RealDownloader addon is on its latest version. It was end of life'd to force people to go to RealPlayer Cloud. (which is evil -it tries to snag all mp3 and video files on your PC and put it up in the cloud -they think this is a great feature people should be excited about) X(

Therefore I need to revert back to the FireFox version thats before 38.0.1 so that I can use the last version of RealDownloader as once we get to the latest version of FireFox - the RealDownloader doesnt show up even though in Add Ons it says its enabled. RealPlayer s solution is to say go use RealTimes -which is part of RealPlayer Cloud -that is not an option.

So how can I revert and stay on the older version of FIreFox?

Would you consider using a different downloader? There are so many... and Mozilla has already disclosed the security flaws in Firefox 37.

So far Ive not seen a safe, viable and user-friendly one. Ive tried about 4 of the top rated downloaders for firefox and none work well. One or two sorta work for youtube, the others require you download their converter to view them. Most include a bunch of other software that bundles malware in some cases. I dont use FF for anything thats super secure.

Hi, As long as you are fully aware of the security implications of using an older version, and you can't find a way around it please see Install an older version of Firefox.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Thanks, but how do I keep Firefox from auto-updating me back to the latest version? Also, if you could make it for RealDownloader to work on a later release again -then Id be willing to stay on latest versions.

Hi, go to Options (cog wheel) - in the 3-bar menu unless you've moved it, > Advanced > (Update).

RealDownloader isn't part of FF, so can't do anything about that I'm afraid.
