I would like to downgrade BACK to Firefox 17 because of obvious issues with version 18, but I'm lost...

If nothing is done about this new 18 version, I am going to have to change browsers! And I REALLY DO NOT want to do that! I'm SO used to Firefox! I love the format, reliability and speed (other than this new version 18 shizz)...
Here's the article/page I've found which gives the link to get to previous versions for downgrade:
http://mzl.la/MOvsag
Here's the actual link that's provided in that article which is supposed to get me to a page where I can download the downgrade (Did I even say that right...? Does that make sense? "Downloading a downgrade"?) Anyway, back on track here; the link is:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
Now, can someone tell me HOW IN THE WORLD I'm supposed to downgrade from here (well, there: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/) I scroll down to the very last version of 17 ("17.0esr/ 23-Nov-2012 11:25 -" ), but it just jumps to more lists of links that direct me to pages with useless information! I've tried almost all of them! I was assuming I should be choosing the "update/" and then "win32/" (since I use Windows), but I am super lost after that! Maybe Mozilla could make it a little more Layman-Friendly? I don't really want to take classes to learn to do something I should be able to achieve in minutes from doing a simple GOOGLE search...
Sorry! I'm mega-mad! Don't mean to sound like a B****-ZILLA!
HELP!!!!????

'''jcanth''', the 17.0esr can still be used by regular users also and now has security fixes that 17.0.1 does not have.
The current 17.0esr is 17.0.2 at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all.html
Edit: This is a better option versus using 17.0/17.0.1 however one should use the latest release instead as esr may not have all security fixes.

  • I would like to downgrade back to Firefox 5, I have

    Can't confirm my last question as Firefox won't direct me to your site

    1. You have to go to [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ this link that has the release versions of Firefox.]
    2. Choose the version you want, then the OS in the folder list, then your state or country code folder.
    3. Then download the Firefox Installer.exe file.
    4. Close your Firefox and UNINSTALL your current version of Firefox by going to the "add/remove programs" control panel
    5. Then run the installer program you just downloaded.
    Voila! You just downgraded. Hope that helps!

  • Hello...after upgrading to firefox 6 i'm having issues with some websites and would like to go back to firefox 5. can i do this and if so how? thanks

    ever since firefox updated to version six i am having some issues with games on facebook and also loading several sites. i'm getting a lot of time outs. i would like to go back to firefox 5. please advise

    Sorry, Swanarva, It didn't work as it was supposed to. I downloaded, saved file, clicked the download to open, clicked 'run' then got an error message that it couldn't find the file(!) . No idea what happened or why. Should I have uninstalled Firefox first, then downloaded Firefox 8 using another browser or downloaded, uninstalled Firefox 09 beta then tried installing Firefox 8?
    At this rate, IE is looking good, despite its shortcomings.

  • I play a game that seems to work better with FF 3.6 and would like to downgrade back to that version.

    Fallen Sword runs a user script. FS helper. It works much more reliably on the old version of Firefox. How do I get back to that version. It was fine. I use Greasemonkey as well.

    Firefox 3.6 works with OSX 10.4.
    The last version of Firefox that ran on 10.3 (according to system requirements) was Firefox 2. Because it has not been updated for years, Firefox 2 is not secure and definitely not recommended for use on the wild wild web.
    I think you might be out of luck!

  • I changed my browser to Google Chrome and now would like to go back to firefox.

    In the process I got a new email address but Firefox insists on dialing my old one and I don't know how to change it.

    Firefox doesn't do email and it doesn't "dial" - the operating systen makes the connection to the internet for both dial-up and for always-on broadband service.
    If your problem is that when you click on a ''' "mailto" ''' hyperlink on a web page, that Firefox loads Earthlink webmail and you want it to load Gmail - see this. <br />

  • I have recently installed Firefox 4.0 but would like to go back to 3.6. Can I do this without loosing all of my addons and bookmarks?

    I have some favorite add-ons that are not yet compatible with version 4. I would like to go back to 3.6 without loosing all of my setup.

    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 - 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 would like to get rid of firefox 4 and go back to the older one, how do I do this

    I would like to get rid of firefox 4 its a nuisance and go back to the old one how do I do this

    It's helpful to give more specific feedback if you can.
    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] (copy your whole profile folder).
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4, and uninstall it. Do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Then finally you can reinstall Firefox 3.6. Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, it 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!

  • Can't load certain applications since updating as recomended - would like to go back to the old version of firefox

  • Change the home button back to the left side!!!!! I've changed browsers and would like to change back and upgrade to FF 6.0 if you can get that fixed!

    "change the home button back to the left side!!!!! I've changed browsers and would like to change back and upgrade to FF 6.0 if you can get that fixed!"
    And why can't I send an email from the old browser? lame!

    You can open the open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and drag the home button to where you want it to appear.

  • New version FF3.63 causes a faded screen with script running in the background. I understand it may not be entirely compatible with 64bit units. I was perfectly happy with 3.59 and would like to downgrade, is this possible and how?

    I would like to go back to version 3.59. 3.63 is slow and buggy on my unit.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed new version today ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0)

    You can get 3.5.9 from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    But 3.6.3 should run fine. DO you have any add-ons installed, that may be causing the problem?

  • I would like to go back to my old version. Version 4 does not support my Afrikaans spell checker etc.

    Most of my work is done in Afrikaans en therefore my spell checker is vital to me. Your latest version is not compatible to the available spell checker and so I would like to revert back to the older version.
    Kind Regards
    Stephanie

    A spell checker that works in Firefox 3.6 should also work in Firefox 4.0 even if not listed as compatible.
    You can force Firefox to install the spell checker or re-enable it if it has been disabled by installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter
