I find the current version of Firefox extremely difficult to use. Can I use a lower level version of Firefox??

I find it extremely difficult using the current version of Firefox. Navigating through open pages is cumbersome and at times, closing tabs is not possible. I have to close Firefox and restart. I would like to download an older version of Firefox. Is this possible?? If not, I will go elsewhere. Regards, Jerry

How are you trying to close tabs when that happens? Does it work if you middle click a tab?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

If you want to restore the old appearance then you can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.

  • Click the Menu Bar entry and place a check-mark to make the Menu Bar visible all the time.
  • Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

You can use this extension to get the Status Bar back:

More tips here:

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.

Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:

  • Right click on the Back or Forward button
  • Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
