My bank website doesn't support Firefox 4. How can I return to the older version of Firefox?

I called my bank and they said that I need to use an older version. How do I do this?

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.

An alternative approach is to keep Firefox 4 and install the portable version of Firefox 3.6 on your hard drive. The portable version will be totally independent of the main version and can be used when you want to access the bank site. You can get it from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? Thank You, Carol Roberts

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? If there is no way to do this, then I will have to use internet explorer so I hope you can help me with this. Thank You, Carol Roberts

Until Evernote updates their add-on to mark it compatible with Firefox 6, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to try re-enabling it yourself.
You can also downgrade to a previous version of Firefox from [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ this archive], but please be warned that some old versions of Firefox have known security bugs that are fixed in later versions.

I inadvertently deleted and emptied the trash bin on Firefox. I have a MAC OSX-VERSION 10.4.11. How can I re-install the latest version of Firefox that is COMPUTER FRIENDLY for the MAC OSX Version 10.4.11? I appreciate any help.

I inadvertently deleted Firefox and emptied the trash bin. I believe it was version 3.5. I have a MAC OSX 10.4.11. After several futile attemps how can I re-install the latest version of Firefox compatible to my MAC system? Thanks!

As of Firefox 4.0 and newer the Firefox builds from Mozilla requires both Mac OSX 10.'''5'''+ and a Intel.
Either you can use 3.6.19 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Though for you 3.6.18 will be safe also as 3.6.19 was to workaround a font crashing issue on 10.7 Lion that was not fixed in time on Lion before release. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.18/mac/ and pick your language and download the Firefox 3.6.18.dmg

How can I re-download the previous version of Firefox. I have lost most of my add-ons with 4.0 including my password manager. This is a calamity and I've changed my default browser from Firefox. Help!!!

The problem is very simple. As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4.0 I lost my add-ons. The add-ons were the reason I have been using Firefox for several years. This seems to be ludicrous. The new version should be able to manage integration of existing add-ons or the Firefox team should have provided the add-on authors with advance technical information before releasing 4.0 to the world.

Some coupon sites aren't compatible with Firefox 4 so I can't print needed coupons. How can I revert to the old version of Firefox?

When I try to print coupons at coupons.com and target.com, just to name two, I get a message saying they "We're unable to support coupon printing on your system at this time. The Coupon Print Activator is supported on Windows Operating Systems 2000, ME, XP, Vista and Windows 7 when used with Internet Explorer 6.x, 7.x and 8.x, Firefox 2.x and 3.x, Google Chrome 3.x and Apple Safari 4.x and on Apple Mac OS X and above when used with Safari 2.x and 3.x or Firefox 2.x and 3.x browsers."
Does this mean I need to revert to the previous version of Firefox?

Make Firefox 4/5 look like Firefox 3.6.x:
*NOTE: Support for Firefox 3.6.x is scheduled to end soon, so we can help you find solutions for using Firefox 5.

How can I update to the new version of Firefox if I have Linux Canaima 2.0?

Hi! I have a laptop acer and I have installed Linux Canaima 2.0.3, which is a debian distribution with some features of Ubuntu. I downloaded the new version of Firefox, but could not install because it tells me that there are certain dependencies with the old version and how to do to remove the previous version of browser and install the new one. Please I need your help. Thanks in advance.

Either you need to install those missing dependencies or install a more up to date Linux distro version that has more current packages and not ones that are probably from 4+ years ago being based on a long term support debian version.
There is a Canaima 3.0 which was released May 2011 for example. http://canaima.softwarelibre.gob.ve/
You might be able to install Firefox 3.6.18 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

My Yahoo toolbar is gone requiring me to press the back button thru all of the pages I've viewed to get back to my homepage. AND more importantly I can no longer use Kodak Gallery. How do I return to an older version of Firefox?

