i did a restore to get rid of updated firefox. know it won't open. how do i get it to open? The reason I got rid of the update is because it would not create multipal tabs of the same website, & i lost my tabs to boot. can anyone help with this?

  • Press the Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to Tab" and see the URL.
  • Use the cursor Right key to select an item marked as Switch to Tab in the drop down list and copy the URL to the location bar.
  • Open the URL in a new tab by using Alt + Enter on the highlighted entry.
  • Open the URL in the current tab by using Shift + Enter on the highlighted entry.

If you use a system restore then you have the risk that not all files are reverted to previous versions and you most likely have corrupted your Firefox installation.
You will have to do a clean reinstall of Firefox and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Your personal data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure not to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
