Where is version 68.12.0?
After having been upgraded to TB version 78, I've spent the last hour and a half reading through the community help areas and agreeing with users who say their important extensions don't work with Ver. 78 and I want to go back! I've read about "download ver. 68" and follow these X-steps.
Well, I'm stumped at simply trying to locate Ver. 68! I've searched every way I know, and all I find is Ver. 68.12.0 Release Notes. Nowhere can I find "download".
Feel pretty stupid right now if I can't even FIND the Ver. 68 file!
Can someone please direct me to the download file?
Oh, and once I find the file, I read that I'm supposed to uninstall Ver. 78 and then install Ver. 68. What happens to all my emails if I uninstall ver. 78? Won't uninstalling 78 delete them?
TIA, Sewlady

No, it won't delete your emails, but before you uninstall v78, export your address books to LDIF format. After you install v68, run it with the --allow-downgrade commandline switch so that it can re-open your v78 modified profile then import the address books.

Or, if you were to post which add-on you most need, someone might help you stay on version 78
Wayne, thank you for your reply. The time I did an upgrade (before 78), one of the add-ons that I used several times a day stopped working. I finally found another add-on that worked, but it took quite a while. I didn't want to bug the first add-on's author after the first contact I made, even though I never got a reply.
Of all the add-ons I had before 78, only 3 worked after the update. Those add-ons made my TB life so useful and not having them was really stressful. I understand that updating an add-on can take a lot of work and I have no expectations that the author will continue to support it.
Again, thank you for your suggestion. I do appreciate all the help that is offered throughout the support forums. And now I'm back up and running Ver. 68! Yay!
