I had the same version of firefox before. but dueto a problem i uninstalled it. now i installed it again and i want to recover my old passwords.

i had the same version of firefox. but after adding yahoo messenger to my computer, it added a toolbar in my firefox and i was unable to remove it even after whatever i did. now, i got the same firefox and i very barely want all my lost passwords. is there any way for it? (i had a master password and i remember it)

Did you remove your personal data when you previously uninstalled Firefox?
If you did then your Firefox profile folder with your personal data including saved passwords was removed. 
If you kept your personal data then Firefox should have picked up that profile automatically.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

When I hit reply in hot mail... only about 1/3 of my old email follows me to the reply screen.... it does this only on my notebook but is fine on my desk top... both run windows XP and both have the same version of firefox

I have an ACER notebook running XP and a HP desk to running XP... both run the same version of Firefox... on the notebook when I'm in an email (MSN) and hit reply only a portion of my existing email will go to the new reply screen..... and when I try to scroll down it stops part of the way down and won't let me see the complete email, let alone add a reply at the bottom....
Yet my desk top works fine..... Help please.... [email protected]

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Where do I find the version number of the latest version of Firefox before downloading?

I must request permission to download Firefox at work and IT needs version number before granting permission. Texas regulatory agencies use Firefox and work only allows microsoft internet explorer. To use the agencies models and reports I need Firefox. The website for downloading does not list the version number. Where do I find the version number of the latest version of Firefox before downloading?

You can find the latest Firefox 20.0.x release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If you hover a download link the you should see the Firefox version in the pop-up at the bottom of the screen.

My mac OS doesn't support the new version of Firefox, so I don't have it at all now--how do I get back to the older version?

Windows right?
Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet
http://botnetchecker.com/
All clear? Hopefully. Backup your files to a external drive, cd or dvd, USB keye etc off your computer.
Run the sfx file on this site and it will burn to a cd.
http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system
Next hit your BIO's key and set the cd to boot first, run the scanner and see what it pops up.
If your all clear then create another Admin, transfer your files over from the first Admin.
See if that works, eventually when your totally over to the new Admin, delete the old one.
If you can't create a new Admin, find out who locked your machine down, like your parents or it's a school computer?
Likely installed spyware or "nanyware" to watch you.
Hope that works.

I cannot use any of the features in my email account since updating to the latest version of firefox although I have no problem in IE

I updated to the newest version of Firefox and now cannot select, read, delete, move any emails. Also cannot access any of the folders where many of my emails are stored. I have no problem with my email in Internet Explorer, all of the features work fine through IE.

Is there an extension that would allow me to choose Firefox profiles that contain different extensions and/or themes before startup (but using the same version of Firefox)

I'm actually looking for an extension... I would like to run a barebones Firefox, a testing Firefox (a couple of addons), a loaded Firefox, and maybe Firefox with different themes. (''Is this part of what different profile does?'') And I would like to select which profile I would like when Firefox starts (and when I want to change my option I just restart Firefox)

I don't think that you can do it as you want (restart Firefox with a different profile). 
You will have to close Firefox and use the Profile Manager to choose another profile.

Do I need to remove the older version of firefox before installing a new version? If so, then how much do I remove, and how?

I have an older version of Firefox and adobe on a Sony VAIO. I keep getting pop-ups telling me to upgrade, and also frequent failures when I try to use the browser. I try to upgrade. I go thru the download step, then try the run step and get a message "not allowed". I have checked and I have admin privileges, and I've turned off the firewall security software thinking that it's blocking the install, but nothing works. Does anyone know if the older software is causing this and does it need to be removed before the latest version can go on. Also, if this problem is resolved am I going to have the same problem with Adobe?

What Firefox version is currently installed on the computer?
You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If you have a very old Firefox version then you could consider to uninstall that version to clean up existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
Make sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Check the Firefox program folder and remove the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

I'm running the same version of Firefox on one computer in Windows 7 and on another computer in Windows XP. How can I make them look the same? Bookmarks is a button on the right in W7 and a tab at the top left in XP.

I am already running Sync for bookmarks, but I don't understand how to make Firefox have the same format at the top of the screen. I don't want to Sync tabs, so I haven't tried that option.

There is no bookmarks tab, expect you are referring to the bookmarks menu on the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help") on your XP system.
Once your restore your menus on you Window 7 system, you can get rid of the bookmarks button. After going through the 10 steps below your toolbars on your Windows 7 system will be more usable again and like your XP system, none of which has anything to do with Sync.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

the first 9 steps above are basic toolbar customization the following link is in step #1 above. (See before/after picture (.png) in the footnote)

 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
Before and after customizations, the following also includes [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4styles styling changes] besides rearranging toolbars and toolbar items.

My wife and I want to swap her 4s for my 4 while a take a short trip out of the country. We use the same email address for itunes but different for email. Can we just change our phone numbers and email addresses so we get our own messages?

My wife and I want to swap her iphone 4s for my iphone 4 while I take a short trip out of the country. We use the same itunes account but have different email accounts. Can we just change our phone numbers with our carrier and change email addresses on our phones so we get correct messages, with out disturbing our other apps?

The email is simple. Just delete her email acoount on her iPhone and configure your account into the phone and then do the same for her on your phone.
The harder issue is that to switch the cellular phone service you will need to switch the SIM cards and the two phones do not use the same size SIM card.

I had the same version of firefox before. but dueto a problem i uninstalled it. now i installed it again and i want to recover my old passwords.
