How do I get the previous version of Firefox back? I do not like FF4!
FF4 is not compatible with my Norton Toolbar and I have to have the toolbar it auto keeps all of my passwords. And there are several other things missing that I prefer to have. I want the previous version back or I will go back to Internet Explorer I guess.

Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information.
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4, and uninstall it. Do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Then finally you can reinstall Firefox 3.6. Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, it should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

@jscher2000.....Thank you sooooo much!! You are awesome!! This totally worked and I have my Norton Toolbar back!! I DO NOT like FF4 at all! I would if it at least had my toolbar...but there is no refresh button and everything is in a different place. Anyway, again, thank you very much!! :)
For future reference, the refresh button is the little circular arrow at the end of the address box. It changes from Reload to Go (when you're changing the address) to Stop (while the page is loading). It's an adjustment having all three combined into one. You can split them apart again if you like, but we can save that for later...
