I need to roll back the 55.b2 version of the web developer browser to the previous version
Just upgraded to 55.b2 and some critical plugins are failing. They have been flagged as legacy. I need to roll back to the previous version but I am unable to find a website that has older versions. Everything wants to download the most recent version.
I find the website heavy on marketing and light on useful links and information. I am looking for a win-64 version of ff developer
55.a or 54.

The extensions that are marked as Legacy should still work.
Are there any errors in the Browser Console?

You can find them here:
Thank you. The issue is I am using 'The Addon Bar (restored' and this extension does not work on the new release. As a result, all of my extensions associated with this bar were not loading.
Thanks for the link to the previous releases.
I believe I read some where that 55 will have magor changes to addons and they will not be working and not be able to install a majority of them as going to a new way of doing things. This was released on the 14th if have not seen it: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/06/14/webextensions-firefox-55/
Maybe try the Classic Theme Restorer extension.
- Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
- you can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its "Options/Preferences" button on the "Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions" page.
- you can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button -> Customize)
Not exactly the same problem but 55.0.2 is really lagging with menus and bookmark toolbar folders.
I found that Session Manager was badly messed up with 55; it consistently added many blank tabs to a session, and when reloading a session, it appended the sessions' tabs rather than replacing the existing tabs.
Also, the status bar was empty, and Customize was unable to add "tools" to it. In addition, I was unable to exit Customize; the Exit button didn't respond to a click (I had moved a couple of my important tools to the address bar). I had to exit FF and restart, and then the tab bar had a few dozen empty tabs.
I've dropped back to 54.0.1 (64 bit), which is working fine.
Question: am I going to be stuck forever with 54, or will Customize and Session Manager be upgraded at some point? Or will I have to abandon FF and go to something like Opera?
