Is there a way of reverting back to previous firefox version

I use firefox extensively for development. I use firebug and dojo. It seems that the new version (Firefox 4) is far slower than the previous version and sometimes hangs completely. I believe this may be caused by Firebug doing a lot of work but it never used to happen. Also firebug doesn't quite seem to work as well with dojo script. Previously if you did a dojo.require to drag in a js script file then you could automatically see it through firebug. Now have to put files I want to debug with script tags. Is there a way of reverting back to previous firefox version?

No need to re-install plugins or extensions.
You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
When you install the second version of Firefox use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for the second version of Firefox (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profile synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
The following links show how to do this:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync (only needed for Firefox 3.6, it is built into Firefox 4)
An alternative way of testing Firefox 4 is to install the portable version on your hard drive. It will use its own profile folder and not interfere with the other version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

Is there a way to revert back to the old version of Cloud

I installed Mountain Lion on my laptop to try it out before installing it on my Mac Pro. I didn't like it so I decided to leave the Mac Pro alone. Problem is, it installed the new version of Cloud and now I can't sync my Mac Pro. Now my laptop is broken. Is there a way to change back to the Cloud version that is recognized by Snow Leopard?

If you mean MobileMe, no. That's been closed since last July and was replaced with iCloud, which requires OS X Lion or higher.

Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly receommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

Ok, so while we all wait for ever, is there a way to revert back to the previous os and data?

I could wait a week for this mess to get worked out and I need my telephone. problem is I'm stuck in the loop too. will not connect and there I have a brick. sort of a shoot yourself in the foot process if you have a wiped phone previous to updating it. useless
anyone know how to revert? Verizon btw, had 4.2.10, tried for ios 5, tried for the gold, no win
Thx

I'm seriously thinking of downgrading back to Mavericks for one very specific reason - the Mail app. As a long-time Mail user, I've always had the Address Panel open down the left side of the Mail app, selected from the Window/Address Panel menu item. It showed a simple list of all contacts, or groups, and only the email address(es) associated with each one. Could select a group then click BCC or TO: or whatever. Could also select multiple addresses and pop them into the CC: list or wherever you liked. And within a Group (eg Work) could do multiple select, and also choose which email address to use for those who have more than one (eg work vs personal).
But - Apple seems to have removed it in Yosemite. The Mail app has NO WAY - at least that I can find - to access a simple list of contacts and email addresses from within the Mail app. What an absolutely stupid move, unless it's just me being dense and can't find it!
If anyone can point me to where or how to show that Address Panel in the Mail app, I'd be most grateful. Having Contacts app open all the time just doesn't cut it either, apart from not enough screen real estate. Contacts won't show you a simple list of people and email addresses like the Address Panel in Mail did. It shows you the full details, one at a time, for each contact. Which is absolutely NO good if I have to send out emails to 50 work colleagues, for example.
Why does Apple DO stuff like this? Like removing the sidebar in iTunes, for another example?
If I can't find an Address Panel for Mail, I'm going back to Mavericks. Anyone got any clues?

I installed Firefox 8 today and it has wreaked havoc on my mac running 10.6.8. Is there a way to revert back version 7?

The fact that it is 8.0.1 tells me that this version is probably not sorted out yet. My experience is proof. I've been using Firefox for years and would like to make it work.

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?

I did a manual backup and wanted to restore the iPhone, but iTunes forced me to update the iPhone before allowing me to restore the iPhone...
After updating, I realised that iTunes created a backup automatically without confirming with me, and now the latest backup file is not the one I wanted.
Is there a way to get back the backup file I manually backup?

Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?
No, to the best of my knowledge the device backup area is simply updated with new information each time the device is backed up so there are no previous versions preserved. Once a backup has been used to restore a device however it gets locked and dated so that you could return back to that snapshot at a later date.
Your manual backup should have simply updated the backup with any new data since the last automatic backup. Upgrading should not have overwritten a backup taken just before the upgrade with a, presumably, empty state. Have you actually tried to restore the current backup that is available? It may have what you want after all. You might like to try backing up the current state of the device to iCloud first, or if you have access to another computer back it up to that.
N.b. I always disable automatic syncing of devices so that I am in better control of when data starts to be written, and in which direction it flows.

