I installed FF 4 and found out that most of the plugins I rely on haven't been updated so I uninstalled it thinking it would revert to the previous version but it didn't. I didn't choose the option to get rid of personal folders or whatever that option was when uninstalling. How do I get the previous version back? I use and rely on the plugins I have/had. Thanks in advance for your help.

To roll back:

First, back up Firefox settings: Backing up your information.

Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older

Close Firefox 4, and uninstall it. Do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.

Then finally you can reinstall Firefox 3.6. Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, it should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!
