I now have version 3.6 and want to upgrade to version 4. Every time I try, version 5 comes to the screen. I do not want version 5! My Lexmark toolbar and Garmin updates are not compatible with 5......

Firefox 5.0 is a security update for Firefox 4.0.1, which isn't supported any longer. Stick with Firefox 3.6.19 until Lexmark and Garmin get around to fixing their Firefox add-ons for Firefox 5 compatibility. Firefox 5 was released a month ago, and Firefox 6.0 is less than 2 weeks away from being released, so they better get their stuff fixed soon.

Thanks, Mr. Meister! It seems like all I'm doing these days is changing my versions of Firefox. I had version 4 and then downloaded 5 by mistake (don't ask). I wasn't happy with that because it took away things I liked. Then, when I tried to update my Garmin data, version 5 wouldn't let me---so I had to downgrade to version 3.6. I just wish Mozilla would perfect what they have before continually adding new versions.......
