If I upgrade to Firefox 4 can I regain control of my browser's look, feel and functionality? Or would I be stuck with that incredibly stupid new interface?

I checked out Firefox 4 and was horrified by the new look. I'd like to have the latest version of Firefox, but I don't want to lose the look and functionality of my browser. I want my menu bar at the top, my bookmarks toolbar directly above the main window, and I want that ugly, intrusive "Firefox" button gone. (News Flash to Firefox developers: making users click a new button before they can access things that used to be in plain sight is NOT an improvement! It's a complication!) Is it possible that the only way to retain control of my browser and still have a current browser is to go back to using Internet Exploder?

You can download 3.5.18 from here: [http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-3.5/win32/en-US/ Firefox 3.5.18] It's still supported at the moment. Older versions than that potentially expose your system to attack.
You'll have to uninstall the existing version before you downgrade though. To do that please follow these steps.
* Go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
* Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
* Finally run the v3.5.18 installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks etc., are retained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the downgrade.

Hello! I have upgraded to Firefox 20. When I have private browsing enabled, I cannot search. Please advise. Thank you!

Hello! I have upgraded to Firefox 20. When I have private browsing enabled, I cannot search. Please advise. Thank you!

In what way and where can't you search?
*searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
*search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
*search bar on the about:home page (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename)
*other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.

Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.

The credit is applied to your itunes account.
Anyone on any computer that has access to your account can use the balance.

I can't completely control my cursor on my macbook pro, and it keeps jumping to the right of the screen and switching my screen to the dashboard or utilities. Any ideas on what might be causing this, and what I can do about it?

If you have another pointing device installed, remember that the Mac uses "all sources live". You can literally use two or more mice or two or more keyboards at once.
Your trackpad, if that is what you are using, must be very clean. Any debris may be seen as another "finger".

I am on a Mac and just upgraded to Firefox 8. The cursor has become a permanent open hand and I can't click on links or CoolPreviews anymore. How can I change the cursor back to hand with pointed finger or arrow?

Upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to 8 on Mac OS X
Firefox crashed 3 x upon new upgrade and cursor is now a permanent open hand making it difficult to access links and CoolPreviews.
I want to change this or overwrite the new Firefox with my old one which was slow but at least worked.
I will do this through Time Machine.,
Any advice?

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

Upgrade from firefox 3.6 to 4.0.

Thanks.

I, too had my book marks disappear when I upgraded to FF 4.0
I am now back and enjoying FF 3.6.17 (my original) yet I am still
without my book marks and am floundering trying to recoup.
Any help appreciated. If unable to see my book marks in the near
future I will definitely jump ship. It's too bad that FF people have
created this problem. I am mystified and disgusted with their actions.

I recently upgraded my Firefox. Since then I've last all my saved bookmarks and am unable to find them. I'm also unable to add new bookmarks.

After upgrading my firefox I have lost all of my bookmarks. I've tried the fixes on your help page and got nowhere. I tried to do a system restore to before the upgrade and it made no difference. Sometimes on this firefox 3.6.10 it will not bookmark pages that I select. I really need my previous bookmarked pages. Please help.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 only to find my Roboform disappeared - it takes me to the site to buy a license that I already have

I just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 only to find my Roboform disappeared - When I click on Roboform Toolbar, Firefox takes me to the site to buy a license that I already have. What happened to my Roboform Toolbar, which was working and now it's there?

Depends upon the version of Roboform you have. Roboform Pro v.6 needs to be updated to v.7 for Firefox 4.0 compatibility.
If you are using the '''Full RoboForm Toolbar''', install the Roboform adapter for '''Firefox 3.0 - 4 beta X''' from here: 
http://www.roboform.com/firefox.html
Scroll down that page, you want the one shown under: '''Additional Full RoboForm Toolbar Information''' 
'''RoboForm Installer Installs Adapter Automatically into Firefox''' 
Or, you can install it from this link:

I upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 on may MacBook OSX 10.6.8 and not all files I download from my Outlook Web app are ashx file, not what they were originally sent in. How do I change this ?

I have just upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 on may MacBook (10.6.8) and now all files I download from my Outlook Web app labeled attachment.ashx, not as they were originally sent (.docx, .pdf, etc). How do I change this back?

I'm going to back up to Firefox 7 next. I'm getting the drift that 8.0.1 and/or flash on 8.0.1 are unstable.
I'll let you know if that solves this problem.
NOPE. This had no effect.

After upgrading to firefox 4, redirection to unknown websites made browser completely unusable so had to uninstall it and go back to 3.6

I got the notification that an new version of firefox was available couple of days ago so I upgraded from 3.6.14 to firefox 4. This worked fine. After start up of the browser and doing a google search I realised I was directed to strange sites e.g "gimmeanwser" which had a search like appearance, and similar sites. this even happed with bookmarked sites and to such an extent I was convinced that my computer was infected with malware, but it was so prevalent the browser was useless. I am back to FF 3.6.16 now, and it and all other browsers work fine.

This one works in FF 4 and beyond:

HT204053 Can two different icloud accounts used for the same mac computer and same Itunes account still transfer photos and downloaded apps to all devices associated with that mac?

I purchased my wife an Iphone and we currently use the same icloud account, but we just ran out of storage. I'm not sure if we need so much more space that I'm ready to upgrade to 15 total GB of storage. If my wife sets up her own icloud account for her iphone will she and I still be able to share our photos, downloaded apps and music with different icloud accounts?

Apps and music aren't anything to do with your iCloud account, indeed you can use different ID's for each.
If you create and use another ID for iCloud, you will not be able to share both photostreams to the same user account on the computer.
This could be worked around with a second user account on the computer for the second user to do all their computing in. However you may find that photostreams shared albums will work around the problem for you. For example if you create a shared album and share it with your partner, any photos you add to that album will be available in your partners photostream on the computer.

If I upgrade to Firefox 4 can I regain control of my browser's look, feel and functionality? Or would I be stuck with that incredibly stupid new interface?
