I have installed Firefox 5 over my previous 3.6, and I wish to stop using 5 and install 4 instead. How do I get, download and install Firefox 4 to replace 5?

Why would you go to v.4? Firefox 4 and 5 are the same thing. Go back to 3.6 instead.

Firefox 3.6 (The last good version of Firefox)

If this is a matter of the toolbars they are customizable...

You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)

You won't see much difference in 4.0 and 5.0, version 4 is at end of life (no updates)

For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox

or with the latest of version 3

When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks, cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).
