Upgraded to Firefox 6 and now the address bar does not work. When I type in the url and press enter, nothing happens. So I have to use Internet Explorer instead.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Thanks, cor-el, but I don't know how to start Firefox in Safe Mode, whatever that means. Besides, I finally gave up and uninstalled Firefox 6. Now I'm using Internet Explorer because I couldn't find a place where I could download Firefox 5, the version I wish I had kept but my AVG Safe Search 10.0.0.1390 wouldn't work with us so I upgraded to FF6.

Do you know the url for where I can reinstall version 5?
