OK, I hate the new Firefox. It won't support my favorite addons, it's generally a disaster for me.

How do I go back to the earlier version? Is that possible.'

I cannot express how much I hate this browser. I'm going over to Internet Explorer very soon if I can't get my old browser back.

Please help me!

OK, I saw the answer posted to someone who asked this question right before me. The way to get rid of Firefox 4 is to first uninstall it, and then go to the download page for Firefox 3.6.16 with another browser and reinstall it the previous version. It is available on the page which shows all versions/languages. Download 3.6.16 for your language and browser.

Just FYI, on that page Firefox asserts that version 3.6 will not be available much longer, only version 4. That will be when I switch to another browser, after tonight's experience. Just one example: Delicious is not available for Firefox 4; without Delicious, I don't function. And so much more.....

The Delicious extension for Firefox doesn't seem to have been updated for Firefox 4.0 yet, but here is a fix that can be done to make it compatible with Firefox 4.0/

From this thread:
http://domino.symetrikdesign.com/2011/03/25/getting-the-delicious-bookmarks-add-on-to-work-with-firefox-4-0/comment-page-1/#comment-5807

I figured out a simple trick to make the Delicious bookmarks Firefox add-on work after upgrading to Firefox 4.0.

This assumes that you previously had the Delicious bookmarks add-on working in Firefox 3.6.x and you have just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 – which disables the add-on and states that it is incompatible with Firefox 4.0

  • Open Firefox
  • Goto “Help” in the Menu, then “Troubleshooting Information”
  • Click on the “Open Containing Folder” button (within the box “Application Basics” on top of the page)
  • Close Firefox
  • Goto into directory “extensions\{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}”
  • Edit install.rdf and change the following from the first line to the second line 
     em:maxVersion="4.0b3pre" />
     em:maxVersion="4.0.*" />
  • Restart Firefox