Installed 2.2 is there a way to revert back to 2.1?

Help. just curious. sorry if this was posted already. can anyone tell me if there's a way to revert back to 2.1?
thanks

It probably would have been better if you used a shorter subject and put your question into the body of the message.
In order to revert back to 6.1, you will need to install LV 8.0, 7.1, and 7.0 and save back to a previous version. In 8.2 saveas as 8.0. Open it in 8.0 and save to 7.1. Open in 7.1 save to 7.0. Open in 7.0 save as 6.1. It's a lot of steps and possibly one of those steps may not be needed.
If it's only a few VI's, perhaps someone with a lot of different versions may be able to do the backsaving for you and you can post them in the message thread.
Whenever doing an upgrade, and going from 6.1 to 8.2 is a MAJOR upgrade, it is always a good idea to backup all of your codebase and store the files away in a safe place. That way you can open them up in the older version if you need to. It is much easier to upgrade than it is to backsave. The reason for storing files in a safe place that if opening up one VI in a newer version calls older VI's in libraries and other parts of your harddrive, it will upgrade all of them as well, and if you do a Saveall when closing your VI, all of those upgraded sub-VI's will then be saved in the new version.
Edit: Hi Tbob, you must have been just finishing your message and submitted it right after I started writing mine. I'm glad we were sayint the same thing.

I just downloaded the iOS 7, and hate it! It looks like a child's toy phone. Is there a way to revert back to 6?

I just downloaded the latest iOS 7, and hate it! It looks like a child's toy phone. Also, the graphics look washed out. Is there a way to revert to the iOS 6 system, or do I move to a Samsung?

You can always go back if you want!
By that I mean go back to an iPhone 3GS, if iOS 6 is so important to you.
iOS 7 has been out for months, and not only are there hundreds of news articles aboutit, you could have easily viewed the look of the new format on the Apple website, any Apple store, or in fact any retail store that sells iPhones.
Unfortunately, at this point, you have only yourself to blame if you dislike the 'look' of iOS 7.

Is there a way to revert to the previous version of the podcast app?

I really hate the new podcast app version 1.2.1. There has to be a way to revert to the previous version. Don't know why Apple doesn't offer it's users the option of staying with the version that we prefer. We're asked to update without knowing if we'll like the new version. No trial period - just take a chance. I did, and I regret it. I will never click on an update again. I went from loving Apple to hating them overnight.
There must be a work-around somewhere. Please help if you can.

Thanks for the response. Not sure if it's backed up, and not sure how to locate if it is. I downloaded the update directly onto ipod touch - and when I re-synched apps from itunes library to try to install previous ver. it changed to the new podcast ver. 1.2.1. Several moths ago I reverted to an older v. of itunes library(10.0?) through a folder called "previous itunes libraries" in my itunes folder - but I don't remember what I did - someone instructed me. Any chance of that containing older podcast v?
Unfortunately I'm not too tech savvy

Is there a way to go back to previous version of software as I don't like vers 1.1. Restoring it does not work and it turns off all the time after around 10 secs

Is there any way to go back to prvious version of software befoe 1.1 on ipod nano 6th generation. After update it switches off all the time after about 10 secs and I preferred it when I could listen to songs when in sleep mode without using too much battery power

Peter,
That was the problem. They were there, just not properly linked. I used the one I completed in CS6 trial version (after preflight). When I exported that one and opened it in CS5 all was good. I think I will make the upgrade as soon as I can afford it, but at least now I can make the system work for my needs. Thank you for your help!

Is there a way to revert back to Kit Kat on the G3?

The Android L (5.0) update has made my phone fairly unreliable. Is there anyway to roll the phone back to Kit Kat until some of these issues are worked out with lollipop on this device?

You cannot revert back to KitKat without flashing your phone [read: Void Your Warranty!]. The latest scuttlebutt is that LG is aware and working on a 5.1 update. So until then we are stuck. I phones have had their issues as well, i.e. Apple finally acknowledging WiDie (phone loses WiFi connection for no reason). We just take the good with the bad at this point. You'd think in the 21st century this sh*t would be a thing of the past, but you'd be wrong....
