This morning I updated to FF 6.0 and would like my old version back. How do I get it back?

I would like to uninstall the latest browser update I downloaded this morning (FF 6.0). I see no difference from the last version I had other than I can't use Google Redesigned, which is my favorite add-on. I would like my old FF version back. Please help me do this. Thank you.

You can try re-enabling the add-on by installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter. For more information and instructions, see this page:

Re-enable add-ons that were disabled when updating Firefox

You can also find old version of Firefox here, but please be warned that old versions have known security bugs that are fixed in the latest version.

Thank you very much. I added the compatibility reporter, which didn't work, but the link you provided was very informative. It led me through a series of steps, through which I was able to locate the new version of Google Redesigned (which FF was not finding for some reason) and install it. I am happy again with my brand new 0.8 version of Google Redesigned.
