Comments on: HOW TO: Revert Firefox to Older Version

I am tired and vexed with all the up-dates from a plethora software distributors (MSFT,Adobe,Mozilla,Java,Corel, etc). Firefox is no exception. My feeling is if it needs an update, it should not have been released in the first place.

As for new versions (MSFT,Adobe,Sage,[not]Intuit), I do not buy them (I look for alternates). New versions rarely if ever offer anything additional worth the extra/new money–QuickBooks 2011 is an excellent example-just trashy eye candy not needed for accounting, the software’s primary purpose).

If a user buys a full version of a quality software, they ought to get the benefit of all the sub-versions (which is what what the “new” annual versions really are). If a software company wants to resell me, it had better be truly a new a program–not a reheated version of what I have. WordPerfect 6.1 still out performs the subsequent versions in speed with virtually no loss in features. It is not even 32 bit!!! (Granted, file naming is limited, but not performance or features.)

I have made it clear to the powers that be at Mozilla on numerous occasions that their so-called “improvements” are mystical at best. Soon FF will be as bloated as the other no-so-fast browsers (remember Netscape??). The latest version 4.0 is a dog. (Mozilla: Don’t bother to patch it, just pull it.)

Since there are only a half-dozen worth while add-ons to FF anyway, new versions do little for avid users. I switched to Dragon, tho’ it too is less than fulfilling. And it (like FF) doesn’t run RoboForm 6.10 (which had an excellent track record for user/purchasers until recently). They are off my list also. (Check out LastPass.)

Anyway I came here to get the low down on reverting to 3.5. That too seems misty … unclear and click through is likely.

Yes Math, please do share any thoughts on these Opera errors I’m encountering. I believe it has got to do with either a misconfiguration or interfering program, because I have not set a firewall on my computer.

Looking forward to more of your tips.

Hi. I have never experienced any problem whatsoever with any new release of FF. It's always run flawlessly for me. Maybe my use of just two addons could also be a factor. But for all I know, every new version of FF works best for me. Note: Links removed as per Comment Policy.

Hi James,

I’m glad that I was able to help you retain your Firefox installation. You wouldn’t mind sharing them this post don’t you? Hey, I was planning to install Opera so hopefully I can shed some light on your issue with it. Most of the time it could be caused by a Firewall issue, misconfigurations in the computer or some programs that are interfering with Opera.

Hi Mathdelane, this post proves to be really in good timing. All of my friends here at the office have been complaining about slow loading and certain buggy functioning in accessing our yahoo mails with firefox. A lot of them have moved to opera and safari. As for me, I think I shall remain stucked with firefox since my recent installations of opera and safari did not work. Both output “not connected to internet” or something to that effect.

Thanks to this post, I won’t have the slowest browser in our office.
