I have a site I use that's not ready for V4. how can I load a copy of 3.6? I already have v4 working for ewveryone else.
I do work for a company with a site, www.cybershoppersonline.com. It has cautioned it's users that they need to make changes before we can use Firefox V4 and that results may be unpredictable The recommend using firefox 3.6. Note: they also caution against IE V8 and V9.
All I'm asking for is directions on how to install V3.6. any hints are greatly appreciated.

They don't even support IE8 yet? That's been out for two years already.
Anyway, here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 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!
Thank you very much !!! I've successfully completed the 3.6.17 install by following your instructions. Perfect !!! It seems to be working just fine.
As for IE8 you are certainly right. That's the reason I installed Firefox in the first place. I should have know better than upgrading to 4.0 though it works great for everyone else I access. Thanks again, you're a life saver.
