doing our fasfa for school financial aid. Right away said I needed to use browser 3.5 or 3.6. Some pages wouldn't come up in the 4.0.

Chosen solution

You can revert to the previous secure version which is v3.6.16 Download Firefox v3.6.16

But earlier versions than that are insecure and potentially expose your system to hacking.

To revert to an earlier version of Firefox, download the file to your desktop first of all and then go to Add/Remove Programs and remove Mozilla Firefox, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc.

Next, reboot and then delete the Mozilla Firefox folder at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.

Finally, run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
