Firefox 5 is not compatible with loads of my stuff (google toolbars, Macafee) and I want to go back to 4 - how?

Firefox 5 has automatically been downloaded and now many of my add-ins are disabled. For example, I have no Google toolbar, now page showing all my recently visited pages and no Macafee. Previous updates have not given me any problems - version 5 seems faulty to me. I want to go back to version 4 but if I try to download am only given the option to download version 5. Help!

Same issue. I'm especially miffed that my gmarks will not work with FF5.

Any idea how to get back to version 4 - if not, I will have to stop using Firefox altogether?

Me too and like the above I'm about to jump ship. It seems really odd to update so seriously without bringing your partners with you. Was there a serious security or instability issue?

This is the first time I have used this forum - do the developers actually see it - do they know we are having these issues?
