I have several versions of Firefox are installed?
I would like to install Firefox 4, but I also want to keep Firefox 3.6. I have test the web applications and therefore need several versions.
Is this possible? If so, what are the words of wisdom you can share on how to install 4 without screwing up the current installation of Firefox?
I have a Mac (OS 10.6) and Windows 7. I prefer to keep 3.6 on both, but only need to install on a 4.
You are 10 security updates behind - 3.6.16 is released yesterday.
Mac is only one version of Firefox at the same time.
Windows = install Firefox 4.0 by using the Custom Installation, in a single folder named option - as /Program Files/Firefox 4.0 /-don't let not run 4.0 after the complete installation procedure.
Create a new profile exclusively for version 4.0 beta and create a shortcut on the desktop with Pei 'profile' attached to the target to launch this profile.

Why Windows shows several versions of Firefox are installed?
I use Firefox 11.0 on Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS. Firefox seems to work very well.
When I check the list of installed programs in Control Panel that I see two versions Firefox listed (11.0 and 10.0.2). Is this normal? Setup does not remove older versions when there's an update? Is it safe for me to uninstall the old version?
Moreover, same situation for Thunderbird. It shows the two 10.0.2 and 9.0.1!
Hi cor - El thanks for the answer.
I could not find the registry key that you referenced in your response, but I did a search and found the entry here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox 10.0.2
After removing this registry entry, version 10.0.2 no longer appears in the list of installed programs, and it worked for Thunderbird 9.0.1 as well.
Thanks again.

I have an older version of Firefox and adobe on a Sony VAIO. I get telling me to update the pop-ups and also frequent failures when I try to use the browser. I try to upgrade. I go through the process of downloading, then try step execution and get a message 'not allowed '. I checked and I have administrator privileges, and I have disabled the firewall security software, thinking that it does not block the installation, but nothing works. Nobody knows if the older software are the cause and should be removed until the last version can go. Also, if this problem is solved I will have the same problem with Adobe?
What version of Firefox is installed on the computer?
You can find the full version of the current version of the current Firefox (37.0.2) in all languages and all systems operating here:
If you have a very old version of Firefox, then you might consider uninstalling this version of clean up the existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
Be sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.
Check the Firefox program folder and delete the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
- (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

I have two versions of firefox at the same time?
Hello
Probably a stupid question but I have two versions of Firefox on my system at the same time?
The reason is add-ons that are not compatible with v4. I wish I could close v4 when I need to use an Add On v3.
Thank you.
You can install both, but there are a few steps to take.
When you install Firefox 4, use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
In order to use both versions, you must create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores the user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile, you can copy some data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep synchronized profiles. Finally, you will need to implement shortcuts to launch the right profile for each version.
The following links show how to do this:

I have several versions of InDesign 6 on different MACs and need to get the serial numbers for them. How can I get them?
If they were recorded at Adobe.com, sign in under the adobe ID, a number will be there.

An add-on tells me that I have another version of Firefox I did.
I have the latest version of Firefox (5.0.1) and went to download an add-on (Scrapbook by Monday). He said that the current version of their add-on (1.4.7) is not compatible with the version I have, they tell me is 3.0.11. I know I have Firefox 5.0.1, as I downloaded it again today. Why is this?
The User Agent provided with your post (used to identify the browser you are using) shows Firefox 3.0.11:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) FBSMTWB

I still need help on the following points:
After you have installed the latest version of Firefox "restore previous Session ' is always grayed out, how to make this work?
I don't understand the solution on this site. I'm a basic user and never used another thing but windows.How to avoid auto installation of Thunderbird and Firefox versions updates? Thunderbird installed the latest version, when I clicked "On Thunderbird" to check the latest version. I had no choice, it just started installation.
Well, I think that this is a problem when you lose history that you couldn't lose. But I hope that it was only once.

My new Firefox 8 is fine. But I use the Blackboard LMS online, which has not yet been upgraded for Firefox. I was told that Blackboard works very well with firefox 3.6. Therefore, I want to know if I can get two versions of firefox on my Windows 7 laptop. Or can I only have one version at a time.
Yes - you can either use a portable version of Firefox 3.6, or you can run two profiles. If you're looking for on how to run 2 profiles there are instructions there.

Older versions of Firefox are working perfectly, but the latest version does not open.
Mozilla Firefox version 34.0.5 (x 86 en - us) when loaded down does not open. I tried to change the Admin, but to no avail. I rebooted the previous version of firefox and it worked perfectly until it was replaced with the automatic update. I have a laptop Asus G74S model with Windows 7.
It should not. The subscription expires, the program stops working.
All that has to happen is you get a warning to re - register. If you
wish, you can contact their support and ask about it.
Did you remove this program? -
