Can you please give me step-by-step directions on how to uninstall Firefox 5 in order to reinstall Firefox 4? I recently upgraded and found out too late that 5 is not compatible with Roboform. I recently upgraded Roboform with Roboform Everywhere 7.3.2 and now that's not working with Firefox 5. Thanks for your help. Donna

To uninstall Firefox 5.0 ...


  1. Click the orb on the Windows task bar (which brings up what is generally referred to as the Start Menu)
  2. Click the "Control Panel" link
  3. Locate and double-click the "Programs and Features" control panel
  4. Locate Mozilla Firefox in the list of programs that appears either double-click it. This will initiate the uninstallation process.
  5. Step through the uninstallation process as prompted (keep clicking Next).

Once you've done that, download Firefox Setup 4.0.1 from here ...

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

NOTE: Because Firefox is temporarily no longer installed, you can use Internet Explorer to download and run the Firefox 4.0.1 setup program.
