How to downgrade from Firefox 5 to Firefox 4 (the upgrade never told me my plugins would not work)
Got a message to upgrade to Firefox 5, so I did. When the upgrade was done it told me that my plugins would not work so I was stuck with a million times less good browser after my upgrade.
Your guides how to downgrade only gives me links to 3.6 version and I prefer using 4
