This morning when I turned my computer, Firefox automatically updated to Firefox 9. I did not want to update as I am happy with 8. I actually didn't want to go to 8 because of the problems with using Recipefox, but at least it works sometimes. How can I go back to what I have been using. I do not want automatic updates done to my browser. I will update when I am ready.

Recipefox 0.63 is claimed to be compatible with Firefox versions 3.5 - 10

Firefox 8.0 was superceded by Firefox 8.0.1 which was superceded by Firefox 9.0 which was superceded by Firefox 9.0.1.

  • Is is not advisable to use Firefox 8.0 as it has security and stability issues that have not and will not be corrected.
  • Each new version supercedes the previous version and the previous version is then no longer supported.
  • Only Firefox 3.6.25 and Forefox 9.0.1 are currently supported and updated.

I am currently using Firefox 3.6.26 because I found Firefox 10 to be unstable it kept hanging and also could not use IE tab and as I have lost IE8 as corrupt and cant uninstall had to downoad Chrome to download 3.6.26 and unintall 10 etc.

Now I find that I cant update any of my add ons in 3.6.26 I get this message.

Firefox could not install updates to add ons bcause unexpected installation error. Review the error console log for more details.

I havent got a clue where this log is kept not tech minded can find my way around if directed step by step but this is new.

I love Firefox and was happy enough with Firefox 8.0 and 8.01 but trouble started with 9.01 and 10 well..........

I would go back to Firfox 8 as I had a version but when I loaded it - it just updated itself next time it booted up etc.

So went back to last known stable happy with it 3.6

I dont like Chrome it is clunky and have unsed Firefox for last what 9 years and happy until now.

so can someone help me with add ons update for 3.6 until they sort out the latest version and I see now Firefox 11 is out - they sure come fast and furious maybe too fast?
