I wish to uninstall Firefox 4.0 and rep lace it with 3.6. How do I do it?
Hi. I loved Firefox 3.6. I HATE Firefox 4.0 - too complicated - and wish to revert to Firefox 3.6. How do I do it. I am not a techie. I know how to operate the un-install command on my Dell lap top which runs on Windows 7, but I am not a techie. Thanks.
Lou Ross
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 habe Wimdows 7 and AVG as my security. The most recent Firefox download disable my security. So must I dump the update for Firefox. switch to IE or can you fix this?
The AVG Safe Search toolbar is disabled because AVG has not updated it to be compatible with Firefox 6. ''''' Your AVG protection is still working, just the toolbar is not.'''''
*See on AVG forum site: http://forums.avg.com/us-en/avg-free-forum?sec=thread&act=show&id=171050
Firefox has a similar built in function to protect you while browsing but it will not show an indicator on search results pages. If you try to load a page/site that is known by the '''''Safe Browsing''''' component in Firefox to be a malicious site, you will see a warning and have the option to (1) not load/proceed to the site, (2) get information about why the site is rated a dangerous, or (3) ignore the warning and proceed to the site anyway.

I need the Norton toolbar, which was available until a few minutes ago when the latest update came in for firefox. Anyway, I would like the toolbar enabled or the means to undo the update. Help
The policy of totally ending support of the previous version seems incredibly unfriendly to users -- to the extent that this policy is likely to drive many long time users (like me) to other browsers. Although I can understand that EVENTUALLY support for very older versions cannot be justified; however, when a new version causes multiple and severe disruption incidents of web browsing, there really should be some way to revert back a version or two or three. As soon as I updated to version 6 a few days ago, I suddenly began experiencing "hangs" (freezes) on several web sites. The FireFox policy seems to be that everything else in the world needs to be "upgraded" to be compatible with FireFox's newest version. Well, sorry ... I dislike being forced to expend countless hours trying to "upgrade" not only add-ons but other software and perhaps hardware too ... because suddenly so much is incompatible to the newest FireFox! I had a long list of incompatible add-ons that will not work with the newest FireFox and not a single one had an update that would resolve the situation. Yet FireFox's published comments seem to deny that the problem is in their newest version -- FireFox is okay, everything else has a problem. Well, the simple solution to that is to junk FireFox and use a different browser!

After installing Firefox 4 Beta my graphics card keept crashing on my laptop. After looking at the reliability report on the laptop i noticed that a key event that happend shortly before the video crashing began was that i installed Firefox 4 Beta.

I am trying to update iTunes so that I can sync my new iPhone. I get a message Error 7 (Windows Error 127). I have uninstalled all Apple software and tried to reload with no luck. I have also cleaned my computer's registry with registry cleaning software. Even tried reloading operating system disk to fix errors. Any ideas?
Hello chathamcpa,
I found an article with steps you can take when you are getting Error 7 when opening iTunes. I recommend following the steps in this article:

Need help to import and syncronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that?
Hi,
I need help to import and synchronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that? The default page "Select Remote Content" of the WorkCenter "Unified Navigation WorkCenter" is not working as well, when I run the import/sync button I get the following error message:
Integration Gateway: General Connection Failed (158,10836)
This error is thrown when there is no valid response.
Possible errors include:
Bad gateway URL
Sync Service Timeout set and Service actually timed out.
Java exception thrown - Check Application Server for possible Java exceptionDo you have integration configured between the two systems? It sounds like you don't from the error. Here is a walk-through on setting up Unified Navigation although it assumes you have integration already working. If you haven't done that, it's documented a hundred different places.

Hi timh86,
You can't unless it is your own computers. Turn on all your computers and printers. Turn off the Network Lock. Once all are reconnected to the Router, reenable the Network Lock.

I uninstalled Firefox by mistake and want to reinstall or restore it w/o loosing my history
I have been using Firefox for years. This morning it tried to update and when it finished I could not open it. I made the mistake of uninstalling Firefox when I thought I was only restoring it to before the update. Now Firefox has been uninstalled completely and I want to restore (reinstall) it to this morning before the update. What do I do next?.
Download and install the latest version from

If you still have problems starting FF, report back. -
thank you!
'''If you are having a specific issue with Firefox 5, please post the details, and someone on this support forum will try to help you.'''
With Mozilla's accelerated release plan, the "plan" is for 5.0 to replace 4.0.1, with no further support for 4.0.* versions.
*This will also be the case with versions 6 and 7, currently scheduled for release later this year.
*As new versions are released, support for the prior version will be dropped.
*The only exception, as of right now, is that version 3.6.x will continue to be supported for 3-4 months, as of this posting.
No significant user-interface changes occurred between Firefox 4 and Firefox 5.
95% of the Add-ons hosted at the official Add-ons website are compatible with Firefox 5.0 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/compatibility/report.
For extensions that are hosted elsewhere, you can try using this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ - to force "incompatible" extensions to be enabled in 5.0 and see for yourself if they work. Then there's a "compatibility" button in the Add-ons Manager tab to report if each extension is working properly or to tell the developer of each extension what problems you're having.

When I try and open the Firefox drop down menu there is no text to explain the different options. The same thing happens when I try and right click, there is no text only blank spaces. If someone can help I would really appreciate it. I have used Firefox for a long time and I would hate to have to stop using it. I can post screenshots if needed.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 25: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

There is no trace of Bing in any program or default. Is Firefox loading it onto my computer? How can I keep Firefox but get rid of the Bing?
''cja2 [[#answer-724751|said]]''
<blockquote>
I removed the Bing toolbar immediately, and I removed it as a default search engine. But it stayed as the default for when a tab is opened. I uninstalled Firefox but Bing came with Firefox every time. Has Firefox partnered with Bing in a way that Bing is part of the package? I hate Bing and will remove Firefox if it includes Bing
</blockquote>
If you are getting Bing when you click on new tab try this: Type '''about:config''' into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to '''browser.newtab.url''' and make sure 'Value' is set to '''about:newtab''' (right click to change it if necessary).
Also, if you haven't already, please run the malware removal programs in my original answer.
