How to re - install a new firefox 7 (or even return to 6) and keep my settings & Add ons?

Sigh, wish that I had never updated. FF7 was complicated due to the constant crashes and unexpected downturns on many websites (I have a decent computer, intel i5, 8 GB of ram, but I have also 1-2 dozen tabs open most of the time).

I think maybe a new start on firefox (I've been on this 'profile' for several years now) can help. But I don't want to lose all the Add-ons that I put it in (including some of those that I disabled, but would like to keep in any case, because they can be useful in the future).

I can get my bookmarks and firefox via Firefox sync settings, I guess. I have my passwords stored locally using roboform, and I don't care about my story, etc..

So, how to re - install a new copy of firefox 7 (or maybe even back to 6) and get my modules back (a better way than to make a list and installing each one individually) and possibly keep some of the settings of these modules (I know that some of them won't let me export their settings)? Thank you.

Firefox 8 comes out November 8, look for this 9 unless you like try all day to see if help > show about an update. In fact if your haste try mozilla.com 8.

  • I want to get rid of the Bing screen, but there is no "menu at the top of the Firefox window" for me "Select tools and then select the Add-ons menu item.

    I suddenly have a 'Bing' screen when I connect on Firefox - and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
    1 "in the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt tools, and then select the Add-ons menu item." - but I don't see any 'menu item' tools, or much less modules.
    2. "in the window modules, click the Extensions Panel"- but how to find the Modules window?
    3. find the Bing and extended support to search toolbar in the list and then click on disable for each of them. ' - but what and where exactly is - this?

    At the top of the screen is only an icon of Yahoo to the left and to the right of it, a search box, 'Web search', 'My Apps,' Yellow Pages,""Weather","Updates"and"Skype ". to the right of the people, there is a green cross saying "add more applications. to your toolbar"and to the right of this one kind of gear shift looking icon saying"toolbar settings ".
    So, in short, how can I get rid of the Bing screen and how to access these tools?
    Thank you.

    Versions of Firefox 3.6 + have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.

    Press the Alt key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open view > toolbars and select menu bar, so it has a check mark.

    The F10 can also be used on most PCs to temporarily reveal the menu bar.

  • Elements 9 How do I install a new font

    I have photoshop elements 9 and wonder how to install a new font.  I installed a new font in my Windows system, but elements do not pick it up.

    I downloaded and installed the fonts you mention. I was able to find it in the list of fonts within Photoshop Elements, however, it does not appear in the list in alphabetical order. This is the way down at the bottom together with some Japanese fonts. This has something to do with the way in which the police is coded.

    Try this, instead of seeking to "batang" on the list of fonts, simply type in the name of the police at the top of the list:
