Where am I able to download a downgrade from Firefox 6 to Firefox 5??? Nothing but problems when I updated and had to remove the browser totally to make anything work.
Told me that my Java plug in was disabled because it was incompatable. I could get nothing to pull up so did a system restore which should have let Firefox 5 but it did not. I would like 5 back!

choose version, download, and reinstall ... had to do the same thing myself ... wasted an hour!
FTP dummy here :) That takes me to the parent directory but how do I download from there? When I click on the version 5.0 it takes me to more directories and I'm lost.
Firefox 5.0/5.01 is no longer supported and contains security issues that were corrected by installing Firefox 6.0. The critical security fix will not be made to any Firefox 5 versions, including those on the ftp site.
Old Java Console extensions (Add-ons > Extensions) were disabled by Firefox 6. Unless you do Java programming, you do not need them. Java will automatically install Java Console with each Java update, but sometimes the Java update does not clean up the old versions of Java Console. You can remove them manually:

Believe me... I will not be re-installing Firefox 6.0. My Java is working correctly except when I tried to use the 6.0 version - then once it was disabled, NONE of my other browsers would work correctly until I just deleted the whole thing. Sounds like others are having the same issues too.
-> You need to Download & Install Java SE on your system as well:
- http://www.java.com/en/
- click Free Java Download button
-> After that, see this - Using the Java plugin with Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
Got it...Java working...still no way I'm using Firefox when my other browsers are having no problems. Nothing but PROBLEMS with this one and I'm not going to deal with it. Google Chrome is just fine with me!
what other problems are you facing ??
Copper, Firefox has no effect whatsoever on your installation of Java, It's completely separate from Firefox. What else is bothering you?
