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!

  • 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

  • Is there some way i can download an earlier version of firefox?

    i need an older version of firefox because my virtual school is not compatible with the new version and i have a mac so i can't download internet explorer as a substitute.

    jenmcnatt, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • I have Mac OS 10.5.8 - can I download an earlier version of Firefox? The one on the site is for OS 10.6.0.

    I'm encountering some sites that don't support Safari so I have to download Firefox. But I use Mac OS 10.5.8 and so I'd need an earlier version than the one available on your site for download. Can you help?

    All of the earlier version are sorted here:
    [http://ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Firefox All Releases]
    However I think your OS is supported, too. Check here:

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't forget that the previous versions have security problems. For the latest security updates you MUST upgrade to latest version. That's what I STRONGLY recommend. Thanks!

  • 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?

  • How do I install an earlier version of firefox than the download page recommends?

    I have a new PC and need to be able to use the delicious bookmark add-on for work. I loaded firefox 4 and the bookmark doesn't work so I need to load an earlier version and can't figure out how....only see an option to install firefox 4.

    If you check with Delicious they may be able to indicate when they will update their add-on for Firefox 4.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can 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 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 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.

  • Firefox 5.0.1 locks up on Mac OSX Lion. How can I download an earlier version of Firefox?

    On many sites, I get the spinning color wheel when attempting to submit something. Most recently, it was the USPS change of address on the final submit page.
    I don't want to upgrade to 6.0, since several of my add-ons will not work with it yet.

    You may still have a Croatian language pack installed if you didn't uninstall a previously installed Croatian version and checked the Firefox program folder for remnant leftover files.

    If you download the full en-US version and install that version then the language shouldn't change.

  • I downloaded an earlier version of firefox because the new one sucks, but you reloaded the latest without my permission.

    new version forces me to use an intermediate step to load any file including mail. I cannot directly enter an url in the usual way, using the http (etc) line. My only cure so far is to use CHROME. If I can't use 3.6 without an automatic change being forced on me, I guess it's bye-bye. I only use xp because all of my computers are loaded with older programs.

    The new update is a hotfix. I would encourage to update as it fixes many security issues and adds safety to your browsing.

  • After I downloaded Firefox 4, it said my system cannot run it. How do I get back to an earlier version of Firefox?

    My Mac is running OSX10.4.11. Where do I go to download an earlier version of Firefox (before 4.0) that is compatible with my system?

    Yeah, Firefox 4 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later. You can download Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html this download page].

  • Trying to fill out the fafsa report for student entering college and they say I must use an earlier version of firefox, either 3.5 or 3.6, for vista, how can I download this?

    Just need to download an earlier version of firefox, either 3.5 or 3.6 for vista operating system. How do I do this?

    The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer than version 3.6.x. That is their choice.
    You can install Firefox Portable version to use only on that site and use your installed Firefox 5 for everything else. Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your Firefox 5.0.1 settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin drive.
