The new version of firefox is ridiculously slow, how do I go back to the old version?

As requested I recently updated to the newer version of firefox, since I did that it has been really slow. I would like to go back to the older version, how do I do that?

Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then 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 installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those where necessary.

Why can I not use my Norton Toolbar... It is a very important item... If I can not run norton toolbar, then I do not want the new version of firefox.... How do I go back to my old version..

Norton has had over 5 months to work in their Firefox extensions, since the API's were locked for 4.0. Ask Norton why they pull this crap every time Mozilla releases a new version of Firefox. When Firefox 3.6 was released mid-January 2010, it took Norton until almost April to come up with a working version of their Firefox extensions.

My iCloud has been 'upgrading' for the last 12 hrs. That is, after I had pressed 'install after downloading the latest, improved version without entering my password. How do I get back to the window that will allow me to enter my password?

My iPad has been 'upgrading' for the last 12hrs.That is, after I had downloaded the new version of iCloud, and pressed 'Install' without entering my password. It is probably searching for it. How do I go back to the window that will allow me to enter my password. I have tried switching off the device, but each time the 'upgrading' comes on. I have also switched it off and left it on the charger for at least 6 hrs.

I installed 5 but now I can't use it with Mac osx - how do I go back to my old version?!

I was prompted to install Firefox 5 on my Mac. Now when I try to open it says I can't use Firefox with osx. How do I go back to using the previous version - has it been written over? My previous version was fine!

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
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 can I revert back to my old version of FF after updating to 15.0?

FF kept urging me to update to version 15.0, but I resisted because doing so would disable some key aps, the major one being my password and security ap, Abine where all my passwords are stored.
When I started the computer this morning, FF version 15 was on my computer and Abine no longer works. I did not give FF permission to do the upgrade, but that's not the problem now.
How can I get back to the previous version of FF (14.01)? I have an iMac and have it backed up with time Machine.

A new Abine release compatible with FF15 is on addons.mozilla.org now.
I restarted my computer and Abine was working. If not, go to tools, add-ons, and update. I'm not a tech person, so I hope one of these works for you.

I really don't like the new version of Firefox, when are they going to change it back? The idea for this layout is worse than mircosofts Vista mistake.

It's not that I don't like change, in fact I love it. However, the way tabs open and new windows open needs to go back to the original format. Sure it's a fancy transition but it is more annoying than nice. I never complain about things like this, in fact this will be my first ever complaint about a browser, I quit using explorer, and it looks like I'm going to start again until they change the format of this upgrade. I will not get use to it, I refuse to and everyone else I know feels the same way.

This solved my problem but in upgrading when layout changes occur there should be some kind of forewarning telling those who upgrade, those steps as a precaution. So we all don't go "insane" and start posting our frustrations. Last question, I noticed that uploading pictures has issues too, you can't select the picture and hit shift to select others

How do I go back to my old version of Firefox. 4 does not allow me to use two finger mousepad control to expand or contract my screen. Also I don't like the lack of a drop-down arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

I don't like to have to click and drag to see the drop down history of the back/forward buttons - this requires two fingers or a double tap and hold finger motion. MUCH easier to click and release and take my time to pick the screen I want to go back to, then click on that link with a separate motion.
I especially don't like that I can no longer expand and contract the screen with two finger motion on my mousepad!!!
Generally, I don't see any advantage to the new layout - and I have a slight preference to having my tabs closer to the screen rather than above the address bar, since I more frequently click on tabs than on the address bar. If you want to improve the view I would recommend combining the very topmost bar which is part of the window surround with the File Edit etc bar (and please keep File, Edit, View History, etc separated instead of putting them into a dropdown). This will allow the viewer one more line of text on a given webpage, and eliminate the wasted space which is only used to identify the window as FF and provide the close window buttons
PLEASE help me go back to the old version. It was perfect.

