Before with firefox 3 and 4 I could call phone numbers with skype directly off of the web page by clicking the phone number. This feature no longer functions in firefox 5. What do i need to do. When I go to your website I can only download 5. I would like to back up a version if I need to because I use this skype calling numbers function daily. Please help

Firefox 4.0 is no longer available. You can download to the previous secure version which is 3.6.19 from here: Download Firefox v3.6.19

To ensure a clean installation, please do the following:

  1. Go to "Programs and Features" in Control Panel and remove "Mozilla Firefox" choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).

  2. Then reboot, open Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox".

  3. Finally run the installation file you downloaded earlier.

Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

Having said that, make a backup of your bookmarks as a precaution as follows:

  1. Click the orange Firefox button, go to Bookmarks, then Show All Bookmarks to open the Bookmarks Manager.

  2. Click the link to Import and Backup and then click Export HTML and save the file somewhere.

You can use the same Bookmarks Manager to import the file you saved by choosing "Import HTML".
