I wish to remain with firefox 3.6, the new firefox is very difficult to use because it has no menus. How can I turn off firefox asking me to upgrade?

I tried firefox 4 and it was like the new gui of win 7. I hate this horrid hidden menu system. Can I have classic menus with firefox 5?

I agree with you. Firefox 4 and latest upgrades are not intuitive. It is not intuitive to create browsers that automatically load without a 'Menu Bar'. It would appear that the developers have forgotten that not everyone is super savvy with changing the look of their browser. Not providing a simple 'Classic' button was also a huge mistake.
However, they did provide a method for changing everything.
Click on the orange 'Firefox' button located top left.
Hover over 'Options' and a new dropdown list appears.
Click on 'Menu Bar' to tick it.
The Menu Bar should reappear and the orange Firefox has gone.
To get rid of the 'Tabs on Top' follow the same instructions but this time you can see that 'Tabs on top' has a tick next to it. Click on 'Tabs on Top' to remove the tick and you will find the tabs are returned to the correct position below the Toolbars.
You may also wish to move the 'Home' icon. You can locate it on the far right of the Navigation pane; a small icon with a little house.
Logically, most people like this icon to follow the Back and forward buttons, but placed before the address bar.
To move it:
Click on 'View' then 'Toolbars' then select 'customise'. With this small 'Customise Toolbar' window open you can now hover over the home icon and the cursor will look like an open hand, so left click and hold to grab the icon and drag to a better position if desired. The 'Customise Toolbar' allows you to add eg: printer or place separators to tidy the Navigation toolbar :)

I am using earphones, but the external audio of my mini ipad is still on. How can I turn off the external audio while listening with my headset/earphones?

Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for. Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
*UPDATE (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
Have a blessed day.

How can I turn off the sounds of the firefox? I don't want to turn off my whole computer sounds, but just the sounds which comes from the internet. Is there any master button?

All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.

In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer. 
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window. 
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

How can I turn off the blobs that keep popping up with underlined or otherwise marked words or expressions in text or menue.

Looking at web pages some key words are underlined or marked. Moving the cursor across them brings out a flag with directions to ask what it is. It is very annoying and I spend more time trying to get rid of them than enjoying the reading. This was not there several years ago but has become increasingly frequent. How can I turn this OFF. I am not a computer expert.

Are you perhaps using Google Calendar as your main calendar service? There is an option in Google Calendar to have text alerts sent to your phone for events. Log into Google Calendar on your computer and disable that feature.
If you're using a different calendar service, see if they have a similar set up.

How can i turn off the 'smooth scrolling' in firefox?

since I installed Firefox 13.0, scrolling down pages went a bit smoother. My PC is a bit old, so when i have youtube played in one tab and I'm smoothly scrolling in another, every time i scroll down the music stops for the time i scroll down. Like some sort of lag, but my internet connection is fine.
so my question was; How can i turn this feature off, so i can listen to music without the stops when scrolling?

Thanks alot!

Recently, I updated to Firefox 4.0.1, and the new version disabled several of my programs, including my anti-virus. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox?

I want to go back to the previous version of Firefox, because the new version (4.0.1 I think) that I downloaded disabled several of my programs, including my anti-virus program, because they were incompatible with the new version of Firefox. How do I get back to the previous version of Firefox and re-enable the disabled programs?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

How can I turn off inherent features of Firefox? (Specifically, it automatically loads and displays the next page, but it will load OVER the current page)

With this version of Firefox, it automatically loads the 'next' page. When I'm reading blogs, when I click to go back, it automatically loads the first page of the blog as the 'next' page I want to go to. However, it will load this page OVER the page I am on, so that I cannot see it. With some blogs, it is so extreme, I cannot use Firefox on them at all. This isn't an add-on or anything, and I cannot find it in the preferences panel. Can I turn it off somehow/is there a way to in Firefox 4?

That is not standard behavior. You may have installed an extension that causes it.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I turn off the new "tabs on top" layout of the new Firefox?

Dear Mozilla,
Te be honest I was very comfortable with the old Firefox layout and really don't like the new 'Tabs on Top' layout. It's one of the main reasons I hate Chrome.
Is there any way I can turn it off? I haven't been able to find it.
If not, can you direct me to a download page for the previous version of Firefox.
Thanks and bets regards,
Chris

I can't help but agree with you, Chris. Computer interfaces are usually analogues for the physical world and it seems that most of the just-newly-adult population has forgotten what GUI cues are meant to be - your mention of tabs' appearing on top is a case in point.
Has the just-newly-adult population forgotten manila folders? You know - those light-cardboard folders that you put pad paper and documents inside; ones that you slip into a filing cabinet, long-edge down, with TABS showing along the now top edge, so that you can read what they contain. Indeed, have you looked, people, Mozillians, at the symbol universally used for File/Windows Explorer? A manila folder!
The edges of manila folders are the tabs that ....wait for it, signify what they contain or represent. Simple. Similarly the just-newly-adult population may have forgotten tabbed diaries. 'Calendar books' with tabs down the opening side that let you select a page somewhere in the diary with information in it described by words or symbols on its tab. Simple!
Tabs should be attached, indeed, be part of, with NO separation from, the pages to which they belong, IMVHO.
Simplify the interface, Mozilla, designed according to good real-world principles.

How can I turn OFF my Yahoo email password from Firefox memory. since it was hacked last week.

Some time ago I let Firefox remember my Yahoo email username and password. Last week someone hacked into my Yahoo email account and used my email address list to send out lots of yucky spam to them. I have changed my Yahoo password, but now, just for safety's sake, I want to have that password blank whenever I sign in. How do I toggle the Firefox memory OFF so that it doesn't remember my new Yahoo name and password? I would prefer to log that name and password in myself from now on.

I'm back on Firefox 13.01 and the webmail and Yahoo Home page appear to be sorted.
From another similar problem, I learned that going into Tool/Options - Network Settings, and changing the proxy setting from AutoDetect Proxy to Use System Proxy, or No Proxy gets rid of the password pop-up problem.
I've been using 13.01 for the last 10 minutes or so, with Yahoo as my home page, and I've ended and started FF five or six times, and each time, my it went straight to my homepage without requesting a password. E-mail looks to be working fine as well.

How can I turn off "Google Suggest" in Firefox. I hate it! hate it! hate it!

Firefox used to allow turning off "Google Suggest", but that's not possible with recent updates. I never, never, never (never!) want what "Google Suggest" insists on presenting to me. It's really inconvenient and a time waster.

Do you mean when you type a search, it will give a list of things before you have finished?, a pain....I'm sure there is something to the right of the search box that has a drop down menu, you can de-select it from there
hope this helps
