How do I revert to an earlier release? One of the sites I go to to watch [porn] videos no longer works, since upgrading to 2.0.0.6. All told, I can't complain. This is only the second time since switching, that Firefox has done something that really annoys me, and because I'm forced to use IE at work, I know I prefer Firefox. But I need to roll back to the earlier release.
I'm certain there is a work around for the 2.0.0.6 version (which I'm using now) but I do happen to have the 2.0.0.4 version.
Thanks. Mozilla has sure made it hard to find even the previous version to the latest release. I suppose it is on my hard drive somewhere, but I didn't want to go on a safari (no pun intended) for it. It also annoys me that you can't download it without the frelling Google Toolbar. What if I don't WANT the Google Toolbar? On an unrelated topic, has anyone played with Seamonkey? I'm using Firefox and Thunderbird, and I've considered switching to Seamonkey but just haven't gotten around to it.
I don't see how it's not. It's where to get non-current releases of Firefox, which was one of the things he wanted, right?
I use FF, but I don't think I've ever installed or used Google Toolbar. All in all, I hate web-browser toolbars.
Is it really though? How can you tell? Each link clicked leads deeper and deeper into an unnavigable abyss!
Into madness! Insanity! One look into the abyss shattered my soul and left my mind quivering and defenseless in the darkness!
Speaking of...I have a Firefox on here that I never got in the habit of using because i was too lazy to switch over all my bookmarks. but IE has developed a memory leak or something (for which I'm sure there's an answer out there but i'm too lazy to look for that too) and if run long enough will eventually freeze. So, firefox devotees....tell me how I can move SOME but not all of the IE bookmarks to Firefox (I don't want all the stuff the kid has bokmarked) ?
Dude that's easy. Don't you ever look at your tabs? Go to File and then hit import. I went from Firefox to IE back to Firefox with the new version. I like it much better now. They added some tweaks that make it as good as some of the stuff IE had. I also like having my favorite sites on the bar for easy clicking.
To be fair, he wanted to do it selectively, rather than just pulling them all in. Shep, you could put all your kid's bookmarks into a folder in IE, then import into Firefox. Then, you only have one folder to delete from Firefox, rather than a bunch of bookmarks.
Just on the off-chance anyone cares, yesterday Firefox was working. The page was letting movies download just fine. Then I got kicked off the wireless router (it times out on us, but it's free so I can't really bitch). When I reconnected the bug was back. So Firefox is off the hook. Partly. It's some weird Perfect Storm of the browser, the site, and the ISP.
Ever since getting Vista I've used IE again. Just don't see any big advantages to Firefox anymore. I'm sure there is, but now that IE has tabbed browsing, it doesn't matter to me much. I'm not a big web surfer.
I have. It's terrible. Slow as hell, the menus barely work, OS X text rendering (which looks good when on an entire system, but just in one window...uhg), poor tab support, and exploit patches every few days. This one wasn't ready for a public beta.