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

My firefox deleted the existing adobe flash player 10.3.183.7 BUT I'm unable to download the new flash drive 10.3.183.10. Can I go back to the old flash player (10.3.183.7)

There is something wrong with the download that Adobe is pointing too. You can get the working download here:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_10.exe
That solved my problem immediately.
I got this info from this post on the Adobe forum:

Flash Download Problems
WindowsXP SP3
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20110902 SeaMonkey/2.3.3
(Note well: Internally, SeaMonkey 2.3.3 is the same as Firefox 6.0.2. They both use the same Gecko 6.0.2 for rendering Web pages, interfacing with the Internet, downloading, etc.) They differ only in the user interface (menus, buttons, etc).
I see two problems when trying to download a new version of Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. .
1. Your Web server is sniffing for my browser. I select the "Download now" button, and I get the same page all over again. The navigation is looping. If I spoof Firefox 6.0.2, however, I do get a download. This means you are sniffing for "Firefox" when you should be sniffing for "Gecko".
2. While spoofing Firefox, the download gives me install_flashplayer10_chrd_aih.exe, which is not the installer for Flash Player 10.3.183.10. Instead, it is some kind of helper. To get the correct installer file, I had to search my archives to find the URI http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win /install_flash_player_10.exe.
Both of these problems were previously cited in this forum at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3885371. Neither problem has been fixed.

I have recently download the new pages, but from time to time my computer will revert back to the previous page software what can I do to fix this problem

does anyone have a problem with the new page software? I am currrently running into the same problem with the old pages software re-appearing and any document that I had used with the new update, will not open. The system requires me to attempt to download a new version of page, when the newiest version has aleady been download and has been in operation.
What can I do to fix this problem? I desire to use the new version at all times.
Please help

You just have to be particular with which Pages version you are opening the document. use Right click on the document and choose the right version of Pages.

all thischanges to buy storge on icloud wich I cant do on my old account, can I creat an accout only for Icloud to buy storge to use it in my old accout were I need it ?

i think icloud should let you update your purchases so that the games will sync to your new computer and they will be backed up. i am not sure how to do this so you do not lose the levels you have completed.
if not can you export the game to the new computer with the current settings?
or another way is to sync to the new computer and redo all the levels you have completed again and it should take you less time?

I used Migration Assistant to copy data to an new MacBook Pro from an old via my Time Capsule. When asked if to inherit time machine history on the new Mac, I mistakenly said no. How do I go back one step to say yes?

There isn't enough space on the Time Capsule to create a separate backup of the data on the new MacBook. And I am reluctant to delete old backups of the old MacBook to create space to backup the new machine. This occurred about 3 weeks ago so the data on the two machines are now out of sync. If I start over by formatting the new MacBook and rerunning Migration Assistant to pull data from the Time Capsule, how do i preserve the last 3 weeks of data on the new MacBook, considering that I didn't keep track of which files changed in the last 3 weeks?

All the rest of the stuff is where it should be. As best I can tell. I have been going through my programs one at a time to see what works. With the change in the OS (Launchpad? What the heck?) I am finding a significant number of my old programs are not working. Some I have found upgrades. But without a working mail program, the machine is pretty useless for work.
The Apple techies had me run through 3 hours of 'stuff' (holding down keys and restarting, etc, etc). It still does not launch. I think we are waiting for a 'miracle', but I need to know now if they should just come get this piece of junk or if they really are able to find a solution in a timely manner.

Ok so heres my question. I don't understand why this sign that say "Terms n Policy of the store have changed!" and it said to go agree the new terms and policy. I did that and it went back to the app store,but then it pops out again! What do i do?!

Ok I don't understand why this sign that says "Terms and Policy of App store has changed!" So it tells me to go agree the new terms and policy. After i did that it returns to the App Store where i was before. And only like ten to five seconds it appears again! I just dont know what to do! Can anyone help me?!

Somehow I made the new tab a website (funmoods) and I want to make it back to the original new tab thing?

I think i may have downloaded a websites tool bar and it changed the normal new tab to it's website

To reset your "new tab" back to the original way, read this article:
 [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page#w_restore-the-default-home-page Restore the default home page]
If that doesn't work, you will need to uninstall the FunMoods Toolbar then repeat the steps again from the article above.
To uninstall:
 ''' Tools > Add-ons > Extensions'''
 Right-click on '''Funmoods 1.5.0''' then click the '''Remove '''button.
