Ffox 5 is not compatible with too many of the plugins, etc that I had before, I want to revert to Ffox 4 but that option does not seem to appear on the website.

My norton plugin "identity safe" is not compatible and that is too valuable a tool for me to do without.

Link below ...

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest-4.0/win32/en-US/

Alternatively, navigate to the same location via one of the official mirrror sites. Be sure to get version 4.0.1.

Actually for compatibility it is the other way.

Anyways Norton has actually tried to get a update patch out for Firefox 5.0 back on Tuesday (versus taking some six weeks) when Firefox 5.0 was released. However I think some say the toolbar may not work if patch was installed before Firefox 5.0 and not after.
