How do I roll back to 58.0.1?? Unplanned bump to 58.0.2 (on a new-to-me PC, therefore minimal history) is a TRAIN WRECK.

Can I simply re-install 58.0.1 on top of 58.0.2??

Currently using 43.0 on older laptop as a fallback!

Used an older machine and version (43) to do anything.

Then Installed 64-bit 58.0.2 + NoScript Quantum, seems to be basically working.

PLEASE FIX update procedures so a user can ALWAYS have the opportunity to decline! Never automagically update without explicit user approval.

Can I safely install 32-bit 58.0.2 alongside 64-bit?

What went wrong with updating to 58.0.2?

Firefox 58.0.2 has been released to address issues with Microsoft Outlook (Hotmail) not working properly.

FYI, Hotmail is NOT Outlook. Outlook.com and hotmail.com are web-based services; Outlook is licensed, executable code installed on the device.

outlook web aps is a web based service that is very similar to hotmail.

Regardless, you never gave any detailed description of your issues in 58.0.2, so I'll go ahead and lock this thread, and feel free to open a new one with a detailed description of any problems you have with 59.0.2 or later (which you should be using on all computers)

If you go to hotmail.com it leads to https://outlook.live.com/owa/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlook.com Microsoft released the final version of Hotmail in October 2011, available in 36 languages. It was replaced by Outlook.com in 2013
