The latest version of Firefox is not compatible with my McAfee software and now I have no virus protection. How can I get back to a prior version of Firefox?
when the latest version of Firefox was installed it gave me a message that the McAfee software was not compatible and as a result I no longer have virus protection. It further stated that when it became compatible I would be notified. I cannot afford to be without my virus protection and would like to go back to an earlier version of Firefox.

I would hope the problem is that Firefox 5 is not compatible with some of McAfee's additional add-ons. It will be rather worrying if it has a problem with the McAfee security programs themselves. Please state exactly which software and version you are having problems with.
There are known issues with McAfee's Site Advisor /questions/839953#answer-205178 but it is hoped McAfee will solve that in a few weeks.

You are right John99, the problem is with McAfee's additional add-ons. I over-reacted and should have realized Firefox would not have released a new version without making sure it would not interfere with various virus-protection softwares. I apologize for the unnecessary concern.
Glad to hear the AV continues to work, lets hope the rest of it gets fixed soon one way or another.
