I love change, and I love Firefox. That said, I simply cannot stand Firefox 4. I HATE it. It has robbed me of all kinds of flexibility and customization and until that changes, I have absolutely NO INTENTION of using Firefox 4 on any of my Macs.

Bottom line, I would like to revert back to version 3.6.16 and do not want to lose whatever it was that was being used on my Mac when I was running 3.6.16 a mere half an hour ago. Thank gawd I didn't upgrade to FF 4 on my MacPro running Snow Leopard. I'd be really pissed.

So.... on the computer I am using now which is a Macbook Pro running OS 10.5.8. I would be grateful if someone could instruct me as to how, specifically, to UNINSTALL Firefox 4 (prior to my reinstalling FF 3.6.16?

Thanks in advance, Lisa

I also missed a lot of things. But found solutions for nearly everything! e.g. Status 4-Evar or normal "option settings". My FF4 looks more or less as it was before!! But brings the advantages of ff4. Rgds Jordi.

To downgrade from Firefox 4 to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4 in the, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data" during the uninstall. If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See:

You can then install Firefox 3.6.* available from the following link - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.

To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will

  • force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and
  • reset toolbar customizations that you have made.

For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
