I wish to uninstall firefox 6 update and go back to my original version so that my Norton toolbar will work. How do I do this?

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!

I wish to uninstall firefox 6 update and go back to my original version so that my AVG Security will work. How do I do this?

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 installed the 5.0 update and now I can't reinstall my SEOBook toolbar that I depend on for work! How do I uninstall Firefox 5.0 and go back to an earlier version of Firefox so I can reinstall the SEOBook toolbar? Thank you!

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.

Can I uninstall an update and go back to older the version ?

hi i have a macbook pro intel and i am using Mac osx 10.5.8, now i have a apple wireless keyboard, recently i just installed the "alluminium keyboard update 2" after which my keypad has stopped responding, i request is some one can offer a help ..... i just want to uninstall this update and go back to the older version .....

Hi,
One simple way would be to completely uninstall your keyboard drivers, updated that they are, and reinstall from scratch, then deny the unwanted updates the right to install.
Another way is to get details about the culprit by using Terminal and typing the following commands:
grep swupd /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist > ~/Desktop/update_list.txt
(This will get you a list of software updates you've installed on you Mac, in text format, directly on your Desktop)
Then:
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/swupd/html/xxx-xxxx/
(Where "xxx-xxxx" stands for the actual update number you want to delete)
You'll have to reboot your Mac, and hope that the rollback that will ensue will take place without a glitch. You may find your keyboard unresponsive at first, time for the system to fetch the old driver back from it was stored.

Hi! i went to go slide the thing to unlock my iphone 4 and it wouldnt slide, it froze up and everything is not working. i tried plugging it in but it is still frozen and nothing will work. how do i fix this?

My recommendation is to restart the iPhone. All you do is hold down the top button and hold down the home button for 5 seconds untill it automatically shuts down. Then click the top button untill you see a grey apple on your screen.

I would like to uninstall the latest update and revert back to the most recent version

I've seen several posts asking how to uninstall a recent update with a reason for wanting to do this and not one of them actually answers the question. I have an add-on that I really have grown fond of that is not compatible with the latest update and simply want to know how to go back to the previous version of firefox.

Question here, not an answer so leaving with a unresolved issue.
I strongly want to Un-install Update 27.0 and revert all things back to 26.? Just tell me if I can do this without loosing all my settings and starting over????. 27.0 is not playing nice with a MAJOR website I have no control over nor can I share it online.. The kicker,don't laugh I'm using XP updated to the max. A straight answer please,I've spent hours crawling through answers and questions.
Add me to the List of numerous people who want to un-install a Update.
Thanks in Advance for the answer. 02-12-2014

How do i take off the new firefox that my computer updated and go back to the previous version which i liked better

my tool bar wont show like i want on top and bottom like i need it to

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
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

I tried to install Selenium IDE and got message "Selenium IDE Java formatter could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 5.0". How can I uninstall Firefox 5.0 and roll back to a version that works with Selenium IDE? - 22 Jun-2011

I tried to install Selenium IDE and I am getting the message:

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

HT1495 My itunes won't update and I can't delete old version so that I can download the newer version.

I can't update iTunes and I can't delete the old version so that I can download the newer version. Help!

Do you get an error message when you try to uninstall iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Apple TV update is asking me to connect via USB cord that I don't have. How can I bypass this to access my shows?

I have downloaded the recent apple tv update however it is now asking me to connect to iTunes via USB. I don't have this cord and have never connected to iTunes this way before. Only even via wifi. Does anyone know how I can bypass this

No, you can't by-pass it. If you are getting this error message it mean something has gone amiss with the update and it needs to be connected to itunes to fix it. The USB it needs is a standard Micro USB to USB cable, the kind used by most digital cameras and readily available from any electronics or discount store.

My software update is complete but it appears that my Java is not working, how should I correct this?

I'm trying to upload my pictures to a different site which requires Java. I checked Java.com which states that Apple has it's own version of Java, but my computer will not allow me to upload my pictures even though my software is updatede. Does this mean I don't have Java? If so, how do I get it for my laptop?

you can try this, on your phone, go to the app store, hit the update button on the bottom, then click on purchase, you will then see 2 tabs all/or not on this phone. Look and see if your app is there, if it is hit the cloud icon next to it and it will download to your home screeen.

So I have a iPod touch and camera disappeared some how and if I try to download a nother camera app it does not work how do I fix this

So my iPod touch deleted its main camera and If I try to download another camera app it won't work and it will say that my davice does not support camera apps how do I fix this?

Try resetting your Home screen layout...
Settings / General / Reset / Reset Home Screen Layout
See if it shows up.

Every time I press 'enter' while using firefox, 2 or 3 new tabs open up with a website that I've never used. How do I stop this from happening? Thanks :)

The website that comes up is www.carpoint.com.au
I haven't ever used this site.

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.

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

How do I uninstall Firefox 6.0 and go back to Firefox 5.x. I am a teacher and several secondary programs won't run with 6.0 and I do not want to upgrade them-too many downstream problems.

The most recent update was apparently on 8/18/11 and 8/20. Message comes up to upgrade Java, Real Time Player, and two other programs. I have not been able to use Real Time Player for about a month and it used to work well in the old version of Firefox. By the way, everything works fine in Internet Explorer (which I really don't want to use).
