Going back to an older firefox?
I upgraded a couple weeks ago and cant stand the new firefox. Is it possible to revert back to an older version?

i hear ya... the new one blows
i think you have to look first for your old installer files for 3.6 ?
and save them somewhere then delete the new program
then re -install it with the old version

Go Chrome!

I dumped FF over a year ago and totally satisfied with Chrome. Fastest thing on the block!
Don't waste your time with IE. |

Export your bookmarks to an HTML file, completely uninstall, and reinstall last of 3.x series. Yeh, I'm probably going back too. Big memory leak in FF4.
I opened a FF4 page to Google as a test before going to bed, next morning the FF process had sucked up 500MB of memory.
I could have done some deeper testing to see if it was a specific addon/plugin (actually running a pretty slimmed down version) but I don't want to spend hours testing FF - rather go fishing.

You know I like firefox at first but somehow by hook or by crook some apps ended up being added and real quick I started having big problems. Its too bad they just don't put something nice and simple out there and then just leave it alone. I think most of the complications that begin to aggrevate you come with attempts to sneak in advertising. I know that pays the bills but there has got to be some way to do it without adding problems too.

I saved my bookmarks uninstalled it and did a google search for ff 3.
I hated the set up of 4.
Considering trying chrome if they keep pushing ff4.

I will try to change back i think. I downloaded Chrome, and ive heard a lot of good things about it. However, after about a half hour or so i gave up because i couldnt import my bookmarks. They made it look so easy. Thanks for your help guys.
