The Blackboard Menu items will not open after an update to 6.0. I wish that hadn't been installed. Can I undo it?

Blackboard is a common Learning Management System. I have used Firefox w/ Blackboard until a recent update was installed. Now, when clicking on the menu buttons, they will not open the function Blackboard. The version is 6. This is disappointing because it previously worked fine; much better than IE8.

Select the link for the version of WebCT Vista or Campus Edition (version info is usually at the bottom of each page, in the footer) that your school is using, then see which version of Firefox is compatible.

Depending upon which version of WebCT your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.6.x, Firefox 3.5.x, or Firefox 3.0.x when accessing the Blackboard site.

My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 6.0 for all other web browsing.
