My brokerage: Merrill Lynch's security blocks & no longer works when I upgraded to Firefox49. Upon investigation with their IT Dept. I discovered that they are forcing their customers to abandon IE7, Firefox, and VISTA for Windows 10 etc. .... this is more of the usual brought on by Mr. Bill and Microsoft changing windows faster that most of us launder our underwear !

I have been using Version 44 for the past 3 years with no problems. 1. Can I revert back to version 44 ? 2. Do I need to uninstall Firefox fully - losing all my links.....etc. and reinstall using a backup offline Firefox44 or 45...Installer?


edit: fixed scrollbars due to space before sentences and removed email and skype name from public and spam/search bots as nobody here does direct support by email or skype.

Hello, difficult answer...specially when security related. Note that probably from the next March(2017) firefox will stop support form windows xp and vista (probably from Firefox 53 and above), and need to change to esr to have support.

you can revert to 44.0, but an update basically needs for the security patches, trying to stop vulnerability, so 44 now is definitely vulnerable and not so....secure

hey, firefox 44 release in 2016-01-26, so you have it almost a year, not three :-) :-) :-)

try a portable 44 version(no need to uninstall your current version) to do your job, but also the portable version is the same....un-secure and vulnerable. :(

portable: 44.0.2

thank you

I fixed my Firefox 49 Browser ! THANKS to Firefox Support, by using the REFRESH webpage at:

Everything works great and it cleaned out ALL those pesky Add-ons that work their way & embed themselves into one's Tool bar. - Nick
