I'm using Firefox 31.0, but even Mozilla tells me I'm using an older version.

I always update to the latest version. Even though I'm using 31.0 right now, I checked with Mozilla website last night and was directed to "upgrade" again. I did so. Today, right now while writing this a message in a green button is telling me to upgrade. I use Malwarebytes Anti Malware Pro, so I'm guessing that's not the problem. I use Yahoo! mail and this has stopped the new version and allows me only to use Basic. Firefox ad-ons gray-out anything that can't be used with version 10 or older. Yet "About Firefox" in the help menu shows version 31.0, latest version.
So, am I stuck with some old cookie that won't delete? I tried deleting all and that changed nothing, although I'm not sure I know every location where they are stored. The bottom line is that this is a real pain in the ass, because I'm limited on other sites as well, because something is sayin I don't have the latest version. Can someone help?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I downloaded and installed Firefox 4, but it won't open. I have used an older version of Firfox for a long time. I now have nothing. What gives?

I've used an older version (3.?) of Firefox for a long time. I had loads of bookmarks. I downloaded the new Firefox 4. It won't open and the older version is now gone. I use a Mac with a 400 MHz PowerPC G4 with 1.12 GB SDRAM and a 60 GB Internal Hard Drive. I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. I really need to recover the older version of Firefox or make the new version work.

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

How do I get rid of the "using an older version of Firefox" start page when I am not?

When I start my browser (Firefox 8.0.1) it tells me I have not upgraded, but I have (10) times.

Thank you!! I know i explained it wrong. I meant that my Firefox start page always says, right under google search, in the middle of the page where firefox puts there little wording. "You are using an older version of firefox, update now". I already have the newest version of firefox but even if i download it again, to 8.0.1, it still says i am using an older version on the start page!!
Thanks again!!

Keep getting a message that firefox is outdated but when trying to update the download is the same version in mac os

keep getting a message that firefox is outdated but when trying to update the download is the same version on mac os. The version is 34.0.5 .As soon as I launch the brwswer i get the update message.

hello dbajayo, your useragent (the information the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently mistakenly - shows you're on firefox version 3.6.
probably some sort of toolbar or adware has overwritten it. please refer to this article in order to reset the user-agent settings in firefox: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]]

Criteria or check when we see the error "You are using an older version of firefox"

Criteria or check when we see the error "You are using an older version of firefox that is no longer supported and may be insecure" on sites like facebook. Currently firefox 8.0 does not give this error but 3.5.4 does. What is the check performed by sites for this error?

Most web sites use the User Agent, which is sent in the header of the request for delivering the page. The user agent of the browser you used to post here is

i am a senior and I have mac ox version 10.4.4 and the latest firefox is not compatible. Can I use an older version of firefox and still be protected. My teacher recommended firefox but my mac version will not accept the new firefox. Please help. Thank you

You can still use Firefox 3.6 which will continue to get security updates for a short time. Download it here - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

I downloaded Firefox 4 successfully, but it did not incorporate all my info from previous version (history, bookmarks, tabs, etc.). How do I combine the two?

Current download of Firefox 4 successful, but it did not include info from the previous version such as bookmarks, history, tabs and the like.

I am currently using version 3.6.3 because it has all the information that I need to use the internet. version 4.0 did NOT incorporate all history and so forth (including tabs, bookmarks) when I downloaded it, as previous downloads had. I will continue to use the older version until someone can help me figure out how to merge the information from the older version with the newer one. The posted answer was greek to me and did not help.

I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported with the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the new version before using the older version?

I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported to input info from the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the newer version before using the older version? If so, how do I delete the new version and install the older version?

If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0.1 and have not been able to use my DigitalPersona fingerprint login since. Will this be added on or can you tell me how to go back to using the older version of Firefox so I can use my fingerprint login again? Thanks

I have not been able to use my digitalPersona v4.11.3826 (fingerprint login) since I downloaded firefox 4.0.1. Will this be incorporated to the add-ons or if not, can you tell me what the easiest way is to go back to using the older version of Firefox?

EgisTec, who now provide the HP Simplepass application, have made an update of the scanner software for Firefox 4, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/questions/814397

I can not get several apps to load on my i-pod touch and I even restored it back to factory. The message I get is that I need iOS 4.3, but i-tunes tells me I already have the latest version.

