I've re-downloaded multiple times, changed to Foxfire default online AND on my control panel setting etc and each time i open Foxfire it acts like I never downloaded anything or that it ever WAS made default. It did permit me to make my Comcast acct. as home site. I am so fed up with Chrome, don't trust Internet Exp. anymore and had so hoped that returning to Mozilla Foxfire would be the answer to my woes.

Needless to say, I'm not much of a techie, and I sure do wish I hadn't gone from Foxfire to Chrome in the first place!  : ( Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

  1. Download the installer for the language you're interested in from this page.
  2. Exit Firefox.
  3. Uninstall Firefox from the Windows Control Panel. DO NOT check the option to remove your personal data and customizations.
  4. Run the installer you downloaded earlier.
  5. Open the Help menu — either directly from the menu bar or under the Firefox button — and choose About Firefox. It should say you're running version 28.0.
