Diddley diddley downloads of older versions of Firefox?

Jonny69 · 04-09-2008, 14:32

I'm a klutz. I had a version of Firefox installed on my computer that I was very happy with. Did everything I wanted. Then I got a virus thanks to the missus using IE and I restored the image of my partition only to find it had an older FF which was not compatible with the extensions I had. I could only get FF 3 which is soooo slow, there's delays and a few glitches I'm not happy with. Naturally I never saved the installation file for the version I wanted...

Anywhere I can download the older versions from? I swear it was 2.5 I had but the internet tells me otherwise, damn its eyes.

2.5 doesn't exist. The most recent v2 variant is 2.0.0.16 which you can grab from here.

That was damn quick! Downloading now, I think it could be the one...

I have it saved as a bookmark

If you want a previous version you can copy the download URL for 2.0.0.16 and change the version number in that URL. I had to do that to get an earlier 2.x build a few weeks back.

Whcih extensions were you having problems with?

Jonny69 · 04-09-2008, 15:02

It was Fire FTP but I found a list of their previous versions too. Oooooo 2.0.0.16 is so much faster that 3.

Fire FTP works fine in 3 here? Thats why i wondered, almost all the extensions work with 3 now anyway. Not that i actually use firefox though

A few of mine don't work in 3, sucks

OPERA FTW

Current Fire FTP works fine in 3 but the previous 6 or so versions of it don't work in Firefox 2. It's one of those ones things that I rely on day to day because it saves me installing Cute FTP etc. Fire FTP is just a very very slimline FTP uploader and browser and I find it works better than any standalone FTP program in conjunction with a web browser, website and forum use.

I like Opera but because of Adblock, Flashblock, MenuEdit and FireFTP in Firefox I could never make the change.
