Upgraded to 4.0 - but lost Norton toolbar and auto-designation of sites as safe or not. Want to go back to prior 3.6 version. How do I do this?
When I upgraded to 4.0 I no longer have an auto feature of when I google web sites and get a long list of sites there is no indicator if it is a safe website or potentially malicious website. I had this feature in prior version with my Norton 360 antivirus software. With 4.0 it does not exist.
I need to go back to prior 3.6... version without losing all my bookmark settings and personalization features. How do I do this?

Norton is due to release a patch for both IE9 and Firefox 4 in May. See Norton compatibility with IE9 and FF4
To revert to 3.6.16, do the following.
- Go to Download Firefox v3.6.16 and download it to the desktop.
- Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
- Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- Finally run the installation file you downloaded.
Actually, Firefox 4 does have a means of identifying untrusted sites. See How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?
