again? not happy :(

    since I updated firefox I have been HOUNDED by adverts. I read an article that suggested disabling all add ons and extensions but they seem to enable themselves again after I open my pc! I am very careful and always tick and untick boxes when I am downloading updating anything to ensure this doesn't happen therefore these add ons seem to have been automatically added by firefox during the update. not cool! the amount of adverts and the fact I have never suffered from such a pop up invasion in my life is becoming EXTREMELY annoying how do i permanently stop these adverts?

  • I downloaded the new firefox but it says it is not compatible with my MAC. Can I just go back to the old version?

    I downloaded the 4.0 version of firefox but when it finished and I tried to open it it told me "You cannot use the Application Firefox with this version of Mac OS X" ...okay so I didnt know that- it just told me to download it. So is there a way to get the old version of firefox back? I don't want to continue using safari if I can avoid it.

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • The new firefox changed my settings, i can only find my administrative account on my laptop, but i'm not logged in as the administrator.

    I am trying to attach files from my user account on my laptop, but when I try to attach them inside a Firefox browser, it only allows me to look at the administrator account and the documents on there. I am not logged into my administrator account, because I obviously only use that for the administrative things on my computer. I'm not sure what to do to change this, I've looked through all of the settings in my new version of Firefox (3.6.11) and I can't find anywhere to change those settings. HELP ME, PLEASE!?

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
    In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.

  • Will I loose my open tabs that I need to be open if I update to the new FireFox?

    I have many open tabs of tasks that I need to attend to or need readily available all the time.
    If I update to the new Firefox will I loose all my open tabs?

    Right-click one of those Tabs and select '''Bookmark All Tabs...'''. That way if anything happens to those tabs you can reload them all by a right-click on the folder that those tabs were saved to and using '''''Open All in Tabs'''''.

  • After upgrading firefox it gets hung up on checking for compatibility add-ons and won't run

    I still can't find an answer on any of the support forums and no one helped me when I asked yesterday, is there anyone that may have a clue as what I can do to fix this?
    I updated my fire fox on my MAC OS X to 3.6.6 version of firefox, everything went smooth till I open FireFox then the window firefox update opens up and about 1/3 through the process it gets stuck on Checking Compatibility of Add-ons and doesn't go any further. I have hit cancel and firefox opens but it doesn't open any web sites. I have removed firefox and re-installed and it is still doing the same thing. I have also let it run over night thinking it may just take a while and it never progresses, please advise, I am new to MAC but FireFox is the only browser on my mac that will open one of my business pages, known issue with mac for this company.

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
