    Hi Guys,
    I installed Firefox 3.5, but it ended having a lot of issues. Lost of resources (sometimes), not compatible with all webpages, adds on, etc.
    I love firefox, but I guess this version is not fully finished. Is there a way of coming back to my previous version, including all add ons I installed?
    Or do I need to fully uninstall firefox and then doing all over again with a previous version?
    Thanks.

    Just download whichever version you want. Firefox should install its files onto another folder other than 3.5

    You can then still have your add-on and everything else.

    Too bad that you are having issues with 3.5 - it is a good stable version comparing to the earlier ones (for me anyway).

    For a complete un-install, see here:

    cheers ...

    So far so good for me. I've tried it on websites that use tons of flash and it doesn't bog down as with previous versions. Count me as a happy camper. :D
