How do I reverse the damn update?!
Last session I must have accidentally updated to the most recent version of Firefox with a miss-click, because the browser looks very different. So I do what anyone does, try to downgrade back to the previously used version. Since it's an old version (I believe 52), it takes a while to go from one version to the previous, and after getting to 59.2(?), it starts constantly crashing. Safe mode didn't help and I forgot that "Refresh" loses all previous session data. How do I directly revert to the last usable state of Firefox on this P.O.S. version?

Note: Some versions of Quantum change how the data files are set up, so they are not backward compatible.

That doesn't answer my question.
I know there was a way to reverse an update in one if the menus on the browser itself, I've done it before. I just don't know how to with the changes in the layout.
Hmm. I have not heard of that. The only thing I know of is;
Install Older Version Of Firefox {web link} Be sure to read everything here.
If you still want to downgrade, look under; I still want to downgrade. Click the Directory of other versions and languages link. Look for the directory of the version that you want. But, remember that old versions may have security issues.
