My Husband recently upgraded from the previous FireFox to the New FireFox Quantum without my approval. My Mac computer is in my name! I do not like the new FireFox Quantum! I want to go back to the previous Fire Fox Browser, Can you please help me? and direct me to where I can downgrade to the latest or very last Version of Fire Fox1? Fire Fox Quantum is Buggy, it is SLOW, I can Not select the URL Box and copy and Paste the URL, I can not open a new Tab! and I think sometimes it affects My OS? I want to get Rid of IT!

I downloaded Firefox 56.0.2 which is supposed to be the version before Quantum - but when I go to install it (I'm on mac) it says it is still Quantum... I don't want Quantum because I want the Amazon S3 ftp plugin again for my work.

I can't seem to find an older FF download that doesn't want to install Quantum... any ideas?

Have you tried a version before 56?

Thank you, FredMcD - I was able to trash Quantum and install 55 and now I have my S3 ftp add-on back, so thanks for following up!
