how to downgrade my firefox?


Recommended Posts

Simply find the version you're after and install it over your current one. I'm still on 28.0.

Ha, I was on 26 until last week. And in all that time (since late 2013), there's virually no performance increase for Firefox that I notice with the latest v37. The only reason I updated is some websites are begining to break because they dropped the use of Firefox's proprieratary tag -moz.

 

I hate Firefox stupid ugly design begining with 29 and the main reason I didn't upgrade. Wasted a few hours last week putting together the Chrome style tabs in stylish. If anyone want to use it to cover up the dreaded look of Firefox, you can find it on userstyles.org here.

Or you could have just used this extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/?src=cb-dl-users

Yeah, if you hate the theme you can change it, running outdated insecure versions is just opening yourself up for attack.

I don't want to have to install anothe extension and slowdown the already bloated Firefox.

If you keep up a good practice of knowing what not to click, you should be fine. Also, Firefox update breaking extensions is another reason I didn't update and wait for the author to catch up.

May be interested in Firefox ESR

Downloads - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/

 

It's only updated once a year, and during that year, gets security updates only. 

The current base is version 31, but it's about to switch over to version 38 latter this month.

 

It's target is enterprises that need a stable firefox with security updates, but no major changes on the browser / how it renders / engine.

I'm on Firefox version 37.0.2 and have had no problems with the performance of it. I don't think Firefox looks ugly. That website mentioned by Celta has had only 49 downloads since it was written.