You can't install any application which requires iOS 4.3 or newer on a first or second generation iPod touch. If you still have a copy of that application compatible with iOS 3.1.3 or 4.2.1, import it into the iTunes library and sync it.

Creative Cloud - restricting use of older versions and forcing use of latest versions - NO THANKS!

I am a long-time customer of Adobe Products. I have a unique roll as a Graphics management position, while also functioning as our company's IT administrator. At home, for messing around, sure, creative cloud could be usable, however, in my fairly demanding work environment, we encounter issues like OSX compatibility, occasionally needing to work from a PC, opening files from 2005, and relying on a specific workflows our business has built on foundations like Distiller PDF workflows etc. When you force upgrades to newer versions, you dissuade us from being interested in the Creative Cloud platform. It's really a shame, because small businesses like ours would benefit a lot from a neccesary "subscription" so the newest adobe products are always available, where otherwise, convincing our company owner that a fairly pricey upgrade is neccesary because of a given set of features. If the features aren't something the owner sees as a neccesity, there is really no reason for us to upgrade, so we drag things out. For example, we are still on CS3 right now, and we will be making the jump to CS6 out of neccesity (CS3 will not allow us to edit old pagemaker files that have suddenly become our responsibility without crashing, where the CS6 trial handled it wonderfully).
The creative cloud is a nice thought that would overcome a lot of 'upgrade' obsticles in the long-term for those of us in the small-business venture, but the version restrictions are too harsh. In the accounting world there is a general rule that you can expunge data older than 7 years old, but if you get rid of that data before those 7 years are up you often find yourself in trouble. Software is often the same way when you work with such a wide-array of tools as the adobe creative suite provides. We essentially end up with what equates to a giant database of images, videos, and other files of misc origin and formats that we need a way to manage. If we encounter problems (Much like I did recently where CS3 would not open the pagemaker files) and know we can count on another version of that same software (CS6, in this case) to open those same files, then why would you ever want to take those options away from a customer? We will be paying the same fee regardless of what old versions we use, and while in the scenerio I give, the newer version of the software is the resolution to the problem, there is an equal liklihood of encountering a scenerio where the newer software wont allow me to open a file, but the older version will.
I just don't understand, what's the harm? You don't need to "support" those old versions, but they should ALWAYS be available for download and use on systems that can use them, ESPECIALLY in the style of environment you are offering where the old versions won't appeal to everyone, so it won't waste bandwidth or require a tremendous ammount of storage & serving on your part.
What gives adobe? I want Creative Cloud to succeed as much as you! But I need it to work for me!

Hi Fujilives,
I copied this from the Creative Cloud FAQ
Q:I am a Creative Cloud member using the CS6 applications included in my membership. Will I lose access to CS6 when CS7 becomes available in Creative Cloud? A: No, if you have downloaded and installed the CS6 versions of the applications, you will continue to have access to them without interruption as long as your membership remains active. When the CS7 versions become available, you will have up to a year to download and install them and they will run on your machine along with CS6 versions.
So we are planning to give users access to and the ability to use the versions they started with even after new versions come out (you don't have to upgrade) but it wasn't possible to include access to older versions with the launch of this product (that I'm aware of). But I understand the need for some users to have access to older verisons based on your explanation. I'll pass along your feedback.

Need to go back to using an older version for 2nd Generation Nano

Hello to all,
I was just told I needed to try and use a older version of itunes to be able to use my ipod in my vehicle (Kenwood DNX-7140). I've tried looking around and have not been able to find the "how to". Can anyone help me? Thank you and I look forward to your reply.

Sure. 
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar. 
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top. 
* To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there. 
* To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ 
See screenshot. Both top and bottom views are FF4.

I want to use an older version

I want to use an older version of Firefox . The one that I can use the Zynga toolbar and the Gamers unite Snagbar on. I have tried to find the old version that allows these toolbars but I can't find it ...Please help!!!!!

Okay from Ed's post at
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789712#answer-143800
it looks like you do have to go to an earlier version. Another alternative would be
to run two versions of Firefox each with their own profile.
You can 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. At the end of the install don't let the install start Firefox for you, instead exit the install, and start Firefox in your normal manner that should help prevent you from creating a new profile and then using the wrong profile.
When you learn that you can go on to Firefox 4, Firefox 5, or Firefox 6, you
may be interested in the following:

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)
