I want to download a previous version of firefox

I am visually impaired and downloaded 4.0 yesterday and it keeps crashing at startup so I'm guessing it's not working with my screenreader. I'm using Windows XP home edition. Version 3.616 worked great on this computer and I do have that version on my laptop but I don't have the .exe file so I'm not sure if I can get it to my desktop. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox or how can I fix this crash problem?

cmiller, there is a version of SiteLauncher for Firefox 4 available from the developers home page - http://www.donesmart.com/sitelauncher

Where to download a previous version of firefox?

I want to go back to Firefox 3.6.3 (last version that worked for me!), but cannot find where to download it from?
Firefox needs to make previous version downloads easily available, if they want users to try their iffy upgrades!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== With FF 3.6.6 upgrade, from FF 3.6.3 ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C)

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it works only for a few seconds then all I get is ding, ding, ding, I have to use task manager to close the browser. I need to know where to download that previous version of Firefox so that I can get to my email.

How do I download a previous version of firefox for mac osx 10.5.8 (leopard)?

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher

How can I download a previous version of firefox? for mac

I am a gov employee and only the older versions of firefox are compatible with our fedtraveler website. They list we must use firefox 3.0, 3.5, 3.6, 4.o, 5.0, 6.0, or 7.0 (for Mac osx Lion) only. The latest version 9.0 either does not work or is blocked for security reasons. I cannot find any of the older versions to download. Need help

Hey Marco99,
Sorry to hear about this limitation. There are a lot of benefits to running the latest version of Firefox.
If you want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

Where can I download a previous version of Firefox? 3.6.8 is sluggish and s-l-o-w on Vista 64

Firefox stalls for a good 10 to 20 seconds every time it loads a page. I get constant "Not Responding" error messages. This version has nowhere near the speed and responsiveness of previous versions. It is so bad I have had to go back to Internet Explorer.

Hello there.
You can download version 3.5.11 [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html here]. Apart from 3.6.8, 3.5.11 is the only currently supported version of Firefox. If you don't want to use the former, please use the later for maximum security.
That said, if you're having a problem with 3.6.8, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

How do I download the previous version of Firefox (3) as my system won't support Firefox 4 (can't find the older versions archives anywhere on your site).

I already had Firefox version 2 on my mac (OS 10.4) and tried to upgrade to version 4. Couldn't find any details on system requirements, so just went ahead and tried to download latest version. By the time the process informed me that it wouldn't work on my system, the old version 2 had somehow been deleted. Now I have no Firefox browser at all and cannot find any older versions archived.

I think you can run version 3.6:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
I just read today about a separately maintained, unofficial version of Firefox for 10.4 users called TenFourFox. They are somehow repackaging the latest Firefox to work on 10.4 (''on non-Intel Macs''). You might want to research it and see whether it makes sense for you: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

I want to download an earlier version of Firefox.

I have Mac OS 10.4.11, and when I tried to open firefox today it wouldn't do anything- no error message, nothing. So I went to this site to download it again, and all I could find was Firefox 4.0, which apparently is not compatible with my OS. So all I want to do is download an earlier version that IS compatible, but I cannot find anything that would allow me to do this. Does that mean I can't use Firefox on this computer, or can someone help, please?

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

How to make the bookmarks bar JUST text and without the "Bookmarks" drop down and make the other bar have text with pictures? How to download a previous version of firefox?

The option is to set text, text and pictures, or pictures but it affects both bars and how to get the old version back because I just wanted a stupid addon that I didn't even need and now is firefox just stuck this way. I know it's better to have the new version for security or whatever but the new features are bad for me personally I can't use this program how can I get the old version again please help. Or at least help me fix my bookmarks bar it was carefully made so I can do my work but now it has been destroyed and it can't get rid of the icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?

