[...] Firefox has introduced a new version which combined with Google perfectly. It is lifetime free and easy to us. [...]
Upgraded to Firefox 9.01 and chaos – hangs etc etc. So uninstalled and reinatalled (5 times so far) BUT now it will not run when I click on it… HELP!!! Love Firefox and tried all the options I know but getting tired now
Why not try the latest firefox 10.0
installed FF10 – same effect. It adds icons but NOTHING happens when click on them… any other ideas?
It may be the problem with the system of your computer,not the Firefox.
Thanks but what would I do now then to resolve?
You may need to check if there are any virus or malware on your computer
Done virus etc with Avast… would that be sufficient?
Did you try uninstall it from the control panel and delete the icon on the desktop then reinstall it?
Uninstalled from Control, wiped with Ccleaner (including registry fro unused and invalid registry keys just in case), deleted all icons Desktop and Quicklaunch bar…. then reinstalled fresh (ie Not from exe file saved in Downloads
My brain is starting to hurt but Chrome is not as good and I hate IE
Thanks
Sorry but I don’t know how to solve it,never meet this kind of situation
OK thanks anyway…. Damn Windows!!
having same problem with Firefox 9 and 10. re-installed 3 times, nothing changes.
find mozilla firefox in program files (x86) and delete the file:updater.exe Nothing bad will happen.
then go to tools,options,advanced,update, and set it to not update.
check these 2 immediately after you re-install Firefox 7, and every now and then.
there is a link towards the top of THIS page to download 7.0.1
Later versions really suck, and 7 seems just right.
Thanks for taking the time Eli
I eventually and accidentally found what was happening. When downloaded the FF file did not leave the EXE extension on the Firefox file with the logo (the run command one I think) So I amended it, literally, to fiefox.exe and then double clicked… It works – Got V 7. Mind you, I cannot find the Tools button to do the other amendments Plus when you say delete the Updater.exe – I only have Updater NO EXE extension… all a bit strange but happier with FF than Chrome
If you got the time any response the last points would be appreciated
Thanks
maybe it is a toolbar issue that made the tools disappear… do you have view?
but deleting updater file is probably all you need to do.
that was sheer inspiration to change the extension
So much that i want to look in to other things you can do with changing them when things won’t open

its crazy, with FF7, still being the most stable. likely there’s stuff going on in the background with later versions that cause blocks and other havoc.
Good morning!
Happy New Year!
Health, luck and love!
Glad I found this page! Can someone put the link up to get version 7? I need my browser back , asap! Updated to version 10.1 and all my pages are text only. no graphics! I NEED HELP!
find mozilla firefox in program files (x86) and delete updater.exe Nothing bad will happen, trust that.
then go to tools,options,advanced,update, and set it to not update.
check these 2 every now and then.
You are ON the page to download it! I had the same problem, didn’t see it at first.
At the top, some info about 7.0.1, and in the end of that list, is the download link.
I made the mistake of updating! Now all my pages are white with text only! I am very novice about these issues. hope I can get this older version back! wish they’d leave it alone!
Go and reinstall windows 7.0.1, then
find mozilla firefox in program files (x86) and delete updater.exe Nothing bad will happen, trust that.
then go to tools,options,advanced,update, and set it to not update.
check these 2 every now and then.
forgot: when you do re-download ff7 or 7.0.1, you have to go back in to program files (x86) again and delete the updater again.
found out that if the tools/options/advanced/update settings don’t work, go to program files (x86), mozilla firefox,
and delete updater.exe
I like 7. just changed it back last week, and in the middle of something a few minutes ago it switched me to 9.0.1 !!!!!!!
I’m appalled, like all you. Plus, it had checked auto update in above tools file, so we will see if the updater deletion 1) stays gone, and
2) the unchecked box stays unchecked.
I’m glad there’s still download for this.. FF9 is a trash
i stupidly took the upgrade to version 9.0.1 from version 7..it is COMPLETE JUNK.so glad i found this download for version 7 to go back to.it works great.all my computers are back on this version and run flawlessly and faster than internet explorer or firefox version 9 GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER MOZILLA !!!!!!!!
Thanks for your comment.. I have had so many crashes with 9.0 so like you went back to 7.0.
FF 9 is even worse than 8 ..I hate it but like mny of you everytime I uninstall it and reinstall 7, it updates itself right back to 9 and i am so frustrated that i am about to kick ff to the curb.
To keep your ver. 7 from reverting to the ver. 9:
click on TOOLS
then ” OPTIONS
then ” UPDATE
check OFF the updates button(s) and then click OK
using ff9 no good,
going to install ff7 now
AS IAM IN NEED IT
good, hope that will be very usefull
Thanks ! I use FF 9 but not good and i reinstall FF 7
Its agreate to enjoy firefox7
I need it badly!!!! thank u firefox
i would like to download the FirFox
Lol, just got a prompt for another new release, FF v9!
