Unable to fully uninstall older firefox version to install new version.

When installing new version of firefox, I receive the instruction that I should re-boot to complete removal of previous version. After doing this, I continue to receive the same instruction when I try to install again.

I am new to these forums and hope this is posted in the right one. If not, could someone direct me?
I am having a ton of problems with 5.1. I installed it last Friday (without removing the previous version) and nothing is working properly. It took me 2 days to figure out a way to delete it (uninstaller would not work). To begin with, iTunes would simply not open. I double click on the icon and nothing. Tried to re-install and same problem. Found a copy of 4.9 and installed it, but got error message stating "QuickTime failed ti initialize - Error #2095. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed. Uninstalled iTunes again and tried to uninstall QuickTime so I could start from scratch. When I run Add/Delete programs, QuickTime does not appear. However, when I run search, it lists a freaking 433 files associated with QuickTime.
Can someone tell me a simple way to erase iTunes completely from my computer? If I can do this, I will simply reinstall the original iTunes I got with my mini and not worry about updating. I don't care about the podcasts -- I just want to be able to get back to the beginning so I can import tunes to my mini. Sorry for this being so long, but I am at my wit's end dealing with this. Thanks.

  • Rendering a website in older firefox version

    Hi,
    I'm a web developer who has just recently started using Firefox again after a two year leave. I'm pretty impressed with version 8 and have started doing some development work however I need to test some pages in older versions of Firefox since my visitors still use versions <8. Is there any options that allow me to specify which version of Firefox I'd like to render the page in? There are a number of CSS styles that I need to test in both version 7 and 8.

    No, Firefox doesn't have a compatibility mode to view pages with older Firefox versions.<br />
    You will have to install additional Firefox versions if you want to test websites with that other version.<br />
    IE doesn't allow to install multiple versions, but with Firefox there is no such problem.
    Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.

    Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.
    Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

  • Should I 'uninstall' old Firefox updates after installing Firefox 8?

    I'm strictly a "button pusher" and have no clue to the 'how' a computer or its programs work. I had Firefox 1.0.6. 3.5.5, on up to 3.6.8 and I've just installed the latest Firefox 8. Am I supposed to get rid of the old versions or just leave them on the computer. I am assuming that I can't just 'delete' them but must uninstall them; is this correct or do I just leave them there?
    Thanks for any help offered.

    If you've updated Firefox every time then the previous version has been replaced by the new updated version.<br />
    If you only see entries of older Firefox versions in Add and Remove programs then that are leftover orphaned entries that haven't been removed by the Firefox updater, but the files of that older version are no longer present.

  • Firefox 4.0 address bar shortcut - used to be F6 in older firefox versions, what about firefox 4?

    Hey guys,
    pretty much wat i;ve asked in the question bar,
    Oldre firefox versions would let you type in an address by hitting F6 but what has this been changed to in firefox 4? I;ve tried various button combinations or has this been removed entirely?

    There is a bug report concerning this, F6 will not work with tabs on top.

  • Do I have to uninstall old Brother printer before installing new one?

    I have a Brother all-in-one MFC420CN that has seen better days. Just bought a new Brother all-in-one MFC-J615W. Do I have to uninstall the old one before installing the new? If so, how do I do that and how do I make sure I've gotten rid of everything connected wtih the old printer?

    You don't have to uninstall the old printer. It is not going to cause you any trouble, just make the new printer the default one. If you want to uninstall it, go to System Preferences>Print & Scan. Click on the old printer and click the minus sign on the bottom.

  • I am unable to fully uninstall Firefox 4 on y dad's windows 7 computer. I click uninstall under programs and nothing is happening. Any suggestions?

    While my father was uninstalling firefox 6 he did not realize that he and my mother were logged in as users and had the application open. Firefox 6 uninstalled properly but left behind firefox 4 that will not uninstall. We have defrag the computer to make sure that the program was not seperated. He is logged in as the admin user. He has tried to download the new firefox 6 again but it will not install, I figure this is due to how he uninstalled with it open. Can you please point me in the right direction to correct this.

    I assume that you have been to the Control Panel and checked Programs and Features that it is uninstalled.
    Now open Internet Explorer and go into Internet settings, here make IE your default browser.IMPORTANT STEP, you need to reset the registry by doing this, if you don't you leave an invalid link to Firefox.
    If you are willing to dump everything from Firefox you can go to c:/Windows/Program Files and delete the Mozilla Firefox folder, now go to your Start menu and open Run, here type %appdata% in the folder you will find the Mozilla folder, delete it.
    Firefox will now be gone from your computer, restart your computer and download and install Firefox.

