I uploaded Firefox 5.0 last night and it apparently cannot accommodate my McAfee SiteAdvisor software, which I paid for and which I want back even if it means unloading the 5.0 version of Firefox. Help.

Below is the only URL I can find. The McAfee SiteAdvisor I have/had is Version 3.3.131. As I said above, I want it back, without having to pay for it again. I would never have upgraded my Firefox if I'd known it would knock out the McAfee SiteAdvisor. Can I just revert to my former Firefox version? I was perfectly happy with it.

The McAfee Site Advisor 3.3.1 extension was the number 2 cause of crashes in one of the Firefox 5.0 betas and Mozilla Blocklisted it. That extension is disabled in Firefox 5, Firefox 6.0beta, and Firefox 7.0alpha versions. McAfee is working on a new re-written version of the Site Advisor extension to fix their problems - ETA is mid to end of July. https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/4.0.1/win32/ and pick your language. Not really advisable to downgrade security wise as Firefox 5.0 was partially a security update in place of 4.0.2
