System restore can do that, I recommend to avoid using system restore, it can create problems as well as solve them.

Try deleting the Firefox installation directory and then re-installing Firefox 3.6

For 32 bit Windows the default location of the installation directory is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\

You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
