(If you hover over it in Firefox, it says “Show site information” in Chrome, hovering it says “View site information” - that’s the icon I’m talking about.) At the top of both browser windows, at the far-left end of the URL bar, there’s a little icon of the letter “i” in a circle.
(I did this on my Mac, but I’m guessing it would work on other platforms too.) I’m reading this article in Firefox, so I opened a new blank window in Chrome. I just tried an interesting little experiment, with a useful result. In the past I’ve just copied and pasted the URL, but (even for just one tab) that is a little tedious.

Since I’ve rarely wanted to transfer more than one tab between browsers, I’m not inclined to install another extension just for that - especially one that (according to your description) closed all my tabs in the process.

See How To Turn Off Automatic Updates For Individual Firefox Add-Ons for an in depths guide. This disables automatic updates for the selected add-on. Locate Automatic Updates there and switch it from Default to Off. Open about:add-ons in the Firefox address bar and click on the more link next to the extension that you have just downgraded.

Developers sometimes offer download links to old add-on versions on their websites. If you do know the ID, you can download it from the ftp server as well.Ī third alternative comes, sometimes, in the form of developer homepages on the Internet (not on Mozilla). You do however need the unique add-on ID which is not displayed publicly anymore (Mozilla switched from displaying the unique ID in the url to descriptive names instead). You can alternatively connect to the public Mozilla ftp server to download a previous add-on version. Update: The FTP alternative is no longer available. Mozilla removed the add-ons directory from the FTP server. The add-ons manager should now display the installed version and not the latest one. If the add-on is compatible, you can install the extension from Mozilla's site directly and restart the browser afterward to complete the process. Release notes are usually offered for every version listed on the version history page but these are managed by the extension developer some offer detailed information while others may not provide information at all. While it is possible to download these add-on versions, it may not be possible to install them in the Firefox web browser. Note that older versions of add-ons may not be compatible with the version of Firefox. You can install an older version of the add-on by moving the mouse cursor over a version and clicking on the Add to Firefox button to start the installation. Make sure you read the "be careful" section at the top to understand the risks. This opens a new page where the majority of previous add-on releases are listed. Click on the "see all versions" link there to open a new page that lists all available versions of the selected add-on. Load the page in Firefox and scroll all the way down until you reach Version History located in the sidebar. Use the built-in search functionality to find the extension of interest and open its page on the Mozilla website. Just visit any add-on page on the Mozilla Add-ons repository. The first option is presented on the add-on's page over at Mozilla. You have several options at your disposal to install an older version of an add-on. Keep in mind though that older versions may be incompatible with your version of the browser. It is not necessary to uninstall the most recent version of an add-on before installing the old one as you can just install it to replace the newer version in the browser.

This can be a temporary solution until the issue is fixed in a new update or even a permanent solution if the most recent update introduced functionality that you dislike and don't want to use at all.įirefox users have three options to download and downgrade add-ons in the browser.
