dirtwarrior Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I upgraded to the newest version of firefox the other day. Since then I have been having trouble with surfing the net. Its not as fast and it jumps to the next screen(it sometimes takes a while) and sometimes but not often just closes. Is there a way to fix this or go back to the older version without loosing my bookmarks?Has anyone else experienced this?DW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringfinger Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I haven't had any of the problems you mentioned but I'm having problems when clicking links which load external apps like Adobe or Word. Totally freezes the app.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Try to export them. If that goes well then import them back into the new install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Soul Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Is a downgrade possible without loosing bookmarks?backing your book marks up is easy,, i do mine the good ole manual way,, just go to your C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<what ever default number your assigned>and just copy the file bookmarks.html and thats itwhen your ready to use them again just make sure your new firefox is closed first and just over write the new bookmarks.html with your backed up version,,, then start up firefox and presto chango, your done..
