I just downloade FF 5 and I hate it - I want my old version back - whatever it was. Websites take forever to load if at all - then error message. I lost all my settings. How to revert to LAST version. How do I know last version?

All my settings gone, my 9 most popular visited websites gone. AFter reading through other HELP questions, same thing happened when upgrade to FF4. I want my old version back - and how do I know what my last versionwas?

I don't know what your previous version was. If it was before version 4 then finding 3.6 or so maybe hard to find. You might run a search on Google for Firefox 3.6.
Firefox 4 can be downloaded here if you don't have in your download file.

    Eli,
    You can reset a Password (lost/forgotten) set on your Mac using 'Reset Password Utility' available with OS X Utilities tool. With OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Utilities tool can be generally found on a local hidden Recovery HD Partition if your Mac has one.
    To check If your Mac has got a local hidden Recovery HD Partition, start your Mac holding COMMAND + R buttons. If you hold the keys pressed enough and there is a local Recovery HD Partition on your Mac, you will be presented with OS X Utilities window.
    Click the 'Tool' menu item and choose 'Reset password'. Terminal window appears. Type 'resetpassword' into it and press 'Enter'. Reset Password window appears with User Account Names available on your Start-up Volume. Select the User Account Name and rest is simple to follow.
    One of the advantages of this method is that it does not require any Authorization method such as administrative authentication to reset a password.
    NOTE: If your Mac does not have a local hidden Recovery Partition on its system disk, you can create one using Disk Assistant application available from Apple. Search for the Disk Assistant in the support area.

  • Downloaded Firefox 5 and now each time I try to open, it asks me to restart computer.I did 4x, but I still get that error message. Tried downloading fromIE, but no help. Mark Anderson

    I tried to upgrade to Firefox 5 this morning. Now Firefox 5 won't open. Gives me error message, you have to reboot computer. I did 4 times, but there is no change. In a loop. I tried downloading ver 5 from IE, but still have the same problem.

    It just pops up saying Itunes has stopped working and then says it is collecting info about the problem.
    Good, your Vista will have been collecting additional information about those errors. Fingers crossed, that will give us a heads up on the cause of the problem.
    Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions control panel and open your Problem History. Look for recent iTunes problem reports, open them up and have a look through.
    Are they pretty much saying the same sort of thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical report into a reply here so we can have a look.

  • I was having problems with my Adobe Flash plugin crashing occasionally during my game playing on Facebook. After researching it on the Firefox Help site, I upgraded. It now takes forever to load, if at all, and loses the connection. What gives?

    The game eventually loads but now takes forever. If I switch to a different section of the game, it also is slow. It wasn't before I upgraded to the "new, improved" version. I was better off with the old Adobe plugin and putting up with the occasional crashing.

  • Just downloaded Mountain Lion and now Safari keeps directing me to mobile version of website

    For what ever reason this only happens when I go to one specific site (audiusa.com).  I have posted on an audi forum and I appear to be the only one having this issue.  Also, I can use the site correctly via google chrome on my Mac and PC.
    This leads me to believe that there is a Safari setting that I must be missing.  Any help is appreciated.
    TIA
    11" MacBook Air w/ OS X Mountain Lion

    This helped.  But for whatever reason, the "default" user agent keeps sending it to mobile site.  I changed the user agent to google (mac) and it works that way.

  • I have just downloaded Photoshop CC and found it installed two versions.

    I am using Adobe Creative Cloud.  I have just downloaded Photoshop CC and found it installed two versions. I beleive the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version.  Is there a reason it has installed two versions?  Can I remove one version as I am running a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine?

    I don't know if my issue is the same or not...
    I  updated Photoshop CC last week, and  now have Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014 in my applications folder. When I open a file created in Photoshop, it opens Photoshop. However, if I open another Photoshop file (by double-clicking on it), it opens up in a second Photoshop app (not the app that's already open)... so I have two Photoshops open at the same time. And both are CC versions.

    What version of the OS X are you running? Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac and report the Version back here.

    I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

  • I just downloaded Ilife 9 and now my Iphoto doesn't open. The error message says: You cannot open your library using this version. Quit and use the older version. What can I do?

    I just downloaded Ilife 9 and now my Iphoto doesn't open. The error message says: You cannot open your library using this version. Quit and use the older version. What can I do?

    iLife '09 is not available as a download - it is only available as a purchase
    iLife '11 is available as a DVD purchase and the compoments of it are available from the App Store (iPhoto '11 (version 9.1.5), etc)
    Exactly what did you do? And exactly what does the error message say?
    On the surface it appears that you are attemptying to open a new library with an older version (iPhoto '09 can not open an iPhoto '11 library for example)

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
    I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.

  • I've just downloaded Sophos (yesterday) and commenced the scan. It keeps stopping part way through, the 2nd time when it was about 98% completed after 4 hours!!!! I've had to start again. What could be causing this? I have Mountain Lion.

    You will be advised by people here that Sophos is "junk" and should be removed {...} Sophos actually works pretty well, in my testing, and so I would suspect that there may be an underlying problem with your file system that needs to be repaired.
    FWIW, I have used Sophos regularly for several years now (including on my new iMac running Mountain Lion versions 10.8.2 & now 10.8.3) & never had any problems with it on any of the half dozen or so Macs I have installed it on.
    Quite a few people automatically assume all Mac A-V software is troublesome junk, & many will leap to the conclusion it is the cause of some problem without considering other potential (& often much more likely) causes, regardless of which A-V product is installed.
    Obviously I hope, not all A-V products are alike, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to condemn them all because of problems with one of them. Regarding Sophos in particular, finding first hand reports of it causing problems is quite difficult -- typically, if you ask for the details it turns out to be a second or third hand report & there isn't enough info available to know for certain if it is the real cause or not.
    This is not to say it is impossible for it to cause problems, just that it is prudent to consider all the possibilities before concluding that any one of them is the cause.

  • What is going on with Apple? I've just downloaded their Mavericks and my computer is performing so badly, I'm wondering if Mavericks is some sort of diabolical malware! How can I get Mavericks out of my computer?

    What is going on with Apple? I've just downloaded their Mavericks and my computer is performing so badly, I'm wondering if Mavericks is some sort of diabolical malware! How can I get Mavericks out of my computer?

    What is your year and specs of your Mac Pro?
    How much RAM installed?
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and have negative effects on system performance.
    Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac?
    These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
    Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary.
    They really aren't.
    There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
    These apps potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
    Plus, the software company's that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
    It is best to never download and install these types of apps.
    The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!
