I hate version 4 and need step by step instructions on how to go back to the older version. Firefox * me.
I hate V4 the should have informed us before we downloaded it that we would need to relearn using it. I'll make one attempt to go back to the version I liked and if that does not work, I'll use something else. *!

You can make Firefox 4 look and behave like previous versions, see http://redherring2.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/firefox-4-restoring-firefox-3-ui
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install Firefox 3.6.* available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
Thank you so much!! Firefox 4, is awful, slow, kept asking me to change everything to 32 bit.... I am so thankful to be back to the old version, although, I am starting to use Safari more, because I seem to have problems with firefox on my mac
I installed Firefox4 and immediately did not like the look of it. It should have an option to keep the old look that I am familiar with. New is not always better!!!!
odranoel, Firefox is highly customizable, you can change it to look and behave like previous versions of Firefox, for details see http://redherring2.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/firefox-4-restoring-firefox-3-ui
The redherring2.wordpress.com.....site didn't make any sense. Right click on tool bar and select "tabs on bottom" There was no option to select that. I don't even know what they're talking about because the settings they suggest aren't available to me on my firefox 4.0 browser.
I have used Firefox for many many years....this is the first time I am now actively testing other browsers and will probably go with chrome. Why in the F would you absolutely reverse things like the right click menus and flip other things around? Yea, I know companies like FB will make changes just to keep some poor coder employed, but I'm really pretty unhappy with the new layout. I've been with FF since 2006, but I think we're going to have to part ways.
