Mister Roboto posted:What's the easiest way to downgrade to that specific version? I assume your using the us version so simply download this:> http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.6.22&os=win&lang=en-US Then simply go to Control Panel :> Add remove Software :> Select Firefox and run the uninstall Let it keep your custome settings etc, then once the un-installation has finished simply run the installer that you just downloaded, then once that is done re-launch firefox you will need to push ALT then click View and Toolbars then select menu bar that way it appears back. If your really worried about your profile & settings being screwed then simpy grab http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ make a backup of your current ff6 profile before uninstalling, then once you have removed it and re-installed 3.6.22 and if it happens to not have your settings etc then simply run mozbackup clicking the restore button selecting the file & location you stored the backup and it will re-apply your settings etc.

So on firefox 8 is stylish and userstsyles working correctly for any one else? it says it's updated and enabled, i only use the 1 stylish script "mark links as visited" the script doesn't appear to be working. i've downgraded back to 3.6.24 currently, and it's working perfectly normal, but on version 8 doesn't

Install Gentoo posted:Stylish works perfectly for me on 8, Scriptish does as well. mainly because i really just don't like the new interface, i love the old 3.6 interface and it still displays webpages without issues. Mozilla is still releasing security patch's so no harm no foul. Will try once again uninstalling & deleting the old profile stuff, then doing a complete clean re-install to ff8 and try again.

ryanbruce posted:Is that *actually* XP you're running in classic mode? No offense but I'm guessing that's why you're so attached to FF of yesteryear. Not sure about the other person, but i'm using win7 and i've always been inlove with the old win2000 classic style, so i pretty much don't care much for the "eye candy" win7 offers. Thus i prefer the classic style. and i've spent time "customizing" the latest offerings from mozilla, but i just don't care for the new interface or the x,y,z new features. while they still offer security updates etc for 3.6.* then i'll probably just stay using it.

Is there an addon that will somehow or another tell me what parts of a page that's loading are taking longer? Right click on the Adblock Plus icon, then select "Show blockable Items" then right click the scripts etc that you want blocked and click "Block this Item" then on the little popup that appears customize the filter until happy then select save, rinse & repeat

Manslaughter posted:Firefox gurus, help! Recently youtube just plain doesn't work in firefox any more. Flash says it is up to date and noScript/ABP aren't stopping them. What the butts is going on? Everything works fine in Chrome but I'm trying to develop web apps for multiple browsers and I'm running into problems that I think are being caused specifically by my messed up firefox because they don't happen on my work computer. refresh your profile, Note down your extensions/ addons as the reset button will restore everything but your extensions / addons. Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Reset Firefox if that doesn't work then un-install flash. Restart and then grab the latest flash version and install. also are you sure you haven't accidently disabled flash related option via noScript / ABP?

i've always just about:support then under Profile Folder selected Show Folder, then closed FF once the profile window pops up, then simply select all then copy into a new folder on the Desktop. Then once copy completed transfer to removable storage. On new install or different device simply do the about:support select the show folder option then close FF & then copy the contents from that folder you created into the profile window that pops up overwriting everything. Re-launch FF and everything is how it should be. Started doing this after a few corrupted backups from mozbackup started happening since leaving the 3.6.# versions

about:support then click Show Folder, close firefox then Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C create a new folder on a USB stick then Ctrl-V to paste everything into the usb folder, put usb in new machine, then open firefox on that machine, do About:support click show folder close firefox, then CTRL-A to select all mash the Delete button then open your usb open the folder you created and then select all CTRL-A then CTRL-C then CTRL-V into the folder firefox opened. log-out then backin and relaunch firefox and everything should be how it was on the old machine.

Are they're any extensions / addons etc that can auto-magically translate the page to english ? Something like what Chrome does when visiting a webpage that is in a different language it auto-magically refreshes the page and makes it english translation.

Loved using Vivaldi, but i could never work out how/why i could never get any audio to play on videos on YT or while watching Twitch streams. So just stuck with Chrome, use the same extensions/addons that i used on firefox in chrome @ Vivaldi and chrome performs so much better then firefox, it was like i was using an 386 PC when using Firefox clicking menu's took forever to open opening tabs took forever wereas Vivaldi @ Chrome perform like there on some good juice. if it weren't for the audio issue i would be using Vivaldi 24/7 such a nice looking browser

I used this guide :> https://www.groovypost.com/howto/create-and-manage-multiple-profiles-in-firefox-2/ and i am able to have seperate windows open at the same time each using a different profile. I did manually install firefox into 4 different folders and changed stuff in the about : config thing also. i did it years ago and it just somehow still works. But i'm pretty sure that i used that guide. to open a new window using a different profile i have to select the iCon on the desktop with the relevant profile name and it will open a new window with that profile loaded. I also changed the firefox icons to help distinguish each firefox profile.
