As i have problems getting Pencil up and running with FF4 so i wnt to remove it and install FF3 again. FF4 is of no value for me at the moment when old plugins and extensions are not working anymore.

But the website is not presenting a link to the old versions? At least i can not find it...

Where can i find these old versions?

Please do the following.

Go to Download Firefox v3.6.17 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 to the desktop earlier.

Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

After you complete the installation, go to the Plugins Check page and update those where necessary.

In addition to the above:

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

  1. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
  2. Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_23 for Mozilla browsers

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Superfluous co-rel, because I already suggested to the original poster that he/she visits the Plugins Check page which will show which plugins need to be updated.
