I want to revert to a release version and drop the Beta. How?

The current Beta version is eating up huge resources and slowing up everything from typing to mousing (the mouse becomes unstable and hard to move where you want it.) So, I want to revert to a release version but don't want to lose history and that kind of thing (i.e., I don;t want to delete the current Beta version of 5.x and start over.) Any suggestions?

Uninstalling the 5.0 beta version and installing the Firefox 4 release should cause any problems, but you can and should always have a backup of your profile data.