I know. they are insidious.
i need it badly
I have given up on Firefox and gone with Google Chrome. Well satisfied with it.

Thanks for your attachment in downloading firefox. your site have good response i like that
nice browser for difficult situation
ES MUY BUENO Y RAPIDO ME ENCANTA SE LOS RECOMIENDO NO HAY DUDA…
I found the perfect solution– Chrome! Works great. And I will stay with it until the FF developers fix what they broke and give us a Firefox that lives up to the standards of
I removed all references to Firefox and Mozilla from the registry after removing Firefox. Then downloaded Firefox 7. It STILL looks like Firefox 8 and I still can’t log on to my bank online banking as I could before. I’m using Opera. It works fine and lets me log on to online banking.
Please disable the auto upgrade for your firefox 7 after you install it..
I found the perfect solution– Chrome! Works great. And I will stay with it until the FF developers fix what they broke and give us a Firefox that lives up to the standards of v1 thru 7.
I hate the new Firefox 8. Been trying to get back to version 7 but not having any luck. Any advice would be welcome
it offers to dl version 7 at the top
I just did…F ff 8!
make sure you dont allow updates on 7!
Glad to see that I’m not alone on this. v8 is poor. MS poor. Not what I expect from Mozilla. I know that no-one is perfect, but… ah well, at least I know next time. Don’t install for a few months, until you’ve seen the reviews.
- Grey font on white. Agreed – it’s blatantly stupid. So in your face obvious, you wonder how the hell it got through.
- Add ons have gone. It would be helpful to have a warning box “If you hit ‘Finish’ and install, you will lose part or all of the functionality of ‘blah’, ‘blahh’, ‘bla’ and ‘blaa’ add-ons.” I’m gutted to have lost Screengrab and Copylinks amongst others.
- Unstable. Crashes, drags and slows, unlike FF normally does, but like IE update did, before I rolled back.
- Restore Session fails often and loses my tabs/pages. This is one of the main reasons that I love FF, so to lose it was the final straw.
Sorry, FF. The problems with 8 and then trying to return to 7 were too much. And 9 Beta was as slow as 8. So I am now using Chrome … but hoping FF returns to its winning ways that made me a fan right from the very beginning of FF, right up until 8 ruined it.
The tide is turning, my people are using Chrome than Firefox now….
Programmers: DON’T change things that DON’T need fixing. Again: Grey/Silver font on white background is ALWAYS difficult to see. I’ve even seen it used for directions on over the counter medications! Tiny print, almost invisible font color……What is wrong with you people that do that?!!!!!
I do NOT like this latest version of Firefox. The home button moved, the refresh button moved….lol took me days to find…maybe because the colors have changed, changed to boring grey. What makes people think that grey font on white background is a good thing????? I hate the tool bar area. I hate that I can’t see the bar with all my websites open at one time, and being able to easily click and close them from the bar. If I can, I haven’t noticed yet. Finding and getting used to these changes STINKS!
i love it so much
Firefox work well.
Firefox 8.0 really missed the mark with this version operating with Ubuntu Linux. I never know what is going to happen each and every time I open a website. Even if the website starts out working I never know when Firefox 8.0 will start to act up. It is like it does not recognize scripts and HTML, etc. This problem is very random but very annoying. I am going back one version which never caused me any trouble. In fact It never caused me any grief at all. Right now I am forced to use Internet Explorer which is working perfectly. Yuck!?
Firefox 8 showing add-ons enabled but music streaming refused to work. First time this has happened and I tried all sorts of add-ons and upgrades. Yukk
Back to 7.01 for me
Firefox 8 is full of memory leaks, bugs and crash prone. I like to keep lots of tabs open, by lots I mean like 50-80. I saw Firefox get to 1.5GB in memory with extension; ridiculous. Firefox 7 used half the ram, and was stable.
I ditto everyone going back to Firefox 7.0.1
Get latest version of NoScript and you are set.
i am very happy to use mozila fire fox
Firefox 8.0 is horrible!! Slowed everything down and there’s now a lag when switching between tabs. Did they not test it before they release it??? Moxzilla, i’ve always been a fan…but you really dropped the ball on this one. Just downloaded Chrome till you guys get this fixed.
Firefox version 8.0 is a DISASTER. Crashes all along and very slow browsing………………..
Like many others I am extremely disappointed with FF8. Changing back to 7 and if there are any problem I go to IE (yuck!!)
Mozilla, what are you doing??!!!