  • Just updated to Firefox 4.0 and can't download former 3.6 version as suggested by others...what can I do since I have Mac OSX 10.4.11 and can't download older Firefox version?

    When I went to the website suggested in the forum to download the older 3.6 version of Firefox, there was nowhere I could click to download this older version. Firefox recommends and had a place to click on downloading 4.0. How can I get the best of both without having to upgrade my Mac OSX? Please send me a reply ASAP! Thanks!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. 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 do I get back features from older Firefox versions?

    Some features of older version FF are gone from FF 4.0.
    3 I particularly miss:
    (1) Percentage bar in upper left corner page of Inbox messages. GONE!
    (2) I could click on arrow on right side panel (annoying ads) and hide said panel and widen my Inbox message area. This useful feature now GONE!
    (3) Most important of all I could click on an e-mail picture file and preview thumbnail of photo before downloading it. Someone in their wisdom decided that that wasn't useful or timesaving; now that's GONE!
    My question is are there any plug-ins or add-ons available to get these features back in Version 4.o?
    If so, I'd like specific instructions on how to do this.

    I know that Firefox doesn't do e-mail, but I view my e-mail through SmartZone which I access through Firefox browser.
    If there is a way to view messages in SmartZone without going through either Firefox or Internet Explorer I'd love to know about it.
    Thanks.

  • Is there an older firefox version for my MAC G4 OSX.4.11

    How can I download an older version of firefox?

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ <br />
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/downloads/list
    Or use 3.6.22 from Mozilla. <br />

  • Where do I get 64bit firefox builds? where do I get older firefox versions?

    This is really frustrating.
    After installing Iceweasel 20 from my distribution it no longer restores previous session on startup.
    My distribution no longer carries firefox 18 which was the previous version. It carries a version of iceweasel 10 which does not have this problem.
    Sure, the problem is not reproducible with fresh profile but I do not want a damn empty profile. I want my history.
    And downloading 64bit version or older version of firefox from mozilla.com is near impossible. No links are provided. You can at best try random URLs in the hope you find one that leads somewhere.

    And where *are* those supported Linux 64 bit builds?
    And older releases?
    The download page offers just "Linux"

  • Will current versions of Firefox emulate older Firefox versions of browsers like IE8 or allow someone to open with another browser in Safari?

    The compatibility function in IE8 allows me to emulate an older version of a browser when software won't work with IE8.
    I can emulate a different browser when I use Safari 5. Can you do this with Firefox?

    You could try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909/ IE Tab Plus] or the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ IE Tab 2] add-on. These add-ons do not emulate IE, but allow you to open IE inside a Firefox tab for sites that do not work in Firefox.
    The main difference between the 2 versions of IE Tab is that IE Tab Plus supports the Adblock Plus add-on whilst in IE mode.

  • Uninstall Mozilla Firefox Version 8.01 (X86en-US) after a crash when remove icon in install/uninstall programs will not remove program

    Operating System is Windows XP Service Pack 3.
    Wish to uninstall program and install later version of Mozilla Firefox - Firefox 10

    First of all find and make a copy of your [[profiles|profile]] include all folders and sub files, and put it somewhere safe, the XP desktop is a suitable location. That allows you to restore settings and bookmarks etc after a re-install.
    *see [[backing up your information]]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
    Firefox upgrades will normally install over the top of existing versions without any need to uninstall, but in your case it is probably worth deleting the program folder prior to installing as a clean install
    * see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    One of your Crash IDs is giving a null signature, the crash is of a type that is not generating and submitting useful information [https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/cf3778b1-05f0-4636-9678-368932120202 cf3778b1-05f0-4636-9678-368932120202]

  • When upgrade from an older firefox version where an existing plugin was ready enabled, would this plugin become "ask to activate" after upgrade to v26?

    What's the user experience if he/she upgrade from an older version of Firefox, where an existing plugin was ready enabled, would this plugin become "ask to activate" after the user upgrade to Firefox v26?

    If plugins.click_to_play was set to true, it might. I am finding that click-to-play is not working very well with Firefox. Whether the plugins are set to Always Activate or Ask to Activate, it allows everything from a website to load once it is allowed from the icon in the address bar. I also have the extension Click to play per-element, and that seems to make no difference.
