System is Windows ME/ many of us don't have new computers. Can I simply access the older versions as we could before, at the bottom of the page, and where? I need a 2. version upgrade from 1.8. People CAN NOT buy new computers for constant changes...do you know how many people have the great Pentium II's and they worked wonderfully!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for EVERYTHING!!! People arn't stupid.

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).
