I've used Firefox for years & always loved it 'til now. Just upgraded to version 8.0 and hate it. Even in its Safe Mode, it's way too slow loading EVERYTHING. Even navigating within web sites takes forever, now. I use Windows XP Professional, and have never had this problem before with Firefox. All I want to do is RESTORE the last version I had until yesterday, but can't find it! Please help: Where can I find the previous version? Thanks.

Download Firefox from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
