when I download a file the browser and Library screen sometimes shuts down and closes in the middle of the download... I have to reload the browser and then restart the download... I have Firefox version 26.0 ... I just updated to this version about a week ago and that is when my problems started with the browser and library screen shuting down and closing during the download...

can I restore my browser to the older version? or is there a fix for this problem?..

Thank you for your help.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

To downgrade you have to uninstall your current firefox version, and then install the new version.

The problem with your instaled firefox can be a addon:

Or try use this addon:

Thanks
