How do I get back to Firefox as it was a few weeks ago, before a lot of functionality was lost
Firefox worked great at one time. After several upgrades it has lost so much functionality that I need to go back to IE. However, I have added dozens of bookmarks, which aren't in IE, so I need to switch back and forth.
I'm fed up with it now.
Functionality that was lost: 1, Interactive graphics for weather radar on sites like (but not limited to) weather.com 2. Interactive graphics for price trend graphics on websites Google Finance and Yahoo Finance 3. Can't play videos at You Tube and other sites where they have embedded videos. 4. Haven't been able to right click to download videos to Real Player for a while.
All of this functionality still exists on IE.

Let's try to fix the Real Player downloader and Flash issues first. Check out this article and see whether it helps: Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox.

Thank you. I didn't realize the same program was used for all these taks. I checked on IE (right clicked on the graphics) and found IE was running Flasher 11.2.202.235.
I uninstalled Flasher 11.3, restarted computer, went to the Adobe archive site and downloaded Flasher 11.2.202.235, and installed that.
I now have the interactive graphics capability that disappered, and can view and dowload videos using Firefox.
I changed the Adobe setting so it won't automatically update, will need to ask me first. Automatic updates can be rather dangerous, if users are satisfied with the way the program is running, they can keep the same version.
Thank you
Are they eventually going to resolve this annoying problem?
Hi jye1912, Adobe already released a small Flash update to address crashing issues, and I believe they are working with Mozilla on the other issues (e.g., just seeing a white or black rectangle). But I have no idea on the time frame.
