If you need assistance with the process, please contact the ITS Help Desk. You can find directions to disable auto-updating here. Once you've installed a supported version, we highly recommend that you adjust the settings such that Firefox will no longer automatically update. Then, you'll need to go into your Applications folder, and move Firefox to the trash.

With all these tweaks, you latest version of Firefox should look just like an older version but if you think you donвЂ™t like the changes, you can always revert them.Given the aggressive new release schedule of Firefox, ITS is unable to assure complete compatibility with the newest versions of Firefox with all of the web-based software on campus. IвЂ™ve been using it right from Firefox 4 and works with the latest version. There are more than one add-ons for this purpose but I prefer Status-4-evar. I never open a page without looking at it. рџЂ More importantly, the status bar clearly shows which address my browser is connecting to apart from the present page, location of external resources like images, scripts and everything. If youвЂ™re on a slow connection, itвЂ™s the only way to know how far youвЂ™ve gone and how long you have to wait before your page opens. Perhaps the little progress bar at the bottom was considered useless but actually, itвЂ™s not. And finally, getting back the status bar! This puts your tabs further lower like it used to look like on Firefox 3. Go to View > Toolbars > Unmark Tabs on top. This is totally optional but if you think the position of those tabs isnвЂ™t right, you can move them to where they used to be. вЂ“ Repeat the same thing and click on Add-on toolbars. Go to View > Toolbars > Click on Bookmarks toolbar. вЂ“ The old menu should now be restored but wait, weвЂ™re no done yet. вЂ“ Click the menu labelled Firefox at the top-left and go to Options.

The first thing I normally do is to restore the tool bars: The bookmark tool bars, addon tool bar and menu bar. This tweaks work for Firefox 4 down to Firefox 13 and newer updates thatвЂ™ll be released in the near future I guess.

Of course you can make the new versions of Firefox look like what it used to be and some users already know how to achieve that but not everyone knows their way around the settings. That single menu labelled Firefox at the top left annoys meвЂ¦ maybe IвЂ™m old school, but I love the old look more рџЂ Granted, the new layout looks sort of modern since thatвЂ™s what Opera, Google Chrome and the rest of them now looks like but that old layout is what I, like some people, prefer. Till date, IвЂ™m yet to get used to the new look and after every new Firefox installation on any of my machines, I always tweak it to make the browser look like the old Firefox 3. One other thing was the way tabs was arranged, and some toolbars that was hidden. ItвЂ™s hard to figure out why it was removed but like most people, I missed it. Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open the terminal and copy-paste this code: sudo apt remove firefox To uninstall Firefox current version.

Firefox revert to previous version archive#

Go to Firefox Release archive and download a suitable version for you. One of the things most people missed was the status / progress bar. This is how I downgraded to Firefox 50 version from version 57. Starting from Firefox 4, certain things changed in Firefox lots of users thought wasnвЂ™t right.
