Why disable common features and hide completely to use a new version of firefox
When a new version of Firefox comes out the end, all to often when there new features or a programmer has a different idea of what they like from the previous version, the features are enabled by default and things are rearranged without any choice by the user. A concrete example is that when I installed Firefox 24 on my wife's computer he disabled the menu bar and put the tabs on top. To add insult to injury, there is no settings option to put the hind below! I do not how much someone loves the tabs on the top, the right way to handle these kinds of feature upgrades is to leave everything as it was in terms of parameters and display a web page that contains a button that says what each change with a Yes and no button so that the user can try if they want TO or not , and not just say (effectively) "we are the Lords and ask you to use this and we know better. If this method is too difficult then just don't change the settings and leave a page "what's new". I know it is free SW and contribute many dedicated, but to do your darnedest to confuse or annoy your users is not the way to do it. Imagine if you took your car to have a new mounted radio and when you got the brake pedal was in the backseat and the guy said "we like better that way.
BTW, to have the tabs just above the web pages you are watching way makes more sense to have the 3 lines now.
Hello
Most people answer on the support forum is volunteers of Mozilla (including me) so we are not able to comment on that kind of decision. We are not involved in choosing how new versions are gone.
The best place to make a comeback would be this page:
https://input.Mozilla.org/en-GB/feedback
If you want to make Firefox v24 v3 looks like, then you can use a theme such as Firefox 3 theme.

I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

I have upgraded to a netbook linux Ubuntu 12.04 17 Mint and was unaware of subsequent Sync FF28 changes. I don't have to dissociate the former firefox and the clean install of Mint17 has the new synchronization version 29? I think so. How to untie the old account so I can sync the new facility? The account had only one machine sync to it.
Sorry, your data is not recoverable from the old system of synchronization when you use the new synchronization version. The connection method is different it was with the old system, which used a 'key' in addition to the e-mail address and the password for the account. When moving from one account synchronization that Firefox data must be on the machine that has been updated to Firefox 28 to a later version when connecting to the server, the first time. That's because the new version sends the data to a new server using the same e-mail address and password, but the new 'key' is not identical to the old version - it is generated differently than before.
Here are the instructions for the update to the new sync:
Synchronize your bookmarks Firefox, history, passwords, etc.In conclusion, no Sync version was intended to be used as a backup media for a single device, it was intended to synchronize Firefox data between multiple devices. Some users have done work with a single device, but not during the last synchronization was performed with the old version and then the user attempted to retrieve their data with the new version and a new operating system or an operating system reinstalled - which has no data of Firefox.

I am sure that I have updated to version 8 hours ago because when I look under "About Firefox" under "Help" it says "8.0.1" under the logo, and further down, "Firefox is updated." I tried to restart the computer, but the message won't go away. Something goes wrong with the update, and if so, what should I do?
I assumed that you use always the default value of old Firefox home www.google.com/firefox/ which has not been used in more recent Firefox released for a few months now, and Google is no longer updating it. Either ignore the message or change your home page in tools-> Options-> general

Hey Susan-MPC.
Have you tried to start Firefox in Mode safe? Key 'shift' startup of Firefox. It could be related to an extension. Then you should read the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems.
I see you are using an older version of Firefox as well. You can update. There are many advantages to the performance of the latest version of the browser.
Hope this helps!

WIndows 7, Firefox 42.0
New version of firefox, constantly keeps popping up a message asking me to "Bring your bookmarks and passwords with you." I am currently working. It shows me once then stop. OFF to Chrome I guessSorry, this is a message from the heart function. She undergoes a bug right now. Better to turn it off if you can get immediate relief.
To turn off the heart rate:
Talk openly about: config config in a tab, then search for browser.selfsupport.url and double click on it and set it to an empty value.You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

I have received several messages inviting me to download the software updates that I use. I think they are attempts to get help with phishing or such. The last "software update available" amplifies - "this new version of Firefox contains an important security and bug fixes, and much improved page rendering times offer." Is generated by anyone at Mozilla, or automatically in Mozilla? Mozilla distributes these types of messages? That Firefox is updated automatically, then these messages should have no useful function except to help with the download of some intrusive camera, which I did not need. Are there plug-ins that I should throw?
Upgrade to Firefox 35 is currently limited and not everyone gets the new update offered at this time.
If this is the case for you, then you can manually update via help > topic.See also:

install the new version of firefox will save my old settings such as bookmarks and custom parameters
If I install the new version of firefox, it will save my custom settings and bookmarks?
It seems that you already have the latest version, Firefox 6. You can look to the right of your question or you can look at help > about Firefox.
To answer your question, update usually retains your personal data (bookmarks, passwords recorded, etc.). However, it is always a good idea to keep a backup of your personal data in case of hard drive failure or accidental formatting, preferable on another hard drive, a USB pin/USB/thumb/key or a CD/DVD, so that you don't miss them. I use an add-on named FEBE for me to do on a regular basis.
