i just installed firefox 4 beta but i didn't like it so I uninstalled it but now, my old firefox isn't working properly. my search bar is all weird, my reload and cancel button is somewhere else, my back and forward button's a way too small and facebook isn't working at all, none of my posts are going through my shortcut button won't show up and everything isn't working like it did. I don't want to uninstall firefox cuz i'd lose all my bookmarks and history.

If you uninstall Firefox 3.6.13, you won't lose any bookmarks, history. In the Firefox 3.6 uninstaller, DO NOT select the option "Remove my personal data and customizations"

After uninstalling Firefox 3.6 WITHOUT the "Remove my personal data and customizations", reinstall Firefox 3.6. That's it.

You won't lose your bookmarks by reinstalling Firefox 3.6.13 as mentioned, but you probably won't fix anything either. Open the Toolbar Customize mode, and use Restore Defaut Set at the bottom of the Palette. That should restore the correct positioning of the Toolbar buttons that were moved in the 4.0beta,
