Windows 8 old version download

If there is a problem with a Firefox version, most people will try to revert Firefox back to the way it was before and downgrade it, but we do not recommend this action. Downgrading Firefox leaves a user more vulnerable to attacks and, on most occasions, doesn't fix the problem that occurred while updating. This article gives you some alternatives to downgrading and links to old versions of Firefox, if you do choose to downgrade.

Problems with an update are generally not caused by the new version of Firefox, but rather the update process. Installing a previous version will not help in most cases. Instead, see:

Important: By default, Firefox is set for automatic updates. To prevent Firefox from automatically updating itself after you install an older version, you'll need to change your Firefox update settings: Click the menu button and select rushbrookrathbone.co.ukences. In the General panel, go to the Firefox Updates section.

Instead of downgrading to an older, insecure version of Firefox and changing your update settings, you should consider these alternatives:

Install Firefox Extended Support Release.Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) is an official version of Firefox developed for large organizations like universities and businesses. Firefox ESR does not come with the latest features but it has the latest security and stability fixes. For more information, see the article Switch to Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) for personal use.

Use the latest version of another browser. If the current Firefox version is not to your liking or just not working right now, there are alternative browsers that you can use to browse the web.

If the latest version of Firefox is causing problems for you or you just don't like something about it, please give us feedback about it here:
