My machine automatically upgraded from firefox 4 to 5. My online teaching platform works only with Firefox 4. Is there any way to put firefox 4 back on my device?
My online teaching platform is Angel (Blackboard, or Blueline, as our university calls it.) Angel just updated to work with Firefox 4, but my device updated soon after to Firefox 5. Now I am unable to send messages to people in the course, for instance. Is there a way to convert my Xoom back to using Firefox 4?

If you install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/phony/
and then open the Firefox preferences and set your "User-Agent" preference to "desktop Firefox," then your browser will pretend to be an older version of Firefox. This might allow you to use sites that block newer versions.
Thanks! I'll try it. Helen
In order to sync my Xoom with my desktop, (and to test out the solution suggested above) the instructions for syncing are to download Firefox, then restart Firefox. Of course that will download Firefox 5, but if I do that, it will defeat the purpose of trying to work with an earlier version. I have been unable to activate the sync with the firefox version now on my desktop (3.16, I think). Any suggestions? Thanks.
