New FireFox 4 cannot handle multiple tabs. When adding multiple tabs it take to long to access the site then it finally crashes. Can I revert back to a previous version of Firefox?

I just downloaded the new FireFox 4 and I'm have trouble with have multiple tabs open. When I add a 2 or more tabs to the browser it takes to long to access the sites and then the browser finally crashes.

Can I revert back to a previous version of firefox? If so where can I reinstall a previous version?

Or what can I do about the above problem I'm having?

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).

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

This did not solve my problem. I started in safe mode and the problem of having multiple tabs opens still crashes firefox.

I just want to revert back to the previous version of FireFox until this bug is fixed. Where can I get the previous version so I can use firefox again?