So if the bookmarks toolbar is fixed up you don't need to go back to Firefox 4. That's easy.
This styling will change the bookmark folders to blue (most common) and the few bookmarks to red. Most would have short names 1-4 characters. Install the "'''Stylish'''" extension and then the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dmcritchie style(s)] suggested below.
* '''Stylish''' :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
* '''Bookmarks Toolbar Fx4 Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks''' - Themes and Skins for Browser http://userstyles.org/styles/46947
'''Additional styling suggestions'''
* '''Scrollbar Menu''' - Themes and Skins for Browser - userstyles.org http://userstyles.org/styles/52
* '''Scrollbar Context Menu''' - Themes and Skins for Browser http://userstyles.org/styles/54
The drop-down at the end wouldn't be there as long as everything fits on the row.
:Once you start using styles you will really like them because you can control/modify/use them independently as building blocks as opposed to someone elses full theme design or extension.
I fail to see how the above is ''sketchy''
# Install the "'''Stylish'''" extension
# Install the suggested Style
The advantage of a style is that they are very small compared to extensions, and if you don't like they way it looks, you can modify it. Try to do that with an extension.
The suggested style shows folders in blue, and bookmarklets or bookmarks in red used as buttons.
The deiconizer extension looks rather hard to read, seems rather large for what it does, and it has space wasting drop downs which are meaningless, simply left click to show the folder.
''it can't get rid of the (bookmark/folder) icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?''
The Home button would show as text ("Home") with the style change, as for Refresh ("F5") and Stop("Esc") the keyboard shortcuts work better for me anyway and have never included them on my toolbars. I keep the Home button to the left of the Location bar anyway so it shows an icon.
'''For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox''', find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
* ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

How do I download a previous version of firefox?

I am unable to edit my website hosted by ATT. Their tech support tells me that is not compatible with Firefox 4. and that I should download & install a previous version.

You appear to be using Firefox 3.6.23, which is the earliest secure and supported version of firefox. You may not have up to date plugins, use http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ to check and update your plugins.
It can not be recommended that you try any earlier unsupported and insecure versions of firefox, that would put your computer and the personal data it contains at risk.
After you have updated post back, if you have problems with a publicly accessible site pleas provide a link, and explain what the problem is. (It is probably worth checking any forums or faqs relating to problematic sites)

How can I re-download the previous version of Firefox. I have lost most of my add-ons with 4.0 including my password manager. This is a calamity and I've changed my default browser from Firefox. Help!!!

The problem is very simple. As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4.0 I lost my add-ons. The add-ons were the reason I have been using Firefox for several years. This seems to be ludicrous. The new version should be able to manage integration of existing add-ons or the Firefox team should have provided the add-on authors with advance technical information before releasing 4.0 to the world.

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

Where can I download a previous version of Firefox?

I need an older version of Firefox. The new version does not support an add on that I need for everyday use.
I need RoboForm Toolbar in Firefox.
Firefox Version is 31.0
RoboForm Version is 7.9.8.5
This worked fine in previous versions.
I tried to locate a previous version from you support links but all I saw was a whole lot of Folders. I need a link to an earlier version please.

Isn't recommended use old versions because they have security issues. If you need an old version to use for a short period of time. try use a portable version.
*[http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./ Portables]
Enter in the versio folder:

How do I download a previous version of firefox. This website sends me to a page where I get the current one I'm using.

I can't connect to a different page from website links. I tried this on pogo.com and they recommend using an older version of firefox which I can't seem to get. The same thing happened on sparkpeople.com.

I want to download an older version of Firefox 3.

The site I want to use (azva.com) will only accept Firefox 3.0. I have version 5.0 and it doesn't work. I could not find version 3 to download.

You can download it via this link. Choose your language and platform.

Good luck

I want to download an EARLIER version of Firefox than 4.0.1

I hate hate HATE Firefox 4.0.1. It's got too many details I don't like to list them all. I want to simply install an earlier version. How can I do that / where do I get an older download?

Some user interface features are easily changed back. How about naming your top 5 wishes/complaints?
If that's too much trouble, here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information 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. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4.
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.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!
