I'm on Firefox 17.0.11, if I uninstall Firefox and reinstall Firefox 17.0.11, I always get my original addons and bookmarks back?
IAM short of space on my hard drive, I prefer just to re - install Firefox 17.0.11
on my external hard drive, I have more than 200 GB of free space.
Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.
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 make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
Note that there is a version of Firefox 24.1.1 ESR if you want to stay on the ESR update channel.

I installed the new version 13, called Aurora. I currently have, but if I start to dislike the new features (until now I do! But I have to ask) can I 'come back' to the 'good old' Firefox 11?
Will I be losing my data and settings? History and bookmarks?My computer is a Pentium M 1, 6 GHz (2004) and version 11 seemed very stable. I installed Aurora is because I wanted to try your new software.
Yes, you can uninstall the aurora and install the latest stable version whenever you want without losing the personal data because your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
Thank you

A former programmer, I am appalled that such a poor version would be released! It reminds me of dealing with Windows 98!
Sorry to hear that. You can return to the v3.6.16, but in the end, support is removed for that eventually.
To return to an earlier version, download Firefox 3.6.16
Then go to add/remove programs and choose to uninstall Firefox 4.0, but don't check the option to delete your bookmarks, customizations etc. Those who will be selected for you so that you can continue to use them when you reinstall v3.6.16
Restart and then run the downloaded v3.6.16 file.
Check from time to time if there is any security updates released for this version by clicking help | Look for the updates

I just got a very stripped down Android tablet, which is all that I need. The browser is not exactly feature rich, but I don't want to lose if the Firefox browser does not work on the tablet.
sl215 Hello, of course - install firefox on android will happen besides the default browser that is already on the device and will not affect it. If this does not work for you, you can easily uninstall the application again through google game store.

After the last update, placed Firefox download dialog box and bookmarks in the same dialog, which cannot see both at the same time. I can't find any option to separate the two. It's severely cramping my workflow. Can you tell me how I can see once more my download progress in a single window and my favorites in another?
You can view the new download manager in a tab by opening the words: download page and you can consider opening this page in a separate window.

I know how to set correctly in homepage. I'm an experienced user. My problem is when I start Firefox 20.0.1 it always starts two tabs. The first is the correct home page. The second is a blank tab switching to. I want only the first tab that is the home page. How to stop the second tab to open. The homepage is defined only with a URL and is correct.
Note that you enter the permanent private browsing mode if you select "never remember history".

Update of Firefox, and now history, open tabs and bookmarks have disappeared
Hi all
I rebooted and Firefox automatically promoted in 15.0.1 v. All my favorites, history and open tabs have disappeared. I am running Vista.

Such a pain that all disappeared! Hoping someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Latest ubuntu update - help Firefox and bookmarks missing - why?
I've just updated to the latest Ubuntu and Firefox lacks the Menu Help and the drop down for bookmarks. The only choices in the right side menu of the mouse in the area of the tabs are:
Navigateion toolbar, tabs on the toolbar, toolbar add-on, bookmarks on Top and customize. I cannot yet understand what version of Firefox I have.It seems that I can add bookmarks, but her do not appear when I press the little drop-down arrow in the Navigation bar.
In the window of my browser, nothing between the title bar and the navigation bar.
What gives?
Thank you
Herb MillerHi herb,
It would be helpful to know what version of ubuntu you are using. I am currently in Ubuntu LTS of 11.4 using Firefox canonical 15.0a2 (Aurora)
Try to press and hold the Alt key on the keyboard that can display all of the menu items.
To find out which version you are using, try the troubleshooting option. If this does not work in the menu, use the address bar when you type in web addresses and go to Subject: support . It is another method to obtain the same information.
If you have the favorite item on the file or ubuntu bar then drop down to the bookmarks are not available, use the favorite item that you have, or the sidebar which can be accessed using the keyboard Ctrl + B
If you disable the menutoolbar so that the firefox button is available the drop-down list of bookmarks reappear (you may need to add back in Customizing).
You have the menu global integration and/or ubufox installed and active.

I updated Firefox on my Mac (10.6.8), and now the story is not known (that option is checked) and the back button will not work. Help?
One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.
