Re: How to rollback FireFox
said by Jedi Writer  :. . Why do they have to make it so complicated or more accurately involving so many steps and directions and a certain prior knowledge and competency level with software and commands, profiles etc? What profile. It is just me.  It's no more difficult or complicated than anything else you do on the computer. But suit yourself.
If you're interested, here is where you can download any version of Firefox that pleases you:

I've got a buck that says Jedi Writer does, though. |

| Oracle, I've been lurking in the background, not wanting to throw in any more confusion, but I would like to ask a question, if you don't mind?
I'm not going to try to talk you into going back to Fx 2.0, so don't worry about that, this is just out of my own curiosity.
If you could, would you please tell, as best as you can, what type(s) of problem(s) you had with version 2?
This information could be useful to others in the future.
If you'd rather not, that's okay, too.
Thanks.

1 edit | After upgrading to 2.0 if I try to play the MSN video player from a video link on the MSNBC website main portal page the player loads and starts to play by beginning to unfold the MSN Butterfly symbol at which point it stops and freezes. If I click on any of the video links associated with the player's menu there is no response. BUT if I click on the upper right hand corner of the frame of the frozen video player where it says "Get more videos" it takes me to archived videos that if I click on them the MSN video player plays them. And if I expand the library selection if it includes any of the videos that were listed on the frozen MSN video player they play.
And yes I've downloaded Flashplayer 9 and installed it, uninstalled it and reinstalled it and so on to no effect.
All that changed was the upgrading to FireFox 2.0 which simultaneously coincided with the problem I've described.
I've since succesfully gone back to Firefox 1.5x but the same problem exists so I guess I can no longer lay the blame at the feet of FireFox.
By the way I really like FireFox. My only compmlaint about it in the past was it seemed like they were upgrading it every two weeks which required new plug-ins or extensions which was a hassle. They could make the upgrade a lot easier and user friendly IMO.
But overall I definitely preferred it to IE which until FireFox I had used since about 1998. But the newer versions of firefox outperformed ie--BUT IE 7 IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT OVERALL TO IE 6. IT HAS BUGS OF COURSE. AND WHY YOU MAY ASK AM I SHOUTING--I AM NOT--MY KEYBOARD IS ACTING UP AND WILL CORRECT ITSELF AFTER I REBOOT. (I HOPE)
Yep, reboot and all is well.  |

| LOL about your keyboard... 
Thanks for your reply. I'll admit that playing video's, or not playing video's, I should say, has been one of the more popular topics here.
I'm sorry to hear that going back to 1.5.x.x didn't fix your problem.
If you'd like to try Fx again sometime in the future, feel free to post back and we'll try to help.
Thanks again for your reply.

the fresh install guide works for rollbacks as well as upgrades and re-installs
