I just updated to firefox 4.o and it doesn't work. Everytime I click search nothing happens. How can I go back to the previous Firefox?

There is a blank white bar beneath where I type in what I want to search for. When I click on it, it does nothing. I want to go back to my previous firefox. I think it was 3.6?

To revert to the previous secure version which is 3.6.17, please do the following:

  1. Go to Download Firefox v3.6.17 and download it to the desktop.

  2. Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).

  3. Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

  4. Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.

Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.


After you complete the installation, go to the Plugins Check page and update where necessary.