The recent version of Firefox apparently does not support/permit me to see/use the Yahoo toolbar. Therefore, I have to manually page back thru all of the yahoo pages I've visited to get back to the main page.
Also the recent version of Firefox apparently is not compatible with Kodak Gallery's functions; therefore use of my many photo albums stored online is no longer available.
Apparently I need to go back to an older version of Firefox or use another browser.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

How can I return to a previous version of firefox?

At this moment I'm running Firefox 35.0.1, and I think I wish to return to whatever was the previous version. I think Firefox updated to this version several weeks ago, and since then strange things are happening.
First of all, I don not like the "manage search engine" set-up. It's different than the one I had a few weeks ago. Now there's nothing at all wrong with this new incarnation, I just don't like the drop down box, etc, (very small issue).
My real concern is, when I'm on a web page, (pick one), any web page, I'll begin hearing audio from some ad. I frantically search the page to see where I can stop the audio, never finding any option. I'll minimize my window, to see if something is behind that window, which I can shut off, but to no avail. This has happened 3 times in the last 48 hours.
Not earth shattering issues, I realize.
But the question would be, is there an easy way that one could return to the version prior to 35.0.1, without damaging anything, (I'm not extremely tech savy).
Thanks in advance, etc.
greg

Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.
* ( Do Not ) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.
* See Ed's [/questions/1044599#answer-685295]
I am not sure the changes in Firefox 35.0.1 would cause your audio issues
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0.1/releasenotes/
The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

How can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox? This new version has me completely bewildered. I can't find ANYTHING!!!

I functioned extremely efficiently with Firefox for years. Now, suddenly the new version lacks the conveniently accessible functions to which I have become accustomed. I would like to re-install the earlier version so that I can resume my customary productivity, but I can't find the earlier version to "update" to ("downdate?") Please help me because I don't want to resort to one of the other browsers, but may have to if I can no longer figure out how to use Firefox. Nothing seems to work the way your instructions specify. You are making me feel like a gibbering idiot.

I downloaded Firefox 4 which my iBook G4 does not support. How can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox?

A box showed up that said "this architecture does not support Firefox 4." Firefox was no longer available on my laptop. Leopard is my OS. (Highest it will go)

Do you recall whether your iBook G4 could run Firefox 3.6? If so, you can download it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
If you were using 3.5 or earlier, finding it is a bit trickier.
You probably want to backup your profile folder before uninstalling Firefox 4. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information Backing up your information | How to | Firefox Help].

I hate version 4 and need step by step instructions on how to go back to the older version. Firefox * me.

I hate V4 the should have informed us before we downloaded it that we would need to relearn using it. I'll make one attempt to go back to the version I liked and if that does not work, I'll use something else. *!

I have used Firefox for many many years....this is the first time I am now actively testing other browsers and will probably go with chrome. Why in the F would you absolutely reverse things like the right click menus and flip other things around? Yea, I know companies like FB will make changes just to keep some poor coder employed, but I'm really pretty unhappy with the new layout. I've been with FF since 2006, but I think we're going to have to part ways.

After updating to Firefox 5.0, my email/webmail account isn't working. How can I revert to the previous version of Firefox?

The email account that I am having trouble with is [email protected] I can't open any emails or perform any other function (purge, label, discard, view, etc) I can send an email though.

This might have been helpful if it was in English and not in German. . . at least it looks like German.

Firefox 18.0.1 crashes every time I close a tab. How can I revert to the prior version which worked fine?

I use Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion dm4-1160us Entertainment Notebook. I use Firefox extensively, and have not had this problem with any prior versions. I upgraded to 18.0.1 on Jan 18th and now Firefox crashes every time I close a tab. I use Norton Internet Security, and had no problems prior to updating Firefox. How can I revert to the prior version of Firefox which worked well.

Why is this Norton's problem when it was caused by Firefox's upgrade???
An easier solution is to use a different browser. Norton works fine.

Some sites ask for adobe flash player. My IPad doesn't support it. How can I get over it?

You could try a third-party browser app such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon which 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
