I want to go back to a BETTER version of Forefox, how can I reload an earlier version?
Version 4.0.1 is Terrible, my wife is pulling her hair out because the New and Greatest Version of Firefox does not work as well as the prior version.
We want to use Firefox but not your new versions until they are BUG FREE.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
Thank you Oh so much. My better half yvonne will want to give you a big hug and kiss if this results in a error free Firefox.
