I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back?

I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back? It said my tool bars are not compatible. I want them back.

That is the new appearance Firefox 4 and now Firefox 5, you can easily put things back because Firefox is customizable.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, 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 look like 3.6)]

How can I get the old version back, because this new is so poor, it doesn't work. My curcor doesn't appeart and can use secont tab.

If I have one tab open and I try to open other, cursor doen't appeart. And If I open youtube I can't write for the search box.
So I want the old version back, how can I get it.

First you'll need to download the old version from here.
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Once you have chosen your language and operating system type then download it from the list on that page.
Next you will have to uninstall the current version of Firefox by using the add/remove programs option under control panel. After the current Firefox has been removed you can then run the installer for the old version. Using this method will not save your bookmarks or any addon's/extensions so make sure you have a list of the addon's you want to get back and you can also backup your bookmarks from within your current version of Firefox prior to removing it.
Do note that some extensions that you may have installed were installed by 3rd party programs and they will not be reinstalled until the program that installed them has been either updated or reinstalled as well.

A user uploads a new pdf (using Dreamweaver) but still gets the old version back in browser.

She downloads the file from the site, and gets the old version of the file instead of the one she just uploaded. I tried it myself and everything is done correctly: the new file is on the server but download keeps displaying the old version. Dreamweaver ticks off the bytes as they are going upstream. I can RDP to the server and see that the newer version is there (by datetime stamp). She is using IE 8 if relevant.
This only happens with pdf, no caching is turned on in IIS6 - all content updates are instant.
I have gone in to the temp internet files and deleted the cached version of the file and emptied the trash (Win XP) but it still serves the old version.
This issue has been reported by other users, but I thought it was user error until it was staring me in the face.
My final verification was to upload the new document with a new name, delete the old document, and rename the new name to the old name - after that it delivered the new document
How do I tell the (non-tech) user fix this?
I've seen references to this on other sites (now that I know it is real, I dug deeper) but the solutions proposed mostly seem to involve changing the query string by adding somthing to the end of it.
This is out of reach of my user.
I can't be the first person to encounter this right?
And note that I went into the server... the document was uploaded, and IIS caching is off.
I was told by someone here (and I can't reproduce it in my office) that I should tell the user to go to Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | Internet.
Then tell her to uncheck all three boxes (display in browser, allow fast, and allow speculative)
But I don't see how that would fix it - remember that I deleted the pdf from the internet cache and that didn't solve it.
Thanks,

I've faced this before too.
I've tried many different approaches but the most reliable way I've ever found of handling it is to rename the new PDF each time (e.g. adding the revision date into the filename) and update the link in the web page to point to the renamed PDF.
Works every time.

Nor me.

Can i get the old version back cause the new one sucks

how do i get my old version back this new one sucks bad it keeps saying not responding and locks up i never had this problem till i upgraded

I'm not having any problems so far, so it might be a problem with your computer, or perhaps something went wrong when you installed the update. Or there could be a conflict with your extensions, or you might just have too many extensions. There are several possibilities.
Anyway, rolling back to a previous version is not recommended, and I've read that the only stable version other than 5 is 3.6.18. However, you can find all versions at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/. If you want to install an older version, another user named jscher2000 said:
"First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. ...
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program."
He was referring specifically to 3.6, but his advice should work for any version, I think. Including FF4. But again, rolling back isn't recommended.

Ever since updating to 6.0, my internet crashes, my app store crashes, EVERYTHING crashes. It's very annoying to say the least. How can I get the old version back????

I'm getting really annoyed that my iPod keeps crashing thanks to 6.0. When is this going to get fixed or how can I get the previous version back??

I had a iPod 4G and it suffered crashes after upgrading to iOS6, especially in the App Store and iTunes store. Safari often crashed as well, but it occurred same as before I upgraded.
My iPod barely had any apps on it, having only 3GB used of 6.5GB available space (I had 8GB version).
I got the new iPod Touch 5th generation a few days ago and it works perfectly. Never had a single crash running any app, game, or store.
This has led me to believe that iOS6 was primiarily for the new line of devices and not really optimized for the previous generation. Thus, I think that iOS6 may be the last highest supported OS for the iPod-4 and the iPhone-4 and 4S and future operating systems will not be compatible with the previous generation.