I just want to know who the hell decided to incorporate “bing” into firefox??? I don’t like or want BING in my firefox platform! I want only the firefox browser with all the fixes!!! BUT NO MICROSOFT ADDITIONS
You can remove the search engines you don’t want.
thank u its verygood browser
Well, I have had all the same problems with FF8 as the others and also the same problems trying to regress to FF7. I have been using the beta for FF9 for a week or two and while it is somewhat more functional than 8, it still has too many problems (of course, it IS a beta). So since I cannot bring myself to use IE (even though it works fine) I am going to download Chrome. I don’t want to, but the latest FF iterations are just too problematic to stay with FF (which I have used exclusively, ever since its very beginning). Breaks my heart, but I cannot continue to live with the problems.
I have been using Firefox 8 for a couple of weeks and find it wants to crash and is impossible to remove from the system using Task Manager…thereby requiring a restart of Windows. So I am hoping by moving back to Firefox 7 it will be more stable. Otherwise, version 6 here I come. My OS is Windows XP Professional. I have used version 8 with Linux OK, but only use that OS when doing engineering work.
Okay, I’m back to Chrome. It’s unbelievable that Firefox/Mozilla f*ck up their name. They bring out new versions without checking if the add-ons work and if they check, they don’t tell you upfront. So you’re stuck with a useless browser.
Chrome, here I come!
like many others I too was screwed by FF8, youtube stopped working, nothing I’ve done has fixed it, will try to go back to FF7, or FF9 beta, or Chrome!
Disgruntled,
Were you able to go back to FF7? I followed some directions I found and unchecked updates. My program list says FF7 Version now, but it looks like FF8 and is VERY slow. So I’m not sure what version I have. I’m not a tech person, but I’m in sales. Never saw such disregard for what used to be satisfied customers. Obviously those here who do know computers are savvy enough to know this is crazy.
Please follow the steps:Menu Bar>Help>About Firefox
to check the version of your firefox.
yoyo I did uncheck all updates. I’ve tried several times to uninstall, reinstall. 7 turns into 8 everytime. Other ideas?
I just did speed tests with FF8, Opera11.52 and IE9
Opera had the best speeds, followed by a good margin by IE.
And last BY A MILLENIUM was FF!
I’m going back to Opera for the time being, hoping that Mozilla will resolve the problems with the next version.
Chrome dominates procedurals, hands down.
Firefox 7 was perfect, but I made the mistake of upgrading to Firefox 8. Now I can’t get version 7 back. Version 8 had me so screwed that I had to get out of Firefox altogether.
Same here, it killed my virus protection
Like many of you I updated to v.8. I’ve tried several times to download v. 7 and have unchecked anything to do with updates. Every single time I download v. 7 and open it, up comes v. 8. I deleted directory files and anything that came up Firefox in a search. I uninstalled v. 8 and v. 7 and tried again and again. Still v. 8 appears. What to do?
Please disable the auto update
Find the settings here:Menu bar-Tools-Options-Advanced-Update
Firefox 8 is awful. 7 here I come. I’m so not happy with the changes and it’s slow as hell. 7 worked great, and they’re already working on 9! At this rate, I’ll be using Chrome as my primary instead.
get back to mozilla 7….!
I’m really annoyed with FF 8 too. Why the hell they need to release a new version after every few weeks. I’m considering going over to Chrome if it wasn’t for some of the plugins I need. FF7, here I come again
this firefox is the best so far from all browsers
I’m joining the ranks and uninstalling Firefox 8.0. I’ve been having nothing but problems with slow loading pages since I upgraded. Back to 7 for me!
Firefox 8…not good at all, no add-ons run from 7 work. Remember waiting weeks to get those add-ons?
Mozilla wonders why IT guys will not use their browser…every week a new version with no backward compatibility. Mozilla needs to work with add on suppliers with a heads up, so this crap doesn’t continue. I am back with Chrome…at least it works.
Mozilla firefox crashed into my computer, am trying to reinstall it again and see what will happen …………
I’m unstalling FF 8 coz it sucks. Every adds on that I want won’t work with it. I’m going back to 7. I wonder what the hell has got into their mind releasing FF8 which is a thousand times worse than the previous version…….. Crazy world indeed.
very nice i like it properly mozilla fire fox is the best
I still have an issue with FF. In options I unchecked FF update when I got 7 back; I assumed all was well. Ha! When I opened the browser it updated (like a snake in the grass) itself back to 8! Can anyone help me with this? I’m about to pull my hair out over this Crud.
Been using Firefox for years. But Firefox 8 has serious stability issues. NONE of my add-ons will work. And it crashes constantly. Im scratching my head over this release. Going back to 7. Thank you http://www.top10download.com for making it available.
