How to return to a previous version of firefox? I've recently updated to 8, but there are a few extensions for my work which are not compatible with the new version.

The extension I need should be compatible with versions 6 and 7.

Hey ZachLynn,

There are many benefits to the latest version of Firefox. What extension Miss do you?

If you want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a glance section of the Knowledge Base install an older version of Firefox.

Hope this helps!

  • Old favorites are not compatible with the version 20 + Firefox

    General information:
    I use the old client version 3.6 given that an old utility addon author stopped update and will not work with the new revisions. Despite disabling the update featured on: config and in preferences, the browser refreshes still finished (initially I was using 3.4 and would prefer to use that, but no matter how I try I can is no longer cancel 3.6 to 3.4 even if I reinstall using an Installer 3.4). Accordingly, I had the habit of keeping a copy of my directory of firefox where it updates again without asking, she has. This could help the guy out to meet countless people who have lost their favorites because of the upgrade released this year and I hope that someone to investigate and release a patch/utility to fix the problem.

    Question:
    I checked that the most recent customer since at least version 20 and leave, are not compatible with the old bookmark JSON files. Those who have been upgraded to the latest revision not only lose their favorites, but cannot restore them either, as Firefox only returns the error message: "unable to process the Backup File.

    I confirmed that the files themselves are perfectly intact with no sign of corruption and are as expected. Restore ok old revisions of browser (in my case specifically 3.6), they will not restore the most recent customer reviews. This isn't a fault with bookmark backups, but with new clients (I guess they changed the way they store information in the JSONs at some point. I note in the code for the JSONs GUID has never been used in old revisions, but it is in the most recent revision. Maybe it's causing an incompatibility problem? You just need to adjust the client so that it looks for the GUID and if none can be found to ignore it rather than decide that the file is corrupted.

    Solution?
    In my case, I had a copy backup of the old directory for review. To restore I opened the copy and export bookmarks as an HTML, that I restored in the most recent client. If you don't have a copy of the former client, the best thing would be to try and re-install an older revision of the customer and either make a copy of the program folder and use another copy of that you can use the new and old customers and you worry about the loss of an older revision, since you'll always have 2 copies of the former client (the one you use the one that you use to restore in the case of at level). Or export bookmarks to an HTML element, and then upgrade the client to the newest and import the HTML instead of JSON files.

    Please review and create a more simple solution to a problem of stupid incompatibility. ^_^

    There are a number of operations in the file places.sqlite which are obsolete.
    For example,.

    setItemGUID (aItemId, aGUID) obsolete since Gecko 14.0 - returns a unique global identifier for the element. This is mainly for use by extensions that synchronize data between different profiles bookmark.



    Former id snippit:
    "title": "','id': 1,"dateAdded": 1306666129870000,"
    New snippit
    {"title": "","guid": "5rkFafJ6AnRZ",""id ": 1, 'index': 0, 'dateAdded': 1396387525168000"}

    There are other identifier here has changed, I think in version 14
    «Note: the importHTMLFromFileToFolder() method has been removed in Gecko 14.0 (14.0 Firefox / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).»

    But more likely the former is Netscape format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra.../aa753582%28VS.85%29.aspx

    I tried this however: I installed the old version (3.5) and updated to the current version. All my favorites were there. I had to check the updates and could not skip certain steps of 3.5 to 3.6 for example. He then went from 3.6 to 12, then with todays update went straight to 30. They're all here. However nothing is perfect, backup is recommended as well.

    Back to your question, makes it easier for backward compatibility, my hypothesis is that they changed with the updates and ignored some versions. Saved profiles or places.sqlite files may be missing this change because the format changes in the update?

    My suggestion would be filing a bug at this request, providing a few cases where this would be necessary. Currently only the current version of Firefox is supported, which can leave us to the work around that you are currently using.

  • Firefox wants to update (again!) now at version 6. How will I know that my extensions are compatible with the new version?

    I checked with the developer of the extension sites, but they do not yet report if the extension has been tested with Firefox 6.0. 3.6-4.0 switch left me with a gap in functionality of my extensions, although the switch of 4.0 to 5.0 went smoothly. I remember that the installer for 4.0 tested my extensions for compatibility before asking me to confirm if I wanted to install. 6.0, however, says he is already downloaded and just waiting for me to restart Firefox. Mozilla seems to be getting less polite and more aggressive on updates.

    When Firefox starts to install the updated version, it shows you the Add-ons that won't be Compatible with the new Firefox version that is being installed. You can cancel the Installation at this stage.

    I'm not sure about this, but you can also use - Add-on Compatibility Reporter 0.8.7

    Hello

    1. which edition of Windows are you using? Is - this edition is 32-bit or 64-bit?
     
     
    Given that the game is compatible with Windows 7, I suspect that the conflict can be 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
    The link below shows the compatibility of this game with Windows 7.
     
     
    Method 1.
    We must ensure that the edition of the game must correspond with the operating system.
    If you use 64-bit in this game, you need the 64-bit Windows to install it.
    Method 2.
    If the above information matching I you recommend to start the computer in clean condition and then try to install the game.

    What antivirus you typed the problem started?

    It seems fishy to me, it could be a virus that has been downloaded at a given time, perhaps even until this program was installed. I would try an online virus scanner.

    And: http://quickscan.bitdefender.com/en/ (from what I hear, it removes something fishy, so be careful!)
    It should work with IE (Internet Explorer).
    Curiously, the ones I tried before I could not find, so I did a quick search and these look good.
    I forgot to ask sooner, but you can open command prompt (start > Accessories > try click right-click on command prompt, and then run as administrator)?

  • File is not compatible with the current version of Photoshop

I can't open it with any another application either. How is it possible that I can not open a file I just worked with and saved permanently? Is it possible to recover an earlier version of the file?

    Hi NonMeek,

    It seems that the file has been corrupted somehow.

    Would suggest you to run Photoshop as administrator and then try to open that specific file.

    If this does not help, you can download this file somewhere and share the download link so that we can try to open it on our end.