Ive inadvertantly updated firefox and i dont like it as now find it hard, or unable, to access the things i need. how do i get the old version back?

ive inadvertantly uploaded the new version of firefox and now cant find anything, despite trying, and i want the old one back... how do i doit? thanks

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
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

I downloaded Firefox 4 for my Mac running MacOS 10.4.11 and replaced my older version (because I didn't understand the meaning of the barred circle) and now cannot use Firefox at all. How do I get the older version back?

When I try to open FF4 I get the message it can't be opened because it is not supported on my architecture. I can't believe no-one else has had this problem. You must have a lot of internet duffers who don't really know what they're doing. I need to get my old version of FF back if I'm going to run it on my computer. I don't understand why an app as widely used as this doesn't have a pre-app that assesses whether one has the architecture to run a new version. You advertisement merely said OS 10, and "all systems". It did not specify a newer MacOS than my 10.4.11. Now I seem to be out of luck and will just use Safari.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

I have just downloaded the latest version of firefox and think it is awful, how do I get the old version back?

After getting a prompt on screen stating there was a new version of firefox available I clicked and downloaded. I think it is awful and either want to revert back to the old version or will try another provider. Can anyone help me get the older version? Will I have to un-install and re-install the older version?>

I downloaded 4.o and it booted 3.16. Now MAC OS can't open 4.0 and everything is gone. How can I get the old version back or get 4.9 to work. I run Imac 10.4.11. Thanks

I have no more details. That's I have. it just happened on the 4.0 download 3/29/11 8pm.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

I hate this new version of iTunes. How can I get the old version back?

Anybody have any ideas how I can get the old iTunes version back? This new one is almost impossible to use, at least the way I use it.

In the old version, when I logged in to the store, it automatically updated the podcasts to which I was subscribed. The new format carries no dates and very little identification so that I know what I don't yet have when I go to a new podcast. The music I searched for was sorely lacking; I know they have more Brubeck than what I found because I have done a similar search in the past and there were many more choices. It's just a mess trying to find what I want. I'm afraid to plug in the iPod for fear of this new program screwing up what I have. I don't want to have to reload all my music and reorganize it. It's good to know I'm not alone in my dissatisfaction. And Apple makes it very difficult to give them direct feedback. Most sites at least have a "Contact Us" option. I've gotten a ton of email since I posted this afternoon. Hope that wasn't a mistake.

I really don't like the new version of Firefox. Can I get the old version back while still getting the security upgrades?

I dislike the appearance of Firefox 4.0 for Macs. Nothing about it is intuitive. Can download the old version and still get security upgrades?

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Firefox 3.6 is still supported but I don't know how long for.

The new version claims to be faster? I beg to differ wslow as syrup and crashes something the previous version never ever did, can I get the old version back ?

Every time since DL'ing the latest version it has been god awful slow. Crashes and requires I restart my computer before I can use the internet. I did send the error reports through your system. MS claims it is not compatible with netframes and other apps. So I am wondering has Mozilla just become another unreliable product like some others that will remain nameless? Or are these problems going to be addressed as I am sure I can go back to Internet Explorer after some major updating.

I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

Ask your question.stalled 10.5 and update on my G4 PB and now Itunes won't open due to library created by nwer version, How do I get the old version back ? thankfully I don't have anything in it, having deleted everything for room for the new install.

I just installed 10.5 and .8 update, from 10.4xx, Original 10.5 Archived and installed, Now itunes won't, can't open due to "library created by a newer version error message,
How do I fix this ? uninstall ??? reinstall ?
I originally didn't have enough free space to intall the new OS so deleted everything/songs and some podcasts in itunes, backed up on another ipod.that hasn'r been updated so not missing anything, but now can't access\ another new(old) ipod and iphone (and not anytthing now) that wouldn't work on the old OS. due to not having the required itunes upgrade and not upgradeable on 10.4xx
Thanks in advance.

After reinstalling itunes like PowerBloodRespect said, go into itunes on your account and connect your ipod. On the ipod summary tab, uncheck the box to launch itunes when the ipod is connected.
You also might want to go into itunes preferences on both accounts.
On the Device tab, put a checkmark in the box to prevent ipods from syncing automatically.

ECLIPSE: How do I get the old version back?

I was working on a rather important program that I ended up losing because eclipse 4.2 does not want to play nice with the android SDK. If anyone can tell me how to get the Indigo back or better yet how to fix up Juno so android SDK will work again it would be great.

Look for the older PKGBUILD here:
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … es/eclipse
And build the exact version you want yourself.

I just wrote over firefox 3.6 with 5.0 for my mac OSX and discovered my mac won't support it. Is there a way I can recover all my lost files and get the old version back?