I too HATE FF 8.0. Lost my Google toolbar, my add-ons, my BOOKMARKS. I tried to go back to 7.0 and the dang think kept updating to 8. Thank goodness I read all the comments and saw that I needed to uncheck update FF in options. I’m going to try & install 7.0 again.
Firefox 8 is a step back to Firefox 4. Takes 5 mins to download a web site. There is a SERIOUS Issues with Firefox 8.
Firefox 8 is horrible; a huge step-back. I’ve lost;
ForecastFox (no more weather)
Google Toolbar
Auto-Fill
What’s the purpose of this? I want to go back to the previous edition. Why would they release this crap without compatibility with all other extensions, etc.Are they losing their collective minds?
i lyk it.
so I just upgraded to firefox 8 and now my computer wont let me open firefox at all. It crashes instantly. I cant uninstall it do a system restore or get firefox 7 back. is their any way to just like box this firefox up and get a new one that is not connected to this one that is messed up? I need firefox to run add-ons so if their is anyway to get it working again be great .
thank you it is very good browser
I believe everyone to say that FF 7 is great.
Thank you
i just like it
thank you so much for this FF 7version, i got a problem with the upd8t of the new FF8 some ”add ons” wont work thank you for this..
Version 8 SUX. too many issues with interrelated common gaming apps and too many java issues. Dont Bother updating and i personally recommend disabling auto updater.
Agree with Bill. Had FFv701 and worked perfectly. Then switched to new HDD and installed FFv801. This is THE slowest version of FF EVER! With 4Mb DSL connection, it reminded me how it looked like when i was connecting via Dial-up…
Well Firefox 8 has much more convenient than FireFix 7
After a week of FF 8 garbage I had enough! Back to 7.
yep me to, downloaded before went back, thought they would have sorted out prob but, same as before, comes up Problem with connecting to website
Thanks, Much appreciated. I had forgotten to do that.
Made the mistake of allowing my re-install of FF 7 to update itself! Guess what? It turned my FF 7 back into FF 8. DOH!!! However, as I was about to re-re-install 7, I happened to notice FF 9 Beta. Since I figured I had nothing to lose at this point, I installed it. And even though it is a beta release, it works way, WAY better than 8. In fact, with all of the caveats associated with betas, I would recommend people try it. You can always go back to 7 if you don’t like it. (Just don’t let 7 upgrade itself once it is installed. You’ll wind up back at 8!)
Don’t bother with 8. Let them sort it out first. I spent all day messing with it. healthy regi
I have had Beta’s that work better than FF8. It often will not render HTML properly, does not handle java well, jumbles some pages, and generally freezes at inconvenient moments. Just now, to complete a task I had to copy the url I was on into IE!!! It worked fine there. I am running Vista Ultimate (I know, I know) on a solid machine and am now re-installing FF 7. It was not great, but at least it worked.
Thanks, for this FF 7.0.1
I have a question, I have been advised to disable the auto update, before running it, if anyone has instructions on this, I would appreciate it very much, thanks in advance. I await the great minds of info…
Menu bar-Tools-Options-Advanced-Update
You can see “Automatically check for updates to:“
If the selection of “Firefox” is selected,it will be updated to 8 automatically.
Just downloaded FF8. It is not compatable with AVG anti-virus, and facebook. I don’t like or recommend it.
Just updated to Firefox 8.0 by mistake!!! What a piece of garbage! I normally don’t do this because Mozilla’s Firefox has been very buggy with recent releases. Version 3.0 was my workhorse for many, many years because of the lack of support and compatibility with so many cool plug-ins. Version 8 was so unstable that once upgraded, I crashed 5 times instantaneously when I opened Firefox (once). Rebooting doesn’t help. I was “ok” with version 7 and thank you folks for providing this service as the Mozilla site makes it impossible to find it. Worse I wanted to email Mozilla to tell them I couldn’t use 8.0 and was prompted to have the latest version before I could! Very, very unlike Mozilla. Shame! I’ll be looking at other browsers.
Opera is working fairly well for me because it can access and run sites that Mozilla seems to have trouble with, like when I’m accessing a HotSpot somewhere or my school forum.
i’ like this version of mozzila
Thanks for the download. 8 has driven me nuts for 5 days. It appears to be totally unstable which is a shame as I have never before had a problem with the Modzilla browser since its advent. Sometime 5 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes, but for no apparent reason “Oops”! Checked for Malware etc but I am clean!
Mind you, Chrome (that I used temporarily to download 7 ) was abysmally slow! Now back to good old 7 and all is well with the world.
Very Nice But Why 8.0 is not working ?
am unable to download pls where do i see the download?
The download link is below the lisense info.
